Heya..
Airy, ya i took another prolonged nap this afternoon.. simply too tired. i dunno if it is enough cos tmr is a start of another hectic week..
Brownies, i know how u feel.. don't think about it.. just go with the flow.. i do agree that the more you know the more frighten u become, like there are so many obstacles to a successful pregnancy, that i m sure something bad will happen to me.. but staying negative won't help. I took a deep breathe on CD 18 when my HPT was really light.. i was freaking out the whole day but in the evening when i peed, the line was so much darker. Aft that i decided to just relax and managed to enjoy the first couple of days of my hol. but still the preg didn't stick. all i'm saying is that nobody can help u ease the worry. it must be a conscious effort to let go. You didn't mc before right?
Hahah, me high flier? may be can say so lah.. but i m also very ambitious.. i m not contented to be the average Jane.. always working harder cos i dun wanna look back on my deathbed only to regret that i didn't do this or that when i know it was within my capability to do so.. of cos such an outlook is rather stressful..
I dunno if 6 to 29 million is a shocking increase or not... hopefully that's enough lor. i have to say the first SA woke my hb up cos he was adamant that the prob wasn't him. so aft the results were out, he guai guai took his supplements, cut down on coffee and tried to eat more healthily. yeah gynae says i dun have a prob getting preg.. more like sustaining the pregnancy.. but that was before hb's SA results. aft yesterday, gynae said to do IUI for another 1-2 cycles and see how lor.. yeah i told a few close gfs that i was doing IUI. just this morn i visited a close gf who just delivered her 3rd and her hb is a TCM doc. he told her to tell me i need to bu.. i was like why guys always presumed that the prob is me? When her hb came back, he said cannot say the prob is my hb since we already have one kid. It was only aft his wife told him 2 SAs both showed that my hb was the prob before he kept quiet.. men!!!

idali, first pregnancy is harder yet easier
Harder because it hits you like a typhoon, u will never be prepared enough for MS, pains, aches, rashes etc. But easier in a way as you dont have to deal with a #1 at the same time. Pros and cons ah....take good care and cherish this period. When you feel bb kicking you, everything is worth it
piggy, i can feel your stress and frustration. If you are quite goal oriented in the first place, ttcing cycle after cycle without knowing what exactly went wrong can drive you nuts. No, didnt mc before and with my #1, i was pretty clueless from the start to the end. And ttcing for #1 was quite stress free because there is no toddler with us! But this time really plan quite abit, even the month to start ttc so wont clash with cny but after joining this forum, i realised im really a frog in the well, and thats when i start to worry. So thou now bfp, i really wonder, will god really be so kind to a blur cock like me. But you are right. Its not within our control...i have to let go and allow things to proceed naturally. For now i feel frozen, dare not make any move or utter a sound. I think you are great! You sound like a career woman who values family. Not easy and you still go for #2! Kudos to you, you are very 坚强! Same as my hubby's relative. She every cny get bombarded by the elders about her lack of eggs. Noone bothers her hubby. It is strange how we have progressed financially but not mentally.
bbloh, thank you! Am still checking out my boobs now and then
i also hope growing boobs is a good sign! Because that is my ONLY sign!
missycandy, i feel you! My boy had just peng san and im damn tired! Your gal is very clingy....is she feeling ok? When my boy is sick he is ultra whiney. Errrr i long ago start whacking my boy. Ever since he turned 1. Cos i cannot take it. I try not to but he really gets to me at times. Best is after i whack him he still comes to me crying and hugging my legs, make me damn guilty but next day he will make me du lan again.

hi ladies
Good morning.
Had a tiring weekend as my boy is down with high fever, almost hits 40deg. Had the fever since thursday night, went to see a night pd, things were looking better on fri, but his fever shot up to 39.5 at 3am on saturday, gotta rush him to his pd @TMC on sat morning; and his fever hits 40deg on sunday! The fever has since subsided, but finger crossed that he will be ok.

Last cycle i took my temps and found my luteal phase only 5days, previous cycle was 10 days. Before my #1, it was 12-13 days. Sigh...dunno what's wrong. My temps are still high, but dunno is it cuz i have cold n sore throat. Had cramps on off last week i thot AF gonna visit..
I guess i can only wait n see for now..
Can u girls help me? Is guardian HPT lousy? I used clearblue for my #1 but i tested only 2 weeks after period was due that time...

