1st of all...CONGRATZZZ to Serene n Blue Blue...gosh...u galz r sooooooooo blessed...hv a smooth 9 mois ahead...
Hi Louie
IMO...I tink tat the best time to BD is the nite b4 yr lowest or O BBT in the morng...the rationale is tat...yr egg may burst in the evenin or at nite...u dunno...by the time u take yr BBT in the morng...n realise tat it is a low BBT...the egg may b on its way down the fallopian tube oredi...by BD-ing the nite b4...u r oso gifin both the egg n sperm time to travel n meet each other...tatz wat my gynae explained to me (the part in bold)...the setbac is tat...we cant predict the time which our lowest BBT wil occur...
Hi Galz
My hb took his SA tis wk...yeah...his morphorlogy has improved well...n it is now oni short of 3% pts to reach norm level...so we wil cont wif his med...n not turn to TCM...we wil cont to jia you...
To all of u who hv TTC for a while...my advice to u is...not oni check on yrself...but on yr hb too...TTC is not oni a woman's tink...the man play a 50% role too...
In any case...I tink my aunt may b home soon...I hv all the AF symptoms liao...my AF symptom is actually the diminishin of all AF/preg symptoms...my nipple doesnt hurt anymore...my bb is soft again...
Hi Hayashi
I wonder the cherry ang mo kio works...I fed him wif amg mo kio for 3 consecutive nites b4 the test...til he was so sic of them...but I wil cont wif my ang mo kio strategy...
Hi Msn
I wil b cin the Dr again on CD16...but I do experience O-in on CD16...wonder if it wil b too late...I m hopin tat she wil do IUI for u...Im beginin to lose hope in au natural liao...
To all 2WW Galz
All the best...

gardeline,
sorie.no impression at all,i dun think i went to the fernvale thread also...
First of all if u just start TTC,stay relax,the best is let nature take it's course,so u dun feel stressful.Stress is one of the factor for not being able to conceive.
Next,u can try using BBT,checking ur cervical muscus and using the OPK to montior ur O date,so as to maximise the chances of conceiving.
Are some sexual positions better than others for conception?
the "missionary position" (man on top) is one of the best ways to make babies because it allows the deepest penetration and so places sperm right next to the opening of your womb. Another position that may improve your chances (in case you get bored!) is entry from behind, either lying down or with the woman on all fours this will also deposit sperm right next to your cervix.
What are the worst sexual positions for conception?
Some experts recommend you avoid having sex while sitting, standing or with the woman on top. These positions defy gravity and may make it harder for the sperm to swim up towards your fallopian tubes.
Should I stay lying down afterwards?
Some experts also believe that you can boost your chances of conceiving by staying in bed for up to half an hour after having sex, preferably on your back with your hips raised on a pillow. In theory, this gives the sperm a helping hand because they're not having to swim against gravity on their way up to your fallopian tubes. (This obviously isn't a good idea if you're prone to urinary tract infections and have been advised by your doctor to go to the loo immediately after sex.)

Peg, don't be upset! Pray tat we'll all grad together
Yuki, u v cute...u actually document down the combinations!! hee hee
Thanks for sharing ur experiences! Don't think I have reached my highest temp yet, coz' its the 2nd day temp rising (today, 36.58). I tried to input tomorrow's temp (3rd day, eg. 36.63)... then the "cross line" came out & kinda confirmed my suspicion tat I cld have O on CD 14 looking at the temp fall/rises over the last few days...
Ok, my gynae blur blur one. He initially tot my cycle is 28 days, so he ask me to go on CD18 to do blood test. I told him mine was avg 32-34days, then he asked me to go bk later! Confusing!! Guess doesn't matter how many days aft u O, sure can test accurately the Progestrone level?
Sharon, wat did the Progestrone test tell u? Did ze doc explain, whether got O properly. Do u get a % of something or how is the chart interpreted?? Think I'll call up KKH to ask for the results when I do the blood test, then call the nurse to check ze result + my HB's SA results also.

Hi Louie
Coz think the speed of travel for sperm & egg... can't be sure mah... so in term of math... they are already "unknow"... so gotta use all the different probabilities to see when is the best time lor... if always use the same timing... sekali sala... try till die also won't get how...
As for progesterone... my cycle switch from CD 28 to CD 32... no matter which cycle... my gynae always ask me to go back on CD 21... After the blood test, there will be a reading... and from that reading, gynae would be able to tell whether u ovuluate well enough ... the 1st time bf the Clomid, my level was low... so my gynae told me that I did ovulate but not well enough... so ask me to take Clomid... after that, the 2nd blood test shows that my progesterone level increases and the results was very good... according to the gynae... perhaps, when u get yr blood test results that we share our readings lor... heheheh...

Hi Hayashi
U mean the sperm sleeping in the nite? hehhehe... juz joking.. but morning hard to BD for mi.. except weekends... coz my hubby start wk @ 7.30... if BD in morning... gotta wake up @ 6 am... wow... so early... think my egg haven't wake up yet... hahahaha...
Hi Sharon
Progesterone is recognized as a vital female hormone central to successful conception and a healthy pregnancy.
Progesterone is a female sex hormone that is secreted by the corpus luteum to prepare the endometrium for implantation of the fertilized egg. Following implantation, progesterone is then produced by the placenta during pregnancy to prevent rejection of the developing embryo or fetus. Therefore, progesterone plays a significant role in reproduction. Progesterone:
Helps create a fertile environment in the womb and promotes the survival of the fertilized egg through healthy implantation.
Strengthens and maintains the secretory endometrium which sustains the embryo throughout pregnancy.
Prevents the premature shedding of the secretory endometrium (menstruation).
Hi Serene
Hehehehe... I juz sign up for yoga and sign my hubby up for Gym sessions... so... at least once a week... we will be having exercise... hopefully, it's sufficient... coz not interested in jogging @ all..

Hi Fatty
It may be good to BD in the morning as Hayashi mentioned coz spermie is more active but if u do not have the luxury of time... then no point also... if u BD in the morning and get up of bed immediately to prepare for work.. sperm also flow out in the process... then also no use rite... and if too rush...
or haven't wake up... also no mood... in the end become too stressed...
So, if u can, then try to BD in the morning... if not, in the nite would be still okie... I think...
