Wow catching up w all the posts and saw another good news, congrats Daffodilgal!

CD1 for me after a long 53D cycle, broke my longest record of 49D! Any cycle buddies?

Btw, those brewing TCM herbs, can I ask if you have good recommendations for the cooking pot?

Yaya, agree prunes work. How about banana? First must start with lots n lots of water, to loosen the stool.

Maybe grapefruit also can.

Now that this is mentioned, I wanna say that my TCM actually helps me to move bowels daily! it's never hard anymore.... last time used to be once in few days and not healthy one.... hard stools.

baby_sparkles said:
wah so many posts to follow!!!! i read till blur
again as im typing one new alert flashes.

on the topic of cooking, i also love cooking and baking as it helps relieve stress. but i personally enjoy it too.. so my hub told me to cook and bake when i feel like it cos after MC and TTC he knows im very stressed. he is a cleanliness freak mah so he doesnt like mess and prefers i dont cook actually. i also have recipes to share. so who's keen can let me know. 家常便饭 - wholesome and tasty hehe. simple ones lar. like olive fried rice, chicken soup, sweet n sour prawns, sweet n sour pork, broccoli with chinese mushrooms, fried mee tam mak, baked fish with olive oil. blahblah

Emily: dont feel that way. ever since i TTC and went thru IUI IVF and D&C i became very depressed, upset and angry with myself. I feel sorry for myself. like why so useless and barren, till now still cannot bear a child for hub. then i stopped going out with alot of friends who are already parents. i kept delaying and postponing or canceling but some somehow still met .. cannot siam. i become very cautious and skeptical on which friends i meet now. Some still invite me to their bb shower. but i dont feel like going, i have become very anti social. I only meet very close ones, and the very close ones know what ive been going thru. etc. The others who dont know, always see my travel pix lor. think i so good life, and envious. no kids always go holiday. but they misunderstood me. alot still duno what has happened to me in the past one to two years.

Anyway long story short, whatever it is, i think family comes first. Friends, just a few good ones can liao. My hub is also my best friend now.. so cherish our families.. and dont be too stressed. AF will affect our mood so maybe u tend to feel abit emo today.

Forum here is meant to help each other and good for TTC encouragement. Ive made very close TTC group of friends and we whatsapp everyday, We talk abt anything under the sun, so that helps lighten the mood abit. U havent gone thru IVF and failure so ur 'pain' isnt as much as mine. So be happy!! Indulge in ur fav food today

yah today suddenly had tt thought too... to become more antisocial, and avoid all kpo pple... think the only place i am happy now is at work... coz i hang around male colleagues... men seldom kpo such things one... so no trouble at all... anywhere else very easy bump into a kid or some talk about family etc... dunno issit coz hormones or what... today feeling so blue... was tearing on the train/bus on my way home... and bff hb is still away... :'(

Some say avoid delmonte when ttc as they are very cooling. Prunes should be good.

Those who BFP, my previous TCM advised not to take papaya during first trimester. Will cause uterus to be 'slippery'.

Don't be sad, doodoo. Sometimes hormones at work, we just feel very upset. Sometimes I will just cry while eating dinner alone at hm then run to the door like a dog when I hear my hubby opening the house door.

I hope your hubby come back soon to sayang you.
 
Hug doodoo.. hormones hormones forever playing trick on us.. i was mentioning i got pinkish discharge.. jus now go toilet n wipe.. nothing!! Well, im speechless...

Can but not those del monte type, I think those kehleng or pang jio can eat in moderation. Haha no sure what dialect you speak but essentially most bananas sold by supermarkets are cooling those you get from market fruit stalls some are ok.

Doodoo, precisely del monte are yummy and hard to resist!

Hormones at work.
Sometimes I also like that.. Then cry out will feel better. Cry, eat something you like then go for a long sleep, hopefully these will help you feel better.

