This month haven't start engine yet but still tracking my ovulation.. I have been testing for LH surge since CD 10 last cycle I started to get smiley face on my clearblue on CD14 and LH surge lasted for two days (CD14 &15). And from my bbt chart, TSB told me I ovulated on cd16.
This cycle i gotten my smiley face one day earlier , I.e. Today at CD13. I am happy to detect LH surge earlier and hopefully I will continue to ovulate and have about 14 days of luteal phase I will continue to track using OPK and clearblue until I get a low fertility (empty circle on clearblue). I've started to take TSB's brewed medicine last thurs .. I'm brewing the 2nd packet tonight , will see if her brew medicine works well for me
Jia you ladies!

Emily, yah, usually us girls.
But you must also relax also. Can understand your frustrations as you spent so much today and when unwell, really will blur and forget to clarify things. Take things slowly. The more you gan cheong about health, the more upset you will be. Tml if can scan, see what the gynae said then after that maybe take a break.

Hey emily I consulted dr ben tham, my scan was done on cd 6 with no af. I can aslo see the "string of pearls" on the tv siah.. I see I kmow le. Then he told me.. later I will tell u more abt pcos
yar long time friends!! not sure if tt's a good thing in ttc thread... haha.. but yes let's hurry bfp and become "visiting alumni" here!! hhehehe yar now tt my cycle start to screw up, i really appreciate regular cycles...
i totally understand tt.. me is middle childherh herh i always feel that the middle child very lugi... unless he is e only son in e middle or unless he is e only daughter in e middle... i have seen a lot of cases le. cos during childhood, eg some task or some things like expensive things, game or pc... parents will let e eldest child handle and control cos thy older ma know how to protect e things. then cute cute toys all give to youngest cos youngest ma will like toys ... then e middle one neglected..
whoa so nice... ur cycles very short n stable!!! haha not a single time in my life did i expect i would be envious of tt of other pple... coz all my life my cycles very stable one! only the few months after i anyhow take pills to regulate menses then cycles screw up (but always shorter, never longer)... this is first time longer... whoa and just when i need the more regular cycles... sianz...This month haven't start engine yet but still tracking my ovulation..

Hello ladies!! Only away for a couple of days n the posts are running like bullet train speed!!!! Been busy celebrating my hubby's bday over the weekend so nv post anything!
Talking abt 喜脉, I had a weird dream few nights ago! I dreamt I was having bad diarrhea so my mum took me to see a female tcm sinseh at a void deck! She used stethoscope and listened thru my belly button & told my mum it's 喜脉!! It's a funny dream but at least made me feel happy lo! Lol!!!! Dunno lei, this cycle really busy till no time think of bfp but ended up having such a funny dream... how weird our brain works!

Thanks Piggling
even if no BFP , I'll take it as making my body healthier and stronger.. In this way , at least I won't feel too sad it is amazing how our bodies work. Just this morning I tested using Clearblue and using FMU.. Empty circle. OPK also shows fainter line than control. Then this evening I tested using OPK and saw darker lines , almost that of control .. At first didn't wanna use clearblue cos the instruction says to use FMU for clearblue but I thought since I wanna confirm , might as well use clearblue and though not FMU , to see if can detect anything .. I was expecting an empty circle but am surprised to see a smiley face. After that the EWCM becomes even more obvious and stretchy .. Yesterday I already detected EWCM and was feeling wet down there but today the EWCM is even more obvious . So I think clearblue also can detect LH surge regardless of whether it is FMU or not.. Last cycle I also use evening urine to test and still get a smiley face .. So I think not necessary need to be FMU but of course FMU will be more concentrated and more accurate bah.
You too Jia you okie
hope you get BFP soon!yar i also dunno! but seems like it's quite common leh
lol v funny dream!!!! happy dreams are good ^_^

