caitlyn,
not all polyclinics will sell
choco,
preseed is proclaimed as a sperm-friendly lubricant. lubricant like ky jelly is said to kill sperms.

Hi Yen,
I do encounter what you mentioned..longer cycles... longest about 50 days.... think stress related..
Did laparoscopy in May and period came prompty (30 days) then June became 38 days...
Haiz, now experiencing all the symptoms of PMS...
Of coz in the midst of TTCing will get sian seeing red each month... but must learn to see hope...
Maybe you can do a test to check if preggie?

hi Y,
So there's grapefruit from Minute Maid... that's great... I love minute maid... taste better than Florida and Cere...
hi Sus_sus,
EPO shall only be taken from day of menstruation to ovulation, 'cos EPO may cause uterine contraction. You can take flax seed oil in place of Evening Primrose Oil after ovulation takes place.
Hope the info helps...

i tell myself not to buy test kit at this moment... wasted so much $$ on it liao... think will wait longer before i test it... the longest delay i every encountered is 52 days (in the month of my wedding) .. so guess will only test if my AF din come for more than that. Otherwise, will be disappointed again..
u are rite.. must learn to c hope.. even my DH is more positive than me...

Hello!
Zenia, Caitlyn, Juju, thanks!! Ok i go check out those places for Preseed. Heard it work wonders.
Puppy, thanks!! I was wondering when to stop. Now i know. OK, will also get some flax seeds and folic acid to start after O in place of EPO.
Mich, ya, i very stressed out over this ttc thing, in fact this month most disppointed and stress till my body break down and fall sick thats why mixed the sickness with preggy symptoms. I even quarrelled with HB over it and tell him i dun want to try anymore. But deep down, we all know lah, cannot give up so easily. So now i helping myself with health supplements, thats the only thing i can do anyway. And oh ya, keep stress level low, so i told HB, next few months, try to eat out on non fanily dinner days, just to go back to dating days and relax abit. I also now dont want to hope so much already, just try and every month see got red or not. Dont hope then dont get so disappointed hor? By end of year, if still like that, then i go take tests. Haiz ... meanwhile, thank goodness there is this forum and all these nice gals to share and learn from. Hugsss to all!
Phy, ya lor, my womb is tilted backwards. Gyn say its ok, Stella also say its ok, but he also added, if got persistently got probs conceiving then better check. Haiz ... so now, just wait lor and research on techniques hehe.

sus sus... i am previously in this thread too.
R.U does not affect conceiving..i was diagonised with it when i went to my first ultrasound of the pelvis. i dunno wat position helped me to conceive (or is it some weird position when me and hb are having fun..keke) but the key word is to relax. In the month when i conceived, i did not even take bbt or used preseed.
things come when they are least expected!!

Hi Y, I also resolved not to buy another pregnancy test stick till AF is very very late coz last month alone buy 3 already and its total $21! I think I should have spent it on a good meal instead. Anyway, I am getting some from a BP from the market place, very cheap $0.65 each so wasted also not so heart pain. My dh is also more positive than me... ha ha... maybe men can "kan de kai"?
Sus_sus, agree, don't hope then won't be so disappointed. I keep telling myself got then good, don't have, never mind lor. I have to tell myself AF sure coming, then if really preggy, can be surprised and delighted...

hi puppy2006,
just went to ntuc.. realised that the new pdt from minute maid is not grapefruit one.. it's pomelo and mandarin orange... sorry for giving u false hope..
hi mich,
guess i made the right choice in not getting a test kit early... my AF reported today.. very sad coz thought i will strike this month. people have been asking me whether there's something wrong with me coz I'm still not pregnant after nearly one yr of marriage.. all my friends around me got pregnant within 3 months of marriage, except me.. sob sob...
guess we are lucky to have comforting dh around us.. but no matter how much they comfort us, I think it's not easy for us to get over the disappointment...

Yen,
most of us go through all these roller coaster rides of hoping, hope crushed, hope rekindled, hope crushed again...
Important thing is to go on hoping, if not will sure sink deeper into loss and grief...
Keep on trying, if still unsure, go seek gynae's medical opinion..

dolp,
ya, stress can cause delay in AF...also realise colour and duration also seem to change as I age... don't know if it is common..
but right after laparascopy in May, period was very heavy and very red (sorry for gory details)...
Just wondering if that also affect chance in conceiving..

hi happyger,
yet to see her after the lap... so yet to tell her about my period.. What I meant in my previous post is that b4 lap my periods were kind of short and light flow so wonder if that also affect chances of conceiving...
Anyway, I had always suffered from cramps...was so bad in my teens that I fainted a couple of times..
But now better, sometimes no cramps at all! In fact, could still carry on day activities..
So how abt you? What are Dr. Chua advice for you? If want to just pm me so we can chat... quite a few gers here are with Dr. Chua

thanks, Dolp and Phy. I guess some people just dun understand how we feel.. in fact, one of my colleagues said that it's so easy to conceive. My heart crashed when I heard that.. felt very sad after that... My sis has been asking em to consult the sinseh at JE.. but after reading the posts on the sinseh, I dun feel like going to her. Now looking around for some other sinseh..
right now, guess i will just keep trying ..

hi yen, for those who really got it the first try maybe really difficult for them to understand our feeling...there was one time i was chatting w a colleague then suddenly he asked me 'u dun intend to hv kid?' i replied to him saying 'did i tell u i dun wan?'. with dat he stopped the conversation...veri fustrated w all these ppl...

Hi dolp4, ya lor, people who make stupied comments very annoying.
Yen, there is nothing wrong with you, just tell these annoying people that you are enjoying couplehood with hubby. Those who get preggy within first few months never have time to even enjoy married life so look on positive side.
Nowadays I have stopped asking people if they are planning to have babies. A very good friend of mine ttc for 5 yrs through many rounds of IUI and IVF before suceeding and she deal with many of these questions. So I know better than to ask people liao unless they volunteer to talk to abt it...

Dear girls,
yesterday I chance upon this great book on TTC titled "The Conception Chronicles" and I would like to share them with you all. I have since read the first 5 chapters of the book and I must say that it is really like a God-sent to me. It's about this 3 friends' TTC journey and the things that they have experienced in the process. After reading the book, I am so relieved to know that I am not alone in my emotional and mental struggles of TTC. I could relate to almost 100% of all that's being said in the chapters and I know it's perfectly normal to been thru' all the emotional ups and downs.
I wasn't even looking at buying any book on TTC but this just caught my eyes when I was at the bookstore. Am so glad that I bought it.

yes, nausea & diarrhoea caused by metformin result in loss of appetite = loss of weight. u cannot take
clomid gave me nausea, cramps, giddiness & hot flushes. but not everyone gets it.
