2WW - for those TTC-ing


Jas: you tested positive on opk? Once positive you can Bd on the day itself and the following day.. But if opk still not positive, den you Bd on alt days to cover base.

Shirley, so once after OPK +ve, then when it turns -ve, no point to BD oredi right?

I applied stretch mark cream (Palmer's brand, if i remember the brand correctly) but I still got stretch marks leh...
 
I used palmer's too
But i think stretch marks are suppose to be down to genetics? I think you follow your mum? Correct me if i'm wrong
 
Shery: usually once negative, meaning the surge is over.. You can Bd for one more time to play safe.. Is palmer good? I

Mummyjay: ya.. I read from some where that its run in genes.. looks like I can't run away from it.. My mum has it..
sad.gif
 
Shirley, personally, I think it isn't as great, just like any stretch mark cream. Coz I still end up having stretch marks coz it's genetic.
 
Shirley: yap,he said that my lining is too thick coz probably didn't ovulate for the past couple of mths and the lining prob didn't discharge completely as a result. Can't implant any egg if lining too thick and it is like debris so need to "scrape it off". I can imagine next mth's AF flow to be heavy with clots and thick lining man!! :/

Yes, I will take clomid when I start my new cycle and will go for the follicle scan on CD2. Ok I will ask him for the hcg jab then.

Maybe we will bump into each other at the clinic sometime?

Did u take clomid on the cycle u strike? I hope to have twins man! But realistically, I would b happy with just one. Hopefully next mth will b my mth
happy.gif

I hope he can help me to have my miracle baby next mth!!

At least this mth I m freed of the 2ww n can relax a bit. Just BD-ed with DH and immediately went to bathe after the deed was done. Haha...
 
Hi hi ladies,

Just popped in to say hi n a big JIA YOU to all before I leave on my much needed holiday tomorrow. Today is CD 4 for me, hope to have a "Made in USA" this cycle, haha. If not, oh well, I already made an IVF appt w Prof Wong at NUH for when I get back on the 17th. Hope this will all be our month!

Good luck n God bless all of us!
happy.gif
 
Shery: I guess I have to live with it.. I thought can try to minimize it.. Haha..
happy.gif
how? Gt Bd Ytd night?

Ttc: you're so adorable with your last sentence "go bath when the deed is done". So funny.. I am glad that he manage to find out the cause/problem.. Next month will be your month.. Jia you ok? I took clomid on cd 2 - 6. Had folicles scan on cd 2 and both cd 8. I call up myself and ask for cd 8, but he will usually schedule on cd 14 cos he want the egg to be in good size before can do the trigger.. Initially I Gt 3 good eggs. But apparently 2 collapsed so it became one, which is the one on my left. I did the trigger at cd 11 and he did mention that I will o in cd 12. But I ks abit... Bd on the night itself and the following night.. Haha.. But I have short cycle range from 24 - 29 days.. That's why I request to see him at cd 8 cos worry that it might be a short cycle for me plus I am taking clomid.. So ks abit..
happy.gif


Jas: hehe!! Congrats on your positive opk.. Bd again tonight.. Or you can rest alr.. Make sure you Gt no stress uh.. So your egg will come one nice nice.. Jia you!

Bbcripps: enjoy your trip!!! We will miss you here!!
happy.gif
update us when you're back ok?
happy.gif
 
Shirley: I think u can still attempt and put on stretch mark cream. dont despair... there might be improvement, u can nvr know....

Didnt BD 2 nights in the row liaos. Im super exhausted, my PMS is getting the better of me. Last night i slept super early and really cannot make it. This morning I thought i feel fresh but feel even more tired than before. jia lat liao... i think this month im out already, cannot attempt anymore
sad.gif
 
Hey shirley,

can i just check before u reach week 6 to hear the heartbeat of the bb, do you constant worry about the condition of the foetus?cos from very early weeks cannot feel anything...
 
Dear ladies, I'm really at a low point in my life. I'm now at the gynae. The lab just told us that my DH's specimen has no sperm at all. The IUI is likely going to be cancelled. After all the medicines and injections, this is what I get. I'm really disappointed and angry at my DH for not 'performing'. I don't know what to do now.
 
Cheeka, so sorry to hear about it. Try not to blame your DH on it. He will b upset. Infertility can happen in anyone (men & women). Right now, u all should support each other. Mayb u can go to another gynae for a different test? Did the gynae advise on ivf or other methods?
 
Sorry wasnt in the mood to make any comments lately cos im really sad over my dog that passed away on monday midnight.

cheeka Dearie, pls don't be angry with your hubby, he didn't want that to happen too. I saw on British channel before, there are ways to retrieve sperm, could be hidden at some where in his bottom system. Work with the gyne hand in hand ok? I'm sure your hubby is devastated. Hugs!
 
Btw ladies, I had cramps on left abdomen ytd which I onli encounter when Af is coming. But Af will onli come two weeks later. & tat nite I got positive opk. We managed to BD this morning.
 
Shirley, u can try body shop stretch mark cream. Last time my colleague bought alot from body shop sale. She say it's quite gd. Probably u can buy diff brands & try each brand for a week & see the results?
 
Shery: is never too late to bd. Just try your luck today.. egg can survive for 24 hours.. sperms only need half an hour to travel to fallopian tube. You still gt time darling..

