Hi ladies, i was given duphaston to be taken twice a day after my iui on 30/09/15. Today is 14dpiui, my af is not here yet. My bbt dipped on 12dpiui so i assume my af is coming. My usual luteal phase is 12-13 days which mean yesterday or today my af will come. I had a few tiny dots of pink blood when i wiped yesterday early evening after i pee so i'm expecting af to come last night but till now there is nothing. My bbt dipped on 12dpiui but rises on 13dpiui & remained same for this morning. I'm getting my usual pre-af symptoms like leg aching but my leg ache since 6dpiui. I took hpt yesterday with 2nd morning urine but turned out negative. Just wondering will duphaston delay menses & affect bbt? My blood test is on 19oct, e wait is killing me. Thanks!
 
@Lostkitty anglebb is correct. Only when you have full flow, then it's considered as CD1.

Hi Graceakaclouds, the menses is in maroon to red, when i wipe my virinal, there are red stain on it. Just that it wont full flow. Furthermore, I have those slimy sticky thing dangling at my virginal area. It has being that way for the past 4 days which is y im confuse which day should i consider as day 1...
 
my body reaction this time is bothering me too. i have cramps after my bd. but i am sure our body is not so good at feeling what is happening inside, can we?
 
I’m starting another cycle and will be starting to use the advanced fertility monitor this month. Hope that this works as well as the reviews and have good news soon..


Good luck everyone~
 
charnel, thanks for sharing your experience! I must be too pessimistic. I have not thought of the possibility of low FSH levels to be detected in our urine. Maybe the ovulation test kit plays a part too. Must invest in more sensitive ones? Hopefully it's year end soon and everyone can be stress free at work or at home and hit +VE very soon!!

haha, I invested on clearblue ovulation kit this cycle to prove myself wrong and i got two lines upon seeing ecwm! I was previously using the guardian brand(cos its cheaper) and didnt work. ya! lotsa baby dust to u!

I was using the guardian brand too!! Another possibility is I tested too late & miss it. I m 28 days cycle & I only test from day 12...think have to test earlier. Charnel, do share good news when convenient & spread the bb dust here k? Gonna be wkend soon!! Yoohoo

hey gal

If you are on cycle 28, you have to test real early like day 10 onwards, my cycle is abt 33 days ..so i always test day 15 onwards. but anyway i dont bother to test until i see ecwm. lol i used to be quite ON to test everyday till I see ecwm but I gave up..getting lazy.
guess what, my husband SA results came back and his morphology is only 1 percent. :( went to see specialist and asked to quit smoking. doc says tats the reason why I cant conceive even my side is ok. luckily the count and everything else is perfectly fine. Im gg to see Dr Sadhana at KKH tmr for IUI consultation! haha nvr tot i will come to this stage but since IUI has this sperm wash procedure, I will be glad to get his sperm washed hahaha!

Baby dust to you ok! and keep us updated of your good news! ya its Friyay!
 
i would have to guess i need to say congrats to u!
by natural?

Haha, sad to say I decide to opt for IUI. coz my husband SA results came back with morphology 1 percent but luckily everything else is fine:( he has quit smoking now but I think gg IUI is one option since they have this sperm wash procedure. hehe :)

keep each other updated!

my hubby's SA was also the same before conceiving my boy now.
so no worries.
there is no bad news for guys because their sperms can always reproduce.
 
Hi all

I have a 5 yr old child and have been trying for 2nd one. Saw TCM but I haven't seen any progress. Next month I will be going to KK to consult a doc as I am TTC-ing. What should I request for? an ultrasound scan to check?
 
Charnel, thks for yr advise. Next cycle I m going to test really early. May I know how to request for IUI with kkh? Previously my hb was like yours poor morphology & testspermoozia problem. & my gynae advise him to take GNC Megamen & I also make cordyceps soup for him to drink. My hb morphology percent did improve slightly. My boy is now 5yrs old. Jiayou & good luck for yr IUI!!
 
Hihi wateraine, you will go through all the bloodtest & receive results & doctor will actually go through with u. For ultrasound, dr usually will check for cycts or not. I am in the same situation like u. Most of my boy's classmates siblings are already studying in the playgroup class in the same school. I have seen TCM, tried several times IUI but in vain. Really dont know what to do next...
 
4 yes. How abt u?

then u r right. good to go fertility clinic. i just started trying for number 2. now in my 2ww.

actually there is no specific tests to start with for fertility clinics. just straight away go to the consultant and say that u have been trying but no news.

"At this initial consultation with the specialist, he will establish with you and your husband what the best form of treatment is. He may also conduct blood and hormone tests to try to find out why you are not getting pregnant. A semen analysis test will be ordered for your husband. Once results of tests are reviewed and discussed, and if you are referred to the KKIVF Centre for fertility treatment, you and your husband will be briefed by our nurse coordinator.

