hmm... coz from what i understand, the ovulation happen when there's a sharp dip in our ovulation right? but my chart shows me many "W"s in a regular n consistent pattern, no sharp dip at all loh... or maybe i interpret it wrongly?

actually i did that also. hbs and i each bought a set of bb clothes. but we did it because we are christians and we want to exercise our faith that even if we can't see it, we believe that God will give
hbs bought first and i bought like many months later (yeah..my faith not as strong as hbs
), the same month i bought, i got preggie. so if you are christian, and you want to "walk by faith and not by sight" you could exercise your faith and do this!

Hello, good morn gals!
Hi Mich, ya, quite exp. Hopefully no need every month replenish, hehe ... if strike that is ...
Hi Elizabeth and Caitlyn, ya seems like thats the one. Went to Guardian yesterday, the pharmacist say have but her outlet out of stock so gotta try other outlets. Can read up to 2 decimal points. How good! Mine is 35.9 this morning at 645am, then 36.0 at 7am. Hmmm ... dunno which to take as actual reading now. I tink take 35.9 hor? Closest to nite before's rest.
Hi Choco, cheer up. I used to test days in advance too, then each time more and more disappointed. Now, i just learn to imagine AF will come so that if it really somes, not so disappointed. And if didnt come, then it will be a earth breaking surprise!
Hi Dolp4, ya hor? Aiyo like that very hard leh, i dont kno fish well, guess like what you say, eat in moderation the safest. Or eat vege and fruits, safest! Ya, i still hasnt got more info readily about milk ... hmm ... thot it supposed to be helpful but now cannot drink, my fav somemore. So hard to restrain.
Hi Kermit, how nice to feel the little one inside you! Congrats!
Hi Posh, temp not going beyond 36.3 is symptom of PCOS?

posh - my hubby very funny, said he wants to take his BBT as well! coz initially he not sure why im taking tt... then later i told him tt it's to check whether i ovulate, do u still wana take ur reading every morning? haa! posh, mind i ask how long have u been trying?
Hi Kermit,
Good point you raised, about walking by faith and not by sight! I am a christian too and ashamed to say, i havent been able to practise that. There are times when i prayed but doubt at the same time too as i thot maybe i am not deserving so God wont give me.
Then i heard from my church senior that when you pray, you gotta to believe and claim it by faith then God will deliver.
So now i just believe God will grant me but the thing is when? I sure hope God grants me one sooon ...
Now i also dont buy clothes or shoes already, if wanna buy, i choose dresses only, hoping can fit into them soon!

To them, its just to provide that oomph! But to us, so many things, BBT ... vitamins ... CM ... OPK ... lubricants ... even positions and that upturned turtle stunt tat we do after BD ... They jus dont get it that its so delicately tedious and important, hehe ...
Now even my HB go surf gals forum trying hard to understand ... haha

Hi Zenia
Try to cheer up, have something that you really like to eat for lunch or dinner today? Anyway, AF havent report rite? Can wait awhile more first...
I was like you 6 days ago, when i realised its not materialising again this time. It was a agony and a big disappointment. I almost didnt want to go home face HB. I felt like my heart sank till the floor.
But learn to take heart that maybe next try can strike leh? Now, just try to recover fast from all that blood lost to AF and eat well so that next cycle wont be affected.
Hehe ... and also come here learn from the rest ... have gotten quite alot of useful info. Thanks gals!!!

hi ladies, thanks for being so supportive.. really apprecciate it.
hmmm.. think i have used up all the nescssary tools for this cycle liao.. BBT, OPK, Preseed, toy elephant.. think next is to get a set of BB clothings and get DH to go for semen analysis..
anyway, still keeping my fingers cross for this cycle..
and gals, why is it that we cannot take milk (calcium)? cos I have been taking yogurt and yogurt drink frequently.. wondering whether if its bad to take during the 2WW..

kekeke ... dodo, ur HB realli funni! My HB also see me buy and eat vit, last nite he just said he also want to buy ... hahaha ... but good lah, at least i dun have to convince him.
Actually, i was also told milk no good leh. I read on website, must avoid dairy products, like milk cos got galactose, something that will affect sugar level. But i havent been able to get more info so quite confused now. I also tot milk good for calcium but the web gurus advise take calcium pills better than milk.

