my hubs also stubborn mule... also dun wan.. keep saying my soldiers power one, no need do one la... dat time I so angry that I almost wanna whack his little bro... somemore he dun take supplement, got seafood allergy also dun wanna take zinc tablet.. and like only me who's keen in making baby.. that time ttc was super stressed man. One thing which is comforting is hubby was very willing to bd during those impottant dates which i highlighted (in red somemore) on the calendar (as long as he's not on biz trip.... couple of times during my fertile period, he wasn't in Sg and i so pek chek that i dunno wished how many times that i could actually extract his sperms and stored in the fridge then i put in myself when he's not ard....)
and i didn't use Opk, actually i am very ignorant, before joining forums, i also dun even know theres such thing as Opk.... i just took the ba zhen to bu aft menses, and drink those longgan red dates drink regularly to keep womb warm.. cut off caffeine completely (used to be an iced latte addict, one day can take 2 cups that type..) and cut down soft drinks (but still got frink when weather gets too hot, cannot cut off completely unlike some really good determined gals here)
But i was very obsessed with dates and calendars. And i keep track of my period faithfully. Used to bd frm cd14 onwards (I have a regular 25-28 days cycle) but bring it forward to Cd 10, just in case. cleared stocks on Cd 7/8 (my period only lasts 4 days, max.)
I did wat i cld and i tell myself if still dun have, i will confirmed go IUI. So i felt so much better when i had a (somewhat) plan in my mind..
