Thanks Dodo & Sus Sus
I am still in shock n anxiety stage cos of M/c in march. Praying v hard that all will be smooth this round...
Early preggie symptoms
- sore breasts (& it is v sore, spread over arm pits too & nipples are v painful to touch).
- Not much cramping but feel bloated most of the time.
- Body feels very warm even in air-con room (been taking temp very morning for 3 months now, temp range 36.6 - 37.07 since tested positive)
TTC since last year Oct. I drink two sachets of green tea everyday and grapefruit about 1 coffee mug daily. Can finish 1 packet of Florida a week.
Went for TCM for 2 months (recommended by some of the gals in this thread) TCM taught me some "good tricks" - eg. we could O early like in day 11, 12. So good to test OPK from Day 12 onwards. Alternate between missionary n doggie styles
keep back elevated for 30 mins then sleep still for at least 2 hours before any washoff (best not to wash..just sleep)..Ok to BD from CD12 - CD27, CD27 onwards, stop BD and avoid "liang" food.
Hope above info helpful
*babydust* to all...keep me in your prayers okie!!

dodo - missionary style means HB on top of wife.
DPO means test kit?? I tested BFP using Clearblue and Watson brand.
Yes, during O period, discharge was clear and o watery. After O period, discharge was yellowish and more "cakey", lumpy. oh, i have been suffering from constipation too since O period..
No worries abt questions..glad i can be of help

dodo - if you meant O test kit, i used OPK cassette. The box is pink in color with a baby face on the cover...cant remember the brand...anyone know which brand?
elizabeth - thanks for the explanation! hee... think i prefer missionary style but hubby away to india for 1 week starting from today... i already start to miss him now...
oh... my DPO means how many days past ovulation u tested huh? when ur menses due is it? for my case i have very irregular menses, so not sure when to test as well.. duno 14 days after ovulation will be accurate for me or not...
u also suffer constipation huh?! me too! n im confused btw the crampy feeling or stomachache...

poissons,
not sure can openly recommend TCM on thread, just some info...the TCM i visited is located at bukit timah plaza, female doc - Dr. Du. Her medicine must brew-type... Can email me if you need more details. My email: [email protected]
I used to wash up after BD but didnt strike, so i tried Dr. Du's method..just put a towel underneath your back and sleep. If you diligently follow her instructions to elevate your backside for 30 mins and lie still for 2 hours, the spermie usually wont flow out and cause discomfort.
I usually get sore breasts before O, and before AF comes. But sore breasts if BFP is different i notice....pain spread to the armpit area, & nipples are sensitive to touch (based on my last preggie-turn-m/c experience and now this preggie)

thank you dodo...i am excited too n couldnt believe when test BFP. thot the test kit is faulty and tested on another one. was expecting AF to show up cos of backaches and sore breasts..
i read that high BBT should stay for at least 18 days (chances of BFP is high then).
i hope the visit to gynea this afternoon can double confirm. but worry 4 weeks might be too early to detect anything. but was told to go today cos i have m/c history...so better be safe.

yeah this thread has journeyed with me thru ups n downs for the past 1 year...gained alot of good tips and recommendations too...
i understand the emotional roller coaster of all ttc-sters...i guess to say, keep trying, keeping going is lame for all ttc-sters...but still we must have never-give-up attitudes. Good to go for body check-ups too...my HB went for SA analysis and I went for checkup for egg size under the recommendation of TCM. concluded HB ok, but my egg size is often small and slow to O..so TCM helps...but the process of brewing is tiring... i was on TCM for 3 months..june, july, aug before i had high fever and stopped TCM. during the period on TCM, my O date changed from CD16 onwards to CD12 which is supposed to be good cos good eggs will O earlier...anyway hope info is useful

yeah too early to test...occupy yourself with other things like exercising, reading. There is this website: www.twoweekswait.com can read during 2WW to kill time.
hi dodo...if u can, try to wait for a while before you test...cos when I tested DPO15...the test result was really very faint, to the extend i was doubting that is the test accurate or not....but when i tested again last weekend-DPO 20(hand itchy.....)which is around 4-5 weeks preggy, the line was almost as dark as the control line...
Check this out....

hi mangogal, i drank green tea throughout - before O, after O and during 2WW. The greentea i bought is OSK brand (those u always see at sakae sushi restaurant)
We didnt eat anything extra. Only during TCM, I had to drink the brewed chinese med everyday, my HB drank it 1 week before O period to prepare his spermie..
I O on CD13. I BD on CD9, CD11, CD13 & CD19. TCM advises to BD till CD27 (if we can, in case of late O) But no BD allowed after CD27.
Something silly to share...by faith, me & HB bought baby clothings at recent taka baby fair...hee...saw on this thread some preggie moms did that, so we follow...

think crucial part is not to wash off after BD, stay elevated 30mins and lie still 2 hrs. Just sleep overnite.
i used to find it sticky and messy...but this round, i just bochap and bear with it...
my TCM illustrated to me in a cute way, she said that spermie usually takes 30 mins to swim from entrance to meet egg..then spermie needs 2 hours to take off his tuxedo before he can finally, successfully meet the egg!!!