Wonder is it because when we ladies TTC, tend to stress ourselves which resulted in longer cycles. I really wish to unwind myself about TTCing. Today my colleague asked me if I got work hard or not, feel a bit sianz. Though I just started but everyone keep ask, v stress. Actually I feel really cant have a kid, though will be sad but so be it. But people like that ask, no matter wat will feel empty n 不是滋味

You may want to have clearblue ovulation test kit to test alongside with OPK.. If you see rather dark test line and you want some confirmation whether you really did detect LH surge, that is when clearblue ovulation test kit comes in handy.. It helps me to confirm. Actually when I used OPK on cd10, there was no line at all at the test line area. From cd 10 to today (cd13), I see how the test line gradually grew darker till this evening when test line becomes as dark as control line, then prompted me to use clearblue to confirm. This morning I didn't wanna use clearblue actually cos OPK test line still a bit faint but becos I was wet yesterday late afternoon and thought I didn't wanna miss the LH surge , so I rather use clearblue to confirm. But this morning is still empty circle, no smiley face. I usually test twice in a day to catch the LH surge cos I dunno how long or short the LH surge will be .. I find using OPK and clearblue to detect LH surge is very useful.. Plus my bbt to confirm if I have actually ovulated
you may wanna try testing twice a day maybe tmr morning you test again .. Or u wanna post the pic of your OPK here , we help u see see look look the one taken at 4ish and 7ish onesI have the same feeling. there is a few awkward occasions with my colleagues too. They know i am trying so offer tips about bd. Was telling me i have to remind my hb to bd the right moment and create the mood and seduce him. i feel so embarrassed talking about this in office. Although not out loud but still it is not appropriate ma.

Thanks angel mummy. This is my OPK, I am not sure if this is clear enough. Top one is at 4+pm n bottom at 7+pm. Yesterday about 4+pm was more similar to today's but just very slightly lighter. Today's 7+pm is very faint. I didnt buy clearblue as I thought save abit of money first. Hehe.
Actually I think both are negatives, just that fon't know why the colours differ so much.

I'm not any expert .. Disclaimer first .. Heheh.. But the top OPK is certainly darker than the bottom one but the top one still a little fainter than the control line. Or maybe the original OPK is clearer and this pic not so clear? Yesterday how many times did u test using OPK? Once at 4ish? You are now at which CD? Cos if you start tracking earlier say around CD10 and consistently twice daily
, you can see a trend but it is good that the top OPK has quite dark line too.. Hopefully you can get test line as dark as control line and strike strike strike !Totally agreed. i always say let nature take its course. If no mood then dont push. Sometime feel scare talking about this topic. More advices will throw in and as if like i having big problem and i need people to brainstorm idea for me.
but i can only smile politely.

Ya, the top one still fainter than control line. Just wonder why suddenly the one at bottom so much fainter. Me at CD 15, thats y a bit nervous. Lol! I hope I can soon see the line as dark as control. Think will try to test twice daily starting from today. Yesterday I only tested once, today twice. Haha, tell myself don't think so much. 平常心，平常心。

Haiz... Sometimes wish they can forget about us and stop asking. Married doesn't mean must have kids immediately. Haha. Although come to think of it, I also got try to recommend a colleague about TSB before as I know she trying for sometimes and I just trying to help since I also tccing. Hope that did not add stress to her. Haiz.

Yes, 平常心
。 I understand how you feel .. Before I got my smiley face , I also worry I'll get my LH surge late cos I used to have shorter luteal phase and yet cycle is always about 28 days.. So if ovulate late and cycle still 28 days, means my luteal phase will be short . But don't worry, let us relax and smile more and it will definitely help in conceiving Jia you , Piggling!

