A place for the TTCs.. (Trying To Conceive)
- Thread starter linda
- Start date
Kat, depends on wat u want. If u want the gynae to help u calculate ur ovulation, answer a lot of ur questions... then i think not so suitable. KKH is good in my opinion if u conceive easily & just want a good doc lor. KKH is more reactive than proactive lah... they gave me clomid & andriol for my hub. But they only ask me to re-do the progesteron blood test (to see if I O properly) only aft 2nd cycle. My gynae at KKH try to help us "save" money, if procedures tat are not v necessary, he usu ask us not to do. so, u have to be patient lor
For me, I'll see a gynae at TMC to confirm whether i shd really start on clomid lor... maybe do V scan to see my egg folicle & confirm no cysts and tat everything is ok!

Hi gals,
Anybody has the same problem as me.. My AF cycle is 30 days... and I started using the opk on CD13...CD 13,14 all shows only one line..... then on CD 15 and 16 got 2 lines.. but the test band is lighter than the control band... so means negative rite? Then on CD 17 I tested.. no more lines.... Does it mean I never ovulate? Anyone can help? So tired....

you only test once a day? and did you test at the same time everyday?
the recommendation is actually to test opk twice a day. your LH surge is probably somewhere between CD 15 and CD16 and you probably O-ed on CD16 or CD17...just that it was not picked up by the opk.

maybe your surge was at 2am at night? so by 7pm..cannot detect surge already...this opk thingy..sometimes very hard to use also...
so you should use it in combination with EWCM and bbt. but when you saw the two lines, even tho it is faint, you should be alert already...because it means maybe surge is coming soon (as the previous 2 days no lines at all) then maybe you should increase to testing twice a day already.
once a surge is detected, you are expected to O in 24 to 48 hrs time.

kermit, have to test twice a day one ah?? I usu only test once a day... usu in the evening also!
piggy, yup... best to combine with BBT & observing ur CM. if u start to have the "wet" feeling on ur undies near O, can start to BD liao!!!
Different OPK respond differently. Mine, even light line also consider as +ve. I know some light line considered -ve. Check the website or wherever u bought from ya!!

http://www.tropikalspa.com/index_files/Tour__Services.htm The $165 includes transfer from the ferry terminal at bintan? If not, how to get to the spa? Also, the price is per pax or per room??

i bought my opk from babywishes...and i read the instructions, they recommended testing twice a day i think. but maybe only when see faint lines, then can start doing that, or else...WHOA! many opks leh! hehe!
stella
US of pelvics? i think to check for fibroids. but i think v-scan would be more accurate to check for cysts, and esp for egg follicles...

BD on CD18...doesn't mean no hope at all also lah..cos if you O on CD17, eggie can live for 24 hrs one...
anyway, what my TCM doc said is..after getting a +ve on opk, BD 12hr, 24hrs and 48hrs later...hehehe

caitlyn, the one which i told sharon earlier had a 3D2N promotion and finish on 30 Apr. It's harris resort (hotel) at batam waterfront city. No need to spend so much $$$ can have a 3D2N holiday with a giant pool and beach. Both you and your DH juz need to pay $65+10 = $75 per pax for the room and extention breakfast. Included also the 1 way transport to batam center for shopping. One thing bad is that my friend said the breakfast very pathetic but if u dun mind juz for relaxing purposes (pool, beach, spa...), it's very worth it.
For other resorts, i think you gotta pay more than a hundred per pax to go for juz 2D1N.
PM me if you want the details of the holiday website.

char,
my advice to u is to stop TTC or clomid wen u r renovating hse cos its aready very stressful to reno so the body cannot perform or react well to clomid...
tat's my personal experience... cos i took clomid during my stressful time of hse reno, moving n tried IUI.. its no wonder that it fails cos life was too stressful then...

jade, u not actively TTC-ing... but u still continue wif clomid? *confused* But clomid is supposed to regulate cycle to 28 days.
Dr Ann Tan fr Mt E... she like v well known gynae, in fertility as well? she's like sitting on a no. of medical committee. Not sure if she's good personally...
Kermit, the gynae at Gleneagles Dr Fong q famous one rite... but u later switched to TMC. not suitable match?

supposed to BD 24 to 48 hrs after LH surge mah. that's when O happens. esp for those with not so good spermies, they can't last long inside one. so they can't hang around and wait for O to happen...must let them chiong up and quickly fertilise the eggie..hehe
yeah that Dr Fong at gleneagles quite famous one. went there because he tied up with my TCM doc mah. but don't really like him cos first he man, secondly he quite old liao lah..hehehe...but i prefer lady gynae lah..

louie, saw Dr Ann Tan always answer to O&G queries on parenthood magazines, her face quite sweet looking. U really cute regarding the grad to "member" instead of junior member! me still junior member, hmmm..
kermit, louie, my gynae is also also fm KKH.
kermit I guess your male gynae is trying to feel whether you got sore breasts or not is it? Some nurse juz ask us to loosen our bra before doing v-scan. My gynae do pap-s for me also got do examination on the breasts. Just relax lor since the female nurse is around.
So far here only Fizz and kermit grad? Are we expecting paperplane to grad? Didn;t manage to follow up with yuki's table..
paging for blueblue, how is your OPK result? Did it turns +ve last night?

well..share wif u all my personal experience ...
i took 6 mths of clomid in 2005 which incl 2 rounds of IUI but all failed.. so decided to take a break cos really really very stressful...
my mum passed away last yr then super busy to reno n move hse n at teh same time TTC wif IUI.. so i came to a conclusion that the stress + clomid + hormonal jab are taking a toll on my system...
tat's the reason y i wan to slow down.. 2005 has been a yr wif alot of up n downs for me... too much stress so wan to chill now... esp wif new job.. really jus wan to concentrate on new job n married life wif HB...
TTC has posed a certain level of strain on both of us since BD has become a chore... now tat its over, can see that HB enjoy BD more n he takes initiative to ask wen is my fertile period etc.. which i tol him i wont say so no stress for him jus enjoy.

jadefeet,
thanks for sharing the experience. so sad when you wrote your mum passed away..
I was not on clomid thing.
My father turned very sick and dragging for quite sometimes, in and out of hospital where the doctor cannot diagnose his problem. He went for a major op and that time i already preggy. unfortunately I think i was so stressed preparing my last exam paper and also going to hospital every evening after work, but I had a m/c and had to undergo a D&C. My father was very sad learning that i had a m/c and he refuse to take the chicken essence and leave all for me. Sadly 2 weeks after my D&C, he passed away after another op...It's a very sad and sudden thing just within the 24 hours only we lost our father..
it's very sad my father can't even have a grandchild before he pass away...
