vanilla: think from this webby, it said that the selection process for the eggs to mature is chosen 90 days before O wor..

I dunno when will the eggy start to grow but read online tt it grows by 2mm per day and then during the final stage, may grow exponentially.. need 2.5cm to be considered as mature, as informed by my gynae.. then prev measure, mi biggest's less than 1 cm, so guess gotta wait alot more days, provided if the bigger one continue to grow.. I also dunno if will the bigger one stop growing and then be overtaken by another of the smaller one.. If yes hor, then tis gonna be a longer wait wor..
But tis good to have a follicular scan to determine the size then agar agar fr there.. =p I went for the scan coz I monitored 2 lines on OPK for so long, more than a week but tis never positive then on tt day itself, got sticky CM, so happy, thought I O alr.. then hurriedly went to gynae, turned out the sticky cm sign not true, havnt even O, nt even nearing O sia.. -_-
faith: mi TCM costs $900, includes slimming accupuncture, coz I went to gynae before and he said tt for PCOS pple to get preggers, hafta lose some weight and considering that I still have lotsa excess weight left over from the pregnancy back then, decided to go for the slimming package too..
Did some comparison and still stick back to tis clinic coz for $900, the physician will do tuina on the back, massage on the tummy, then accupuncture on the back for 20mins (with those vibrating thgy attached to the needle to stimulate the accupoints), then 20mins on tummy, leg and all.. then can end off with a suana by sitting inside a heating thgy.. but I din go for the suana coz scared too hot kill eggs... =p haha..
But what I like abt this is that I've been having dull pain/ache at lower back for couple days already and both knee caps's act up when going down the stairs, then tell the physician and she'll do accupuncture on those points too.. haha, v comprehensive..
It used to be $800 for 10 sessions (each session last around an hour or more) but they increased their price to $900 recently.. =(
Oh yar, they'll prescribed and mix those herbs for one to take, then herbs are separate cost.. 2 pkt per day for a total of 7 days at $38..
Then I told the physician tt am trying to get preggy but AF's super not regular (so far AF only in Jan and May), then my chances are greatly reduced coz O not frequent, then she said my 胃 not good, body 虚热 too, so mixed the herbs to strengthen womb, 胃 and all..
Now taking her med, hope tt can promote O faster so tt can try soon.. hafta regulate tt messy AF back first, else I really have reduced chance.. sigh...
But nvm, at least am doing something, hope will yield results soon.. =)
But considering the high cost, think I will space out the sessions (she asked me to go to her on a weekly basis, but it'd be like I'll finish tt package within 2.5 mths), so think since am nearing O for this round, will go back this week too.. but aft tt will space 2 weeks (coz when O and during the 2ww, I also dun dare to do accupuncture.. =p) then aft tt go back 2 consec wks to regulate, then rest 2 wks, hopefully can maximise the lifespan of tt package.. haha..
Oh, regarding self -massage, the video said to massage in circular motion, then how to identify where the ovaries are hor, is where the physician poke the needles in, so think tis correct.. heh heh.. I just anyhow rub rub in circles, then the video said tt the link to the pituitary gland in the brain is actually on the back of the big toe.. so can also massage the back of the big toe in circular motion.. maybe as long as dun massage too hard or press down too hard should be okay? at the very least, maybe touching where the ovaries are give some warmth and promotes blood circulation with the gentle rubbing.. =)
buying more OPKs.
