siyingong, i am having cramps too... on and off mild cramp.. so u're not alone =)
Mine are faint but visible. I used 3 different brands, the cheap strips turn out very very faint, the dollar tree ones (bought in US) and the final one that I bought fr the pharmacy are quite evident. I'm not so worried the lines are faint now cos I know the HCG level is not high yet, more worried that the line will disappear

Hi Blur02, I think no need to worry much. I asked another gynae today, and she say as long as baby is growing in the uterus, no need to worry.
hi Ployrin, she's my gynae~ Cos her clinic is relatively near my mum's place~
Tinypixie : My last AF also 3jul.. But as at 14/8, i use CB digital.. im only 4-5weeks preggie. So i can say mine is late ovulation???

Xiaobeanie : cos i got bad m/c experience in mar this yr.. I went to see gynae at week5, gynae ask me go back 2weeks later, during these 2weeks i stil have those symptoms..when i went bk, gynae cfm there is no h/b, bb no growing.. So i vvv sad ... so i have a d&c..

Hi Blur02
I cheong down to NUH yday to look for my IVF prof, did blood test confirm pregnant HCG level 3177 so i did a scan to confirm it's no etopic. So stressful, imagine 1prof, 1 Dr, 2 technicians surrounding me looking for the sac at the Fetal care center. Am on 2jabs a week, Monday and Thursday, continue crinone gel, progesterone inserts & folic acid from last IVF leftover and new Duphaston. Hopefully next visit can hear heartbeat. I was told to go for scanning every 10days.
Actually i'm just guessing my DTD will be April. Coz i don't see a May thread, LMP 12July

when should we visit the gynae? week 6 onwards?

My gynae suggested that the first checkup should be 6 weeks onwards, then u can see h/b and see more clearly on the ultrasound.i just test positive this morning too. Using watson home brand test kit and the result is faint. Edd should be late April too.. my #1 too!

Ohhh okok.. great.. folic acid shld be enough hor?? Previously i was consuming Blackmore CW, but i stopped when i was sick. later i found out i was preggie so i consume folic acid instead though CW is safe.. actuali i have my worries.. Haizz cos i had a m/c in mar where bb stopped growing at 5weeks... Not considered a m/c, gynae said blighted ovum.. something like this.. I was devastated at then... So now i hope bb grow up healthy inside my womb!!!
Hi MTBs,
Hope all of you are getting enough rest!
Yup, from 6 weeks onwards you will be able to hear hb le, and from 8 weeks you can see imbs... really amazing. My #1 I already got to know the gender at 12 weeks... Although many disputed that but its true lor...
If you wanna take any sups or tonics, better not. Folic is ok to take. All others, including Vit B6, should hold first unless prescribed by gynae. For chinese tonics, better to start only 2nd trimester, not in the 1st. That was the advise I had for my last pregnancy. From 8 weeks onwards, can start on Enmum and stuff esp if you are lacking in appetite, unless really cannot drink due to morning sickness then no choice lor... Gotta wait....

blur02, i dunno abt the expanding feel, but definitely having some cramps. i even wake up at 5am in the morning cuz of the pain. (not very pain but i woke up becuz i'm a light sleeper) i feel very thristy too a few days back, but feels pretty normal now. and last night, on my way home back, the smell of fried chicken, makes me nausea ttm!
Blur02, ya most prob u hav ovul later instead... Anyway try nt to worry too much though I can fully understand the feeling of no hb or bb nt growing... My first one also had a bad ending in Apr this yr... Feeling was pretty bad becos I was 2/3 there le... Muz try to think positive and stay cheerful for the sake of the current one~
Anyway no two preg are the same... Ahaha this time my symptoms and cravings are like more extreme... More MS also... Which I shall take as a gd sign... For me I realize drinking more water at one go result me to go toilet more often~~~

Hmm wat I heard is opposite... Especially if your consulting a TCM Dr, the Dr will tell you to take the tonic herb soup till 1st Tri then stop at 2nd Tri.... Mayb hav to see wat kind of tonic also bah....

My sinseh doesn't prescribe herbs or tonic even during ovulation. Once he knows we are pregnant, he will advise what not to eat, no extras to eat and no tonics until after 2nd trimester when the embryo is stable and strong. Even basic wolfberry, red dates avoid at all cost
Usually 1st trimester and 3rd trimester are not safe periods. We have to take extra care during the first 3 months as the baby is forming, thus alot of foods and tonics we need to avoid. In 2nd trimester, we are supposedly able to start having tonics, but I remember there are some that we should avoid, just cannot remember what they are.... Sorry... bad memory these days...
Foods are just the same. Need to avoid the obvious, raw foods like sashimi, uncooked food like soft boiled eggs, certain cheese (soft ones) and super cooling foods like grass jelly (chin chow). I'm pretty sure there are others... just not too sure what they are and I can only remember these. HTH!

@akaysha: my sinseh said the same thing. Just came back from TCM but consultation only $8 so a list of To-Do & Do-Not-Eat/Do and felt strong pulse on my left hand but not right hand
1) no herbal tonics until 1st trimester over because the body is undergoing changes so no point to bu
2) red dates wolfberry in moderation, 1-2 dates in whole pot of soup ok but don't drink red date soup
3) avoid ginger tea coz it disrupts the Qi in the womb
4) no raw food
5) no alcohol and caffeine
6) come back at week 6 to predict gender
7) come back at week 12 for "An Tai" herbs, drink one time not whole week
I prob tell my parents after I next scan when I hear heart beat etc then can start to bully and order my parents and mil around. But so far all my friends know

Hello All
I am a little scared to join here but I tell myself I need to pluck up the courage and stay optimistic. If everything goes well, this will be my #3! I had a m/c at week 7 for my 1st pregnancy, stillbirth at week 34 for my second pregnancy and we are lucky to have two healthy boys subsequently. All pregnancies except the first one had extremely bad headaches and morning sickness (more like evening sickness actually). Had taken duphaston and injections before but decided to just go natural this time. Been through natural delivery and c-section so I'm very experience! (yah, tough time during pregnancy so I experienced so many things) Need support support support!
Please add me into facebook [email protected] and keeping fingers crossed that I dun need to pull out from the group!

Hi blur02,
My last AF was 7Jul, so yours and mine should be quite near.
Our ovulation day may be different also.
I guess you should be around 6wks ba.
Usually from 6 wks onwards can see your Gynae already.
But sometimes ard 7-8wks then can hear bb HB. Depends ba... some can hear early too.
No harm seeing Gynae early
I still thinking to change my appt earlier or not. 30 Aug seems so long.....

Ya accordingly to online calculator, ya i shld be in week 6 last week liao i think..
but when i use digital CB last wed, it nv shows me 5weeks plus leh.. it shows 4-5weeks.. that means jus only worr. and i tested faint positive only on 11aug leh which is my CD40..So i suspect is late ovulation???
Clear blue 4-5 weeks meaning you had conceived 4-5 weeks ago.. not how big you are... i use that as well
June_june : nope.. To be exact cb digital shows 2-3weeks ago.. so im ard 4-5weeks preggie am i right?
kind of worried..

blur02, i think it's meansuring hcg lvl so if CB is showing 2-3 weeks doesnt really measure the accurate date. most likely just an estimation. you could be 4-5 weeks pregnant or more.
Hi all,