brownies : Congratz! Am so happy to hear such gd news. BB dust to all of us here. =)
Br0wnies, congrats, rest well.
Canopy, usually fever will hit you when around the 2-3-4am time slots, they are just that bad. Put moist towel on his shoulder to bring the temperature down all over, do not put on the head as it only keep the head cool but body still hot.
Skinneybeenie, normal luteal phase should be 12-16 days, http://www.webwomb.com/luteal_phase_frame_page.htm, you may have track wrongly, track again. You need to track your BBT for a few cycles to see the pattern.
Missy, my girl is in the "ignored teaching". Whenever she cry, all around her with "dispense" in all directions, not to her!! She knows that cry won't get her anywhere unless she fell or something major. Even when she fell and if I can see is not that serious, I won't go up immediately as I want her to learn what is "fall down" and what is "pain".
Idali, congrats and may I suggest you to join the mtb thread for your EDD month, they are in the same shoe as you, therefore, able to give your better suggestion or recommendation.
I'm selling the cheap OPK strips, OPK x 58pc, HPT x 2pc, total 60pc, for S$25 with normal postage. I'm selling because I'm using ClearBlue. Please PM me if keen. Thanks.

t_t - for testing ovulation kit, u cnt just test anyhow.. u must base on yr cycle days then from there you test.. lets say.. 30 days cycle... so u start testing from CD(cycle day) 10 onwards until 20 if u Kiasu like me... whahah so u wun miss your O... to count cycle day, the 1st day you have yr menses is consider is CD1 ... has yr menses reported already? usually gynae will advise to rest before having 2nd one.. so yr wounds can heal be it csec or normal delivery... end of the day, its your choice if you want to have yr #2 so soon... but best is to rest... anyway, all the best !

Bad monday...
missycandy, i use ignore method when it comes to getting my boy to sleep again if he wakes up like 1 or 2am. He will cry and i will let him cry, until the cows come home, i will not let him out of the bedroom. He will pull this stunt every now and then. I will tell him to go out himself if he wants to but mummy will not follow. He will fling himself onto me and cry cry cry but no tear one ok? It will work but provided you have a heart of stone like me and you perservere! My hubby always scratch head, say i always torture my boy why he still cling to me. Duhz, of cos lar, i give birth to him leh. Feed him, bathe him, change him, sayang him and whack him. Of cos he sticks to me, hehehehe, diaoz. But you sure heartpain. My tears just flow the first few times i try to tahan his wailings. Now it's nothing, bring it on!
Airy, not sure if it helps but before our first BD session after i delivered hor, we rented a sexy movie to watch together, hehe. Then we whacked! Really sets the mood
canopy, goodness...can imagine how worried and tired you must be. How is he now?? My boy if near 39, will start to be blabber already, near 40 is very very hot. Thanks babe, am very happy and glad as well, now i continue to wait and pray *fingers & toes crossed*
idali, you able to make it to work?? If you can, its still NOT that bad lar thou i know you will feel very unwell. I have friends who cannot even move, put on drip in hospital. Cannot stomach even plain water, everything merlion. If you can make it to work, quite alright already, so stay positive!
skinny, i've not tried guardian HPT before. Today i tested with Clearblue (DPO14) and it's very clear. 2 days ago i tested with those cheap strips i bought online, got line but not very dark. U can try Clearblue digital? Now Watsons has 20% off...i think. Annisa is right. Lutueal phase is usually 12-16 days. But mine is 11 days. I think 10 days is not unheard of as well. But to really test HPT, best to tahan until at least DPO12 i guess...
jo, DPO is Days Past/Post Ovulation? Haha...BFP is Big Fat Positive? You can guess what is BFN...
Annissa, thank you!
Hope the days will pass faster for now...
Merry, wow all the best ok!!! I know the feeling, can't wait to test, i know....
Charlotte, Merry lor...think she can test this week. All the best to you as well!
T_T, wow...i'm impressed! Good for you if both you and your hubby are up for #2 so soon. Maybe wait until you get your menses first. Then can slow track when to use OPKs to test. Meanwhile, do rest well if you can afford to so your body will be in a better shape to welcome your #2

<font color="0000ff">3 more days til my AF is due !!!!!!!! *bites nails n toes* arghhhh</font>
I'm dumb found when I see just delivered mummy to want to try for no.2!!!!
After delivery, we need to build back the calcium lost especially so if you are breasfeeding and intend to feed for long, I would say the standard now is for 6 months. I did 9 months of full BF, then partial till she is 12½month old.
For the 1st 2-3months, there is nothing much you can do except feed and sleep and play a little. 3-6months, you need to work out some activities with the little one and also it's about time you come back to workforce after 4months of maternity leave. That time, I only enjoyed 3 months, I did 2 full months and 2 months of ½ days. 6-12 months is the time you intro solid to the little one, also thinking of which learning direction or enternal enrichment you may be keen to attend, a time where communication is clearer and easier to establish. I read some where that the 1st 2 years of the kid is important. I kept that in my mind and never regret it.

ladies, i already used to see only 1 control line in HPT strips, haha, so now i only have 10% to get BFP, so wont get dissappoint so much.
i told my husband i want to try IUI if fail next cycle again, cos really dont like to waste my time. But understand that IUI also only have 20-30% rate to conceive ?