Ya jia you. My dad keep seeing my go hospital he thought I going for ivf. He ask why so many blood test etc. He very concern. He told me although my bro not married no kids nvm. He says I nearly died by having kids due to my ectopic last year. He says no kids nvm. Now many couples don't want kids. He tell me no need stress no kids can spend money go holiday buy the bags I like. Think he very worried I go through disappointment after disappointment. I actually quite touched he rather has no grandchild and don't want to see me die or just xin ku trying. For my dad to talk to me abt such personal issues I feel very bad not telling them I'm pregnant now.
But they know I stubborn one die die want means want unless really cannot. He also worried if I go ivf and not successful I won't be able to take the failure. Plus he says wah need a lot of injections etc.
So I guess it's true if really don't have then me and hub also discussed before we will just leave it and enjoy our lives. Just indulge. But if have then it will be a blessing.
Jia you ladies. Maybe when tryin must have a bit of give up hope. Then may strike

Jus now was brewing TSB's medicine using the electric pot.. My hubby walked into the kitchen and was smelling the Chinese medicine aroma , turned to me and said," maybe you can ask TSB to prescribe medicine for me too." I brightened up and said," let's visit her together so she will know what medicine to prescribe for you." But he said very hard to get a common slot cos April is his peak period , very busy .. He asked if can take medicine without seeing TSB .. I said of course can't cos she need to feel your pulse all these leh.. Anyway , I'll not give up.. Hopefully hubby can go and see TSB together with me ..
Jus now before I brew the Chinese medicine, I was pouring out and rinsing the Chinese herbs. My mil was cooking in the kitchen , saw the herbs and told me and hubby this herb and that herb is very good.. Etc., think she has a bit of knowledge of some herbs.. She ended by saying all those herbs in my pack prescribed by TSB are very good stuff and encouraged me to continue to take them to tiao my body.. Hahah..
Anyway, I jus drank a cup of her medicine .. Going to sleep soon.. Feel the body with its warming effect.. Quite nice to sleep with this warm feeling

I agree hopeful mum.. This many months of taking a break of TTC has given me time to straighten out some of my thoughts.. I can honestly say that I'm
Not holding on to a BFP so tightly as compared to last year.. I learn to be thankful for what I'm already blessed with and cherish what are before my eyes
if God thinks it is good for me to have a baby at this season of my life now, I'mSure He will not withhold it from me
So smile! All TTC comrades here with me.. Let us embrace what is before our eyes and cherish them with all our heart

Piggling, 你可以的！ 要加油！
I m not seeing any now, i give myself some time to try naturally as I also don't want to force things. If I really cannot, I think I will let go. I scare if try too hard, will ruin marriage. Ultimately, I still love my husband the most. If he happy with only me, then I am happy.
but if I can give him a heir, then I will be happy too.Actually my in laws n parents never ask me nor pressure us. Relatives also v little, only my side. My hubby side very modern thinking. That I am grateful. Sometimes is colleagues give stress. :s
yar i agree with the latter statement... i think sometimes it's the stress from other pple tt makes it worse... if really cannot have kid i will not be able to take the eyes of others... i will migrate

so sweet! nice tt ur hb volunteered!! haiz i sometimes wonder if it is better if everyone know we're ttc-ing or dun let anyone know? let everyone know then they will kpo and ask why not successful if tried for some time already... then if dun let anyone know alot of things cannot do... like now i staying with in laws... cannot brew any medicine, cannot eat special things tt u think are good for ttc... and if they anyhow give you things not recommended for ttc, also must take... bd also must secretively... so xinku... like committing crime liddatJus now was brewing TSB's medicine using the electric pot..

Agree with Qin. I had spotting during my first trimester last time. It was angry red and a lot n it's worse whenever I walk too much, strain in the toilet (sorry tmi) or simply er... No reason. But after bedrest managed to past first trimester. Dr also didn't know why I bled but said even though not supposed to bleed, it's v common and many just managed to have a successful pregnancy. Know it's very worrying and sien. But we support you and hope for the best with you - that the bb will grow strong and healthy with good heartbeat!

Actually I really regret letting my colleagues know that I am trying as sometimes I am not in a trying mood, a bit like on and off. Thus the last thing I want is for them to ask me. Sometimes I just want to find someone to talk about frustrations, like talk about side effects that prenatal vitamins cause but I don't want people to keep asking me how it is.
