caitlyn - don't think so much. if you has been getting high temp for more than 14 days.. and no sign of AF flow. the chance of chem preg is low.
Go for blood test to confirm your pregnancy.

hi mangogal,
i think Elken is in Aljunied...
I have been trying since Oct 2002...but due to my irregular menses and my hubby working schedule,its very difficult to catch the timing to BD... All I can say is, it sure takes some effort and a lot of luck in succeeding.....Thanks for all the well wishes....for the gals who are trying...don't give up....If I can make it in 4 yrs,sure all of you will succeed one day....

Hi Caitlyn
I'm okie now... in fact, after taking chinese medications... I think my conditions have improved... the cramp is not as bad as before... hopefully, it will reduce further... but juz sick and tired of my office politics so rather take MC and rest at home...
Dun worry too much... how much has yr BBT dropped? izzit juz 1 day or more? if it continously dipped for a few days... then perhaps, u wanna check wif Dr Chua for more assurance... oops... are u still seeing Dr Chua?
Juz be more careful wif wat u eat... I understand that now cannot eat "bu" yet... gotta wait till 3rd mth onwards, rite? so, juz eat balance diet... dun eat "cooling" stuff like watermelon, cold drinks... dun eat too heaty stuff too... coz may cause constipation which may not be too good now when u r preggy... okie? Go for cooked meal... welll balance of veg and meat... if u can, eat oatmeal in the morning wif fruits... to get a balance diet... ahhaha.... I think I more kan cheong than u leh...

Hi all,
Would like to seek some advices from you gals here. Am trying for bb too, have tried for the past 3 mths but no gd news yet and getting a little worried. In fact, I went to a gynae for a checkup and scan last mth and was told that I'm fine, and if I'm still not pregnant by end of the yr, he would like to test my hubby's sperm.
My period have been regular for the past mths, always on the same date every mth so it was easier for me to know my "O" period. Now, this mth, my period came a couple of days late, so if I wanna predict my "O" period, do I use back the normal cycle days or should I calculate based on the new cycle? Am a little confused, so hopefully someone can enlighten me.
Thanks and I congrat those who juz got preggie! Pls pass some baby dust to those who are trying =)

hi poissons,
U might want to try using the opk strips? i think this is the most accurate way to see when us your O, ...becos sometimes our systems siao siao one, so by the time u realise it, you have wasted another month.....
Hi caitlyn,
me back at work.... luckily , i feel tired more in the night, so i can still go to work....but my collegues observed that my reactions are slowly and i look 'stone'...I have yet to tell them that i m preggy, only my manager knows about it....i m pratically a sleeping machine now... after my dr's appt yesterday, i went home and sleep from 6pm to 9.30pm, woke up and bath and have supper, dan sleep again from 11pm to this morning 7plus...dun noe whether it is good or bad.....

char - me feel terrible at work.. coz i can't sleep through e nite.. woke up at 12, 2, and 430 to pee! gosh.. i wonder if i have bladder problems.. sighz.. thot most gynaes will give mc during early preg.. maybe i was wrong.. sob sob.. i got 3 more weeks to worry.. hopefully no bleeding comes then i'll feel better..

Hi Char5105,
thanks for your prompt reply. yeh, i did use the O test kit from clearblue..last mth when I did the test, realise that O is over!! alamak, so sway! that's why now thought of trying the O calendar method (the online type), at least if i input my cycle days and last period date, I can roughly know the O period and can use the kit to further confirm it. Hee..yah..I know...kiasu..but I really to hope to be Mummy soon!
Anyway, congrats on being preggy! Envious envious..

hi poissons,
Maybe u can get the opk strips from the website, it is much more cheaper(around $1 a strip) I very kia su, i started testing aroung CD14 dan got a +ve on CD18 and CD19.cos the opks dat you get from outside is 5pcs per pack, so your agaration must be very good to aim to test +ve on your actual O day... I am not too sure if I still have the OPK strips or not, will go back n check, dan mayb u can get them from me....

Your BBT of 36.4, you consider low, you kno i may really have a prob. My highest BBT is only 36.4 haiz ... and its not as if i underweight. I normal weight leh but my body so cold, before O even worse, 35.8 only.

char5105 - okie, no prob..shall wait for your reply tonight..
ant1712 - i see, i see..how come i didn't think of that? hehe..i shall average the cycle days then, but as far as I can remember, I can only recall my cycle days in May onwards..hiaks. Old liao..short memory. hope to hear good news from you, my period juz ended, so it's another fresh month and another fresh hope again =)

Hi Caitlyn
Maybe, she sees u okie... that's y nvr give u MC... Coz maybe later on when u start to have morning sickness and all... perhaps, u need MC more... hehehe... but think if u feel unwell, u can ask MC from her, she will give one lor... dun be afraid to ask mah...
Better not to stress u mah... otherwise, so stressful... maybe worst for yr body... juz relax, okie? in the meantime, juz monitor yr BBT lor... if suddenly drop alot and u felt unwell... then go and see her immediately lah... but if juz fluntucating then shld be normal lah...

poissons- we only seriously start to ttc last mth n tot it shdnt be tat difficult once we go off contraceptive. my AF came n hb n i were so surprised! thn realised its not tat easy after all. i hvnt got my hb to go for the test, tot of goin to doc for chk up if no gd news by 6mths.. but i suppose his spermies shd be ok cos he's stil young? he's 27. hee..
Hi ant1712 and catilyn,
ya lor...her 1st child is now 18,2nd child is 11, and the latest addition to the family is 4 days old...very big difference...i think by the time i m 38, dun have this courage to have a child liao...caitlyn, how much are you paying for the gynea charges? My consultation yest was $111,($45-consultation,$50 scan,$16 medication)

My consultation yest was $111,($45-consultation,$50 scan,$16 medication)
ant1712 - yah, i agree..it's not easy. but you have only tried once, so still ok lah. for me, we have already tried for 3 mths, no time to loose, cos' already 31 this yr. See lah, you gals wants to close shop at 30, I juz opened only leh. what to do? married late mah. sigh. i have a gf who has been trying to 2 yrs. turns out that she had cysts, went for op, still no gd news, then the hubby went for a check up, and realised he had low sperm count, so after some medication (gynae prescribed some zinc supplements to him) for a couple of mths, they finally succeed..so happy for them. That's why I thot probably it's good to get my hubby to go check too, the earlier a probem is detected, the earlier we can solve the problem.
char - i think this is the lowest my gynae goes liao.. e first time i did a scan it was 100.. me same gynae as yuki.. i enquired abt her package.. very exp also.. only starts after 4 mths.. 1200 plus gst.. delivery starts at 1600
yuki - will dr chua's charges go lower subsequently??