I staying at Yew Tee but I saw Dr Wong at his Bukit Gombak Clinic for my #1 too as recommend by my fren and find he not bad so stick to him...thinking of seeking his advice this mth after my AF clears like donkeymami.
Annisa, u are right, the 1st 2 years is very important for a kid....I also never think of #2, all my time for my gal that time...already drain up all my energy n time, affect my work badly too

tomato, recently, I came across this article: http://www.circleofmoms.com/article.php?article_id=316&trk=digest_editorial_316&subj_id=246&email_enc=ldCm1N2mmtrT06Hfws7QomeX0aWZ3Zo%253D&email_src=13066272216939452525845732a71a5e79f855eddb&template_name=digest_weekly_2&has_fb=1
Hearing and seeing friends around me, personally, I think 4 years is the right gap, mine is already 5 this years!!! I gave up last year then I kena but M/Ced. Now I feel that I'm giving up again!!!
Piggy, just make sure you child proof your place. I'll get her to clean up if she messed it. I'm an evil mum.
Sorry people if I'm too straight-forward, just speak my mind, no hiding.

missycandy, i hear you...i know EXACTLY how you feel. Felt like tearing my hair out but actually keep squeezing my own (o)(o)!
tomato, not sure if it's because i use clearblue that's why its much much clearer. Maybe i wait another 2 days and test with the cheapo strip again. Should be confirmed ah! Having more and more white CM these days...i think that is another sign. I haven't tell my hubby...maybe in another few days! Yes he will be very happy. Actually i feel best is confirm heartbeat first then tell him but not fair right, if he can't get to see heartbeat for #2. Just don't want him to go around telling people first when i haven't even had my first gynae visit ah. Hehe...i don't know where my hubby got his hands on the sexy movie but he say rent one leh. So long time ago liao...a chinese movie actually. Come to think of it, it's more like porn! My boy is now 2 years old. So mine will be a near 3 year age gap thereabouts...
Charlotte, maybe the mummies decide to take a break. Because it's mentally so tiring and stressful to continue TTC nonstop...
annissa, you will be surprised that actually quite a number of mummies TTC soon after the birth of their #1. Either they cannot wait due to age or because they are very heavily dependant on the caregiver and will prefer to one shot have 2 so that can 'make use' of the caregiver at one go and no need to worry about how long the caregiver is willing to take care of the kids. Or some, their babies are very easy to care for, so they have energy left to TTC. To each her own bah i guess...but health is important like you said. Delivery takes alot out of a mummy's body.
donkey, yes yes my hubby will be very happy but he will also go around and tell people if he is happy, he will burst. But somehow, i still not confident now...so i rather wait...

<font color="119911"><u>Interval between pregnancies</u>,
My friend planned for #2 six mths after she gave birth and she got it immediately (lucky her). Another became pregnant (unplanned) just three mths after her first-borne. They each lamented that you really need extra help in caring for both babies due to the close age gap.
jt_junior,
Did you deliver vaginally? If yes, you may want to rest more before getting pregnant again, so that the muscle there will have time to strengthen, to prepare to carry the next load, and to prevent Urinary Incontinence. Of course, if it's C-section, all the more you should space out the gap so that the wound has time to heal.</font>

<font color="aa00aa">Harlow ladies!!
Im at home..been sleeping on n off.
Oh i heard my name being mentioned..hehe
Missy,
hehe..be like me ah?
Im terribly pantang lah esp after losing 2 angels.
Now also still pantang as i havent buy a single baby stuff.
Will wait for aug or sept then buy.
Brownies,
i warn my hubby not to say anything till first tri is over.
And he has obeyed me..haha
Canopy,
oh dear..can understand how worrying it is as i just went thru it 2 weeks ago.
U can buy the cooling pad from guardian, put in fridge the lay a cloth or towel on it n let him sleep on it to bring down the temp.
Missy,
before u start the ignore tactic or naughty corner, remove all food n drinks from her.
So u know she wont have chance to play with that.
When my boy start throwing tantrums, i put him on his naughty chair in his room n lock the door.
He will start crying n wailing but must tahan..must at least let him there for 5 to 15mins.
Then i will open the door n go in.
Kneel down to his eye level n ask him if he wants to stop crying n keep quiet.
Then i warn him if he doesnt want to stop i will go out n lock the door again.
Usually he will stop.
Then i will ask him whether he thinks whatever he has done is good or naughty.
He will ans naughty cos he knows it is.
Then ask him if he is naughty or good boy.
He will say good boy.
Then ask him will a good boy do (describe what he did)?
He will say no.
Then ask him, so now u are naughty what must u say?
He usually will say, sorry.
If he was naughty to someone else i will get him to go out n say sorry to that person, his daddy or grandpa etc.
I will watch from a distance.
Usually this works for me but all the while must maintain eye contact n stern face so he knows i mean business.</font>