Sussus,
BBT never go up means never Ovulate not PCOS, coz if O already, the corpus luteum will produce progesterone which will bring up the body temperature. Normal female may not ovulate once in a while, it is ok. However, PCOS condition means cannot Ovulate on your own or frequently dun ovulate at all.
Dodo,
try since early last year, pregnant in november but M/C in January, so now still trying, heehee!!

Hi sus_sus, since you are a Christian, would like to recommend you read Supernatural Childbirth by Jackie Mize. Can find in most Christian bookshops. This book really helps build faith
The lady who wrote the book was told she could never have children. In the end, she had 4 of them. Such a wonderful testimony.

hi gals, if you are taking BBT. it is better to chart it out, you can use fertilityfriend.com to chart your temp. With the chart,it easier to interprete your cycle.
i have the BBT charting in MS Excal format one, pm me if you are interested.
I am also doing BBT. found it quite useful

juju- how are you too. my menses came on sunday.
morning all.. just an update after meeting dr chua.. according to her, my blood test results are not very good.. it confirms my PCOS condition plus she's quite sure i most prob do not ovulate at all!! she says my estrogen level is ridiculously low for someone my age.. she also feels tt prescribing me fertility pills at this pt in time will not be very useful as she thinks my basic body chemistry (super low progesterone + estrogen) wun be able to sustain the pregnancy resulting in really early loss (chemical preg, i suppose.. her suggestion ws tt i go on e pill (diane 35) for 6 mths coz tt wld hopefully give me an artificial cycle and kickstart my system.. coz e pill has high dosage of estrogen.. sighz.. either tt or try naturally for another 6 mths then see her.. but i have very very low chance of gettin preg on my own..
me decided not to take e pill for e moment.. can't bring myself to do tt coz i do wanna conceive and taking e pill seems to be gg back on tt.. am i being silly? or sld i take e pill and hopefully it really does kickstart my system? 6 mths seem soooo loong..
sus_sus + dolp4: my gynae did mention abt milk.. she encourages me to drink hi calcium, low fat milk.. but she says consumption of milk will depend o individuals.. do not take too much becoz of e sugar levels.. if ur sugar levels are fine and all, then sldn't be a prob! hope this helps.. =)

to those enquiring abt milk, goat's milk is a better substitute for cow's milk bcos it's good for lactose intolerant ppl & more nutrients. it's said that goat's milk is more similar to human milk than cow's milk. this is the webbie for the local goat's milk farm: www.haydairies.com.sg
i've bought the milk from the farm before, i thot it's quite nice. then again, i love goat's milk. some ppl dun like.
try bah
caitlyn,
do ask for Paul Tseng or Eunice Chua. the scan package for 1 cycle is $250, covers all the scans you need to do in 1 cycle. vaginal scan. start frm cd02, then cd10 (depending on ur cycle length), then alt days when O days close in, final scan before O will be the day follicle scanned at 17-18mm, then another scan at 7-8dpo, then 1 more scan if u r suspect to be preggie. u will prob be put on clomid, but u can request dun wan. since ur blood test progesterone level was quite low, u can chk wif gynae whether u shld be put on progesterone pills or not.
next round of replies when i can get online

if i may be kaypo...i think given your age (you are so young) you should really consider dr chua's suggestion of going on the pill. take that six months to kickstart your cycle and really to get fat. i am worried if you really do get preggie but you body is not able to sustain it, the pain and loss would even be greater! but like if according to dr chua, it's very hard to get preggie, and you didn't after that six months, you would have sort of wasted 6 months. just some thoughts. but this decision has to be considered carefully between you and hb and after you have decided, just do it and don't look back!

i see... urs is which dr chua?
i see... urs is which dr chua?
hi caitlyn, my thinking is to try naturally first since if you are still young. If after 6 mths, still cannot preggie, then take the pill.
Hope you mind what i said.
Afterall, I think you and your hubby decision is the most important. I know is not easy. Hugz Hugz
btw, may i noe dr chua is from which clinic?
Thanks for the effort to ask the gynae regarding the milk.
hi juju, thanks for the info on the milk too.
enjoy ur trip!
can check w u eunice chua @ CARE is good huh?