Emily, hug hug:) sometimes it is better to jus let it all out .. Ventilate out is better than bottled up.. We are all here for u:)
Did you manage to visit gyne P today? Too many posts.. In case I missed out.. Praying for u:)
 
seen my gynae p tdy. he said that one cannot confirm is cysts. seems like egg to him. he alwys says that's egg. he said must do another one next cycle and 1 more will be near O period so tht he can judge isit cysts or egg.

I keep wanting to cry... dono y so emotional. oso dono wanna cry for wat. for no reason. but definitely not bcos I nv get bfp. jus dono y.

I think I not only need to see tcm, gynae, but psychiatry/psychologist.

Emily, you wanna visit other gyne? Cos my gyne one look at the intravaginal scan can tell me what kind of cyst it is .. And that time I also have eggs in both my ovaries, she can tell me how many and how big are the eggs.. And my cyst was growing at my left ovary at that time too.. She monitored me for 6 months while I TTC at the same time and I always got a bfn and the cyst also kept increasing in size.. Finally after much monitoring , she suggested to remove it. During laparoscopy , then discovered some endometriosis cysts (which can't be seen on ultrascan or intravaginal scan .. Only via laparoscopy ).. So if you think your gyne not too confident , you may wanna get a second opinion. That is just my thought.. .. But if you feel that all these seeing of gyne and TCM is giving you even more stress, then take time to have a little break before proceeding forward.. Take it at your own stride .. You are slowly clearing away hurdles to getting a BFP. .. Don't feel sad or discouraged. I'll be praying for you:)

thanks angel mommy. ok pls share your gynae thanks. if she is near my plc, probably can be my 2nd opinion. cos gynae p quite near my plc. at least not long waiting and convenient. I am too tired n strained to travel too far. that's y I chose to see normal gynae than seeing fertility gynae unless, in future, I wanna check detailed.

my gynae p suggested hubby to go lab test sperm count. he oso told me abt e few things u mentioned abt. ok very chim to me. I lack of research on tat. so I m still blur. he is very patient, he is not tt kind tt will ask u do anything for his sake of earning. he mentioned aft e sperm count, probably monitor my ovary thru ultrasound. if still not pleasing, will go for e dono wat anovulation check. pardon me for spelling error... and e dono wat fallopian tubes check. he oso mentioned e check needs to do a op, keyhole op from tummy to check e tubes etc. so scary I hope I wont need tt. I m really new to all these. n I gonna do my detailed research
 
angel mommy... to add on. of cos I wont stop mt tcm. 2 weeks ltr gonna see tsb. will bring e reports to show her. mayb she pro. can see. if she dono it's ok. wont blame her as tis is not her field. even my gynae oso couldn't explain until further or subsequent test to compare

From this post of yours, It seems your gyne P still have some kind of follow up plan for you. If you are still comfortable with him, go ahead and stay with him.. The key thing is, I feel the gyne should be confident and know what he/she is doing and has a follow up plan and an accurate diagnosis. I'm seeing Dr Yu Su Ling at SGH . She is confident and experienced and I like her. She does a lot of IVF. When I told TSB that dr Yu did the laparoscopy for me and she is following up on me, she told me she also heard about dr Yu and knows she does many IVF for patients. I'm not sure where you stay, but you decide who u are comfortable with:) hugs! :)
 
Just back to town and see so many posts to read.

Daffodilgal congratulations!!! You are no.1 in April, guess you tested too early, Your implantation just over no long and HCG begin to build, it will double up in next 48hrs, you can try to test again on Thursday, line should be darker than today, may I know what brand is your cheapo HPT strip? It is good brand, HCG 23 can only detected. Well done.

Hopeful_mum, don't worry so much, like what all the sisters here said, many preggie experience spotting in First trim, but I suggest you bed rest more, did your gynea give your extra support? Like progesterone jab? Please take care and do thing slowly.

Emily hugs hugs, thing will turn out well, we are here to support you, I don't have many friends either, that's why many things can only keep in heart, I am very glad to have you all here, everybody is so supportive and understanding. Thank you everyone.
