Joy,
Should be ok bah, its CM equivalent and we produce CM everyday so shd be ok to use 2 days in a row? Thats what i did also.
But how to know whether how much is needed? Sometimes i stand up and nothing drip out. I went to BD then alot came out with spermie as well, dunno issit preseed overdose and flush out spermie instead.
How you gauge how much is really needed? Dun empty the whole tube?

i agree with mum wannabe... i had taken few cycle of clomid before and there was side effect on me
Some how i realise the best way to get ourselves conceive is to have healthy and strong body.Since tcm can help to tiao bu our body internally to produce and balance back our hormone to normal. why not?
Of course that required determination and patient since it does not give immediate effect.

hi all
today AF reported as expected...
last cycle was CD38. if i O in CD 23, that would be 15 days later then I have my menses again.which i guess should be quite normal, right??
will try again this month. but i think the BBT really help me a lot. at least i know when to prepare myself

Hi Joy,
I find it very hard to gauge and stop at 3/4 cos the tube inside, cant see. Can only base on gut feel, to stop after pumping the applicator a few times. So i think i may still have overdosed.
BTW, u apply squatting or lying down? I can only do so discreetly in toilet as dun want HB to get turn off. That means only squatting or standing, cannot lie down to apply.
I try to BD every other day of if can, everyday once OPK test +ive.

Hi Lorain
The TCM that I'm taking was divided into 2 kind.. 1 to help wif conception.. the other one to help to clear off blood during menses... the 1st kind is taken 1 week before and after O... the 2nd kind is taken once my AF starts...
I've not taken any jab to control endo... think it may be why my cysts came back again... but once u r taking jab means u won't get preggy, rite? As wat I understand, u won't even hv AF leh... how come u still can calculate yr cycle? wat kinda jab is this?
O calculation is to minus 14 (avg) from 33/34... if u taking yr BBT or OPK... shld be able to guage if u 14 days ... some may be shorter or longer by 1-2 days...
Light spotting after menses or after O? Light spotting after menses is very common... for mi, after the actual flow.. will be the brown discharge... then come something more caramel colour... then nothing... then CM starts...
But if it's after O, it may be implantation spotting...

Hi all, i has been on Clomid and it is my 1st cycle now. And when i used the OPK to test it shown +ve on yesterday nite.
But then after 4 hours later, around 12am, it shown -ve. So does it mean i ovulate already? I tested 3 times within 1 hr to confirm it is +ve.
BTW is anyone of u experience extremely tiring feeling after took the Clomid? I find that i am very tired after consumed it. Pls enlighten me, TIA!!

hello all - men & women,
i've started a support group for couples facing fertility difficulties and have gotten a few medical professionals to support my thread, ie, when any of you post medical questions, they can answer where appropriate. after 5 yrs of suffering, mostly in silence, i think a support group structured to help us cope with the realities, would be good for all.... well, coping with the technical bits are impt, ie, who to see, how much to pay, etc, but we have to look after our emotions as well since it does affect our overall wellbeing....
well, the thread is: http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/5/505416.html?1157309502
hope to see some postings soon!

Hi caitlyn,
Yeah, this thread has been pretty quiet...
Okay, let me start the ball rolling... Even though I had 5 eggs last cycle, still failed. So, I am proceeding to do IUI this cycle. I have one matured egg today (CD11) - 20mm. So, will do IUI tomorrow. Although only one egg this cycle, I still remain hopeful. Well, we just need one good egg to be fertilised, isn't it? Wish me luck!
Any upates from you?

caitlyn,
Who knows, probably you strike this cycle leh. Then don't even need to take clomid.
yuki,
Are you following up with any gynae? What did he/she say about your BBT? Anyway, I believe nothing is absolute. BBT, OPK, Egg monitoring, etc, all these are tools to help us. Whatever it is, still must do 'homework' (BD).. ning ke sha cuo bu ke fang guo..

Hi Alien,
I had the same frustration when I was planning my holidays last year. Only confirmed at the last possible date just to wait for the verdict of that cycle. Hehe..
Do you have to confirm your holidays now? If not, you can keep on trying. Don't go if you strike. Else you can go for the trip and have fun and relax.
But of course it depends what your priority is. And if the trip is important or not.
For me this time round leh, my tickets for my Oct holidays are already issued and I am doing IUI this cycle. I guess I will decide when the verdict is out. Hehe.. At most I sacrifice the tickets. My priority is TTC now.

Caitlyn,
I did blood test at DPO19, was -ve also, but forgot to ask what's the level.
Yuki,
I tried 1st urine too yesterday morning & I used clearblue digital which can detect 50ius above. result is NOT PREGGIE leh, so dun dare to hope!!! Now only waiting for AF to report. Can check with you, the other time when you realised you have a cyst in the ovary, did it create havoc to your cycle or AF??

Hi Caitlyn
One of the symptoms for Hypothyroidism is low BBT... my range from 35.9 to 36.3... which the normal before O shld be at least 36.44... that's y, i'm scare lor...
Yr BBT is consistently 36.5 to 36.6 all the way or are there any ups and downs?
Hi Posh
Nope... the cysts didn't hv any effect on my AF except the 3 to 5 days spotting before the AF starts... dun think it's cysts lah... maybe juz stress causing the delays lor... but as wat i ve read... the delay is normally before O... but yr luteal phase shld be more or less the same leh... if yrs is longer than 16 days most of the time... then maybe something is not right... perhaps, discuss this wif yr gynae but if it's only once... maybe juz some hormone imbalance lor... juz be patience and wait for awhile...

Hi posh
Since it's the 1st time... maybe juz some hormones haywire lah... relax and wait patiently for yr AF to report...
As for the BBT... I read in the "taking charge of fertility" that one of the symptoms for hypothyroidism is low bbt... i checked wif my gynae but she said that i dun hv the other symptoms that hypothyroidism is having but to be safe... it's better to take a blood test to confirm lor... so, thinking when i'm free maybe will go to her to take a blood test to rest my mind lor...

hi whee, the program is abt what u shld do before getting conceive, like eat healthily, exercise, etc. Then the host interviewed some couples like how long they tried before they got preggie and a famous gynae named peter chew was oso there to give advice on some fertility problem. He mentioned even for a healthy couple, the successful rate is only 20 to 30%. The programme name is called xin4 fu2 mi4 ma3.