This is your opportunity to get as much information as you need before making a decision about treatment. At this briefing, the proposed treatment programme will be explained to you, including the side effects and costs - how much will be Medisave claimable, the government co-funding scheme (if eligible) and how much will be the out-of-pocket-expenses."
 
Hi all, I will be returning red eggs to Toa Payoh Shuang Lin Shi Temple today around 2.30pm to 3pm. Baby dusts to all of you. :)

I had seen Eu Yan Sang and now taking tcm fm Yu Guo for 2 months. It has never been so tedious though it took me 5 yrs to have my first one. The calculation of BBT by tcm doc is so detailed and my first gynae had never calculated avg temp. So many terms and I feel like I am starting over again. Feel like stopping the tcm this month. What's IUI?

I am a Christian and due to religion, I can't go for ivf.

Thank you for the info. It's my first time to KKH fertility clinic and I hope the tests Wld be ok when I see them next mth. Friends around me seem to be popping no. 2 easily.
 
Hi I'm also ttcing ... Last period 20 Sep hope my AF not here this month Did ovulation test positive on 4 sep (BD only one time on 3rd Sep) slim chance I guess... (Took 2 clomid a day for 5 days starting from 2nd day of period as of doc instruction) not sure if it works .. Keeping my fingers crossed

if u r worried, u can ask them what sort of test would they start with first and is it like poking of needles, drawing of blood, or would it be invasive? etc.
 
Hi

Why Christian can't go for Ivf?

I'm Christian too. I went for Ivf too.
FYI, now pregnant with twins via Ivf.
It's through the Lord's blessing that I can get pregnant.

i guess she should say like she is a devout christian and abiding by the natures of God.

but i believe, seeing specialist to check if you have any issues is already defying it, whether we eventually take ivf or not.

this is my believe. btw, i am also a christian.

I believe that it's not about what we do or not do. It's not in our hands. If God thinks it's not the right time for us yet, no matter what we do, see how many renowned doc, do how many times IVF, we won't be able to conceive. But if God thinks it's the right time, we can conceive in any circumstances. We should have a relationship with God in whatever we decide to do.

I'm also a Christian and been through few failed IVF transfers but I believe that by His stripes, I will eventually be blessed with a child be it via IVF or not.

ok. and if you at 2ww, then if there is no spotting (cos the nurse told me to call them immediately if there is any spotting regardless of what color), there is no cause for you to be worry.
 
Have u ever thought of enhancing the environment of your house to increase your fertility? I would like to share my story regarding this topic.
After the failure trying to conceive for almost 2 yrs since the age of 33, i went to kk hospital to have a check up on my fertility. I was diagnosed that I have one tube blocked and there was no egg in my menses. So, confirmed that the infertility was my problem and my hubby was absolutely fertile. Doctor suggested we opt for ivf after 2months.
During the 'waiting period' I did lots of research about ivf. I understood that the success rate in my age maybe around 40-50%. But surely we still would like to give it a try. I was so stressed and never disclosed my infertility to any friends and relatives. During the waiting period, I read an article regarding the 'Environment and Fertility'. I invited a friend who is professional in the industry to audit the place we stayed as we wanted to enhance the success possibility of ivf desperately. He had a client went for ivf and failed for 5 times. With the adjustment of the client's place, the 6th ivf was finally success and the twins were delivered. After the audit of my place, i was really shocked and understood why we had difficulty in getting pregnant. Long story short, we adjusted those problematic sectors and miracle arrived. I got pregnant naturally within a month after we adjusted the environment of our place. The power and energy of environment are really having big impact on our life.
Hi,

How much it cost you to engage the professional to adjust the problematic area? I am keen to know but need someone who is trustworthy.
 
the eagerness to test is so strong. but i will be waiting till the day i miss my period, like what i did when i got my boy.

only thing is that time i waited for 1 week i miss my period.

this time i think i will just wait for a few days pass my period.
 

having brown discharge. hope this is not bad news.

Good luck. Hope this is the month for many of us who are TTC-ing!

It is SO difficult to stop reading into every little change - obsessive symptom spotting. I hate myself for doing it, but I cannot control. :p I started recording my bbt and testing opk (using internet cheapies) from the middle of my previous cycle and glad that I did that as I noted that my O-days (last cycle and this cycle) turned up few days earlier than that predicted by womanlog. Well probably, I am not one the many with 14 days luteal phase. Just earlier this month, the sua-ku me was absolutely awestruck by the wonders of human body when my bbt dropped drastically before my AF arrived the next day. I consoled myself at least it helped me to understand my body a little better.

I am in my TWW - 10dpo today. Hope I can stay sane for the next few days. :D

Once again, good luck to all TTC-ing! ;)