Twinklynn: definitely!!! I am quite a paranoid person.. would get tense up with the slightest thing.. even after hearing hesrtbeat, i also still gwt worried. Haha!! The next scan is at midnoct. Gt to wait till neck long long.

Cheeka: cheer up dear.. i thinknyour dh will feel sad too.. what did your gyne say? Did your dh do SA? Hows the reading?

Maomi: i am so sorry to hear your loss of your pet.. i too gt a dog st home.. can totally understand if it were tonpass away.. take your time to moan for it. I believe he/she is at better place.. hugs

Jas: yeah.. bd again tonight.
happy.gif
 
Morning all.. thanks for the support.

Reiko, Mummujay, Jas, Shirley, Maomi: DH did SA before. Count was low and mor-phology was bad, but it was never ZERO. This is a blow to us. It means that we could not succeed even on IVF.

I blamed my DH. Im wrong for doing that. But I realised that I love my DH so much that I am not willing to let ttc to come in between us. We discussed things through. We're not ready for IVF. We'll take a break from now on.

It's been a long and tiring journey. I think I am preparing myself to give up on ttc (Though in my heart, I know I would never be able to do that).
 
Cheeka: Im sorry to hear you situation. Im glad you have talked things over with DH. Im sure he's very much affected by the news too.

Maybe, you should consider alternative medicine for DH? Like TCM or Malay/indian /intl medicinal herbs to improve DH's situation? Coz earlier the SA was just low, so probably there is a chance to make things better. Dont give up hope, ok...
 
Cheeka: glad to hear that you are ok. Take a break for now and you can always try again after a break. Spend time with each other enjoy each other's company and relax for now

happy.gif
 
Cheeka, did he abstain before the iui? Anyway, don't give up, take a good break and meanwhile, perhaps he can see a TCM? Also, there's this vitamin that will help with spermies, it is by Abbott, Surbex Zinc, green box. You can get it at Watsons or Guardian.
happy.gif


Who knows, maybe with the relax mentality, you will get preg. XOXO
 
cheeka : hugs! give u and ur hubby some rest time for the time being... plan some trip and relax ur mind... get a 2nd opinion with other gynae.. hughug!!
 
Cheeka: maybe can do another SA for second opinion? Maybe that that before that u guys gt bd or he DIY? That's y affect the SA result?

Hugs.. It's not easy for ur hubby too... Of cuz not easy for u too.. Cuz u two work so hard for it... Jia you!!!
happy.gif


Maybe ur hubby too stress.. Who knows when u guys take a break, there will be good news cuz u guys r not stress...

Hi all... DH and I bd like three days before the IUI date. Could that be the reason? But they said that three days should be okay.

Strawberries: Dr asked DH to do another SA in one month time. For now, we will just take it easy lhor....

Maomi: We tried acu, tcm, Tribestan n Exsativa. They dont help. If fact, they are making it worse. Sighs...

Thanks Berries! ~hug back~
 
... long list above, who's reporting more good news?? need more baby dusts around leh...

twinklelynne, u +ve liaos izzit?
happy.gif
 
Hey Cheeka, perhaps it might be the reason, is it no sperm after wash or before wash already don't have? Sorry to ask so much. I'm not sure about Tribestan and Exsativa, try surbex, so far the reviews are pretty good
happy.gif
My hubby also taking, although he didn't have problem but the last IUI I did, my hubby's spermies quality have improved.

Thanks Berries for updating the table. Let's see, Faith and joce, looks like we have the closest date this round.
 
Maomi, ya.. haha all become cycle buddies.. =) this month i had the longest and most red. zzz very tired and painful.. =( don't know if it is due to the duphaston med that gyne gave me..
 
Hi Maomi: The lab wanted to do sperm wash, but could not find any sperm at all. So it should be zero sperm even before wash. Gynae suggested that we stop all supplements except vitamins and folic acid.
 
I have yet to get that red date longan tea. Did not manage to pass by any singseh. I initially tot they sell those ready made ones outside singseh

jas, you have any PMS symptoms? My PMS came in immediately around I O leh... very jia lat PMS...
 
Shery, i bought red dates and dried longan separately from supermarket. Den just put a few in a thermo cup with veri hot water for ard 20-30 mins. haha

I do not hav pms symptoms leh. Wad kind of pms symptoms u hav? i onli hav af-like cramps on fri evening &amp; tat nite tested positive for opk. now i am 2dpo.
 
Oops, i just came back from the supermarket.. next time i go and see-see...

how u count dpo? I have 4 days of positive tests of OPK.. so count from the last day of +ve result?

My PMS symptoms usually is not as bad as this. Now, i feel extremely tired in evenings, been tucking in early, woke up still feeling even more tired, backache, bodyache, and extremely moody. The worst is my temper. I can flare up for no reason. And started since less than 2 weeks i finish my last AF leh.. and I think my body hormones haywire liaos... and my next AF is in 2 wks time.....
 
I assume the day my bbt went up is the 1st dpo (day past ovulation) &amp; the day ovulation ends. Correct me if i'm wrong ladies..

yur pms is post pms or pre pms?
 
PMS usually is Pre.. but it came right a couple of days right after i finished my last AF, is really bizarre!
 
Hey Cheeka, maybe he is too stress. Just make sure he doesn't wear tight jeans, shorts or pants. Wear boxers at home. No sauna or hot pool for him too
