<font color="0000ff">lbs</font>
I usually buy the OPKs in more quantities.. as nearer O day got to test.. if today don't kanna, tomorrow have to test again.. so that's why need to buy more..
of course the more you buy, the cheaper each one will cost.. think on average is abt. $3.00

 

[sen]

<font color="ff6000">oreo</font>
i usually record wat i saw in the morning ..
cant say much abt CM .. coz i got a lot of agarations on this ..

<font color="ff6000">lbs</font>
its cheaper to buy in bulk lor
but if u are buying o-kits, 1 is not realli enuff lor

 

[lbs]

[thb]

<font color="0000ff">chihiro</font>

As for the CM, i will only record what i see in the morning.

 

[tuffy]

hi chihiro,

hmm... still no obvious signs. today's temp dropped to 36.7 from 36.8. I am at DPO11 now. Have cramps on off. If my temp continues to drop tomorrow then I think no hope liao... How are you feeling?

[thb]

<font color="0000ff">Tuffy</font>

[angph38]

<font color="119911">wow, u gals suddenly so chatty.. i gotta read archive to catch up</font>

<font color="0000ff">and dun worry, the kits from PreggieBliss are individually wrapped &amp; can keep for 2 yrs. so if u can't finish this round, maybe can use for 2nd one

</font>


<font color="aa00aa">oreo,</font>
dun worry, can still BD tonight. who knows, today ur CM watery, tmr then is ur O-day?

<font color="0000ff">*** baby dust ***</font>


<font color="aa00aa">lilac,</font>
i took b4 i shower, but it was a faint +ive (which means shld be = negative). but when i shower (or was it the next day when i shower), i find my CM very transparent &amp; stretchy. somemore like quite a bit, so after shower asked hubby wanna try or not? so we fast fast do then go to bed lor (of cos after going to urinate lah). who knows, like that oso strike, was very surprised.

by the way, my 2WW then was during CNY &amp; i felt hungry easily.... but after the 2WW, felt bloated &amp; dun hv good appetite liao

<font color="0000ff">*** baby dust ***</font>

 

[tuffy]

lilac,
I just went to the website and they say that the midstream ovulation test kit is out of stock! is this the one you bought? I can't see a lot of things on the website here because of firewall.. are there different types of OPKs?

 

[sen]

<font color="ff6000">tuffy</font>
i got the test strips instead of test kits
cheaper .. but inconvient lor coz u need to collect urine sample before dipping the strip into it

 

[iloveoreo]

<font color="0000ff">lilac</font>

My CD ranges from 30-40 over days.. so very difficult to predetermine the exact day.. last month it was CD30... so i started testing from CD14 for 4 days.. but all negative... and my temp has not risen yet.. all in the range of 35.8 - 36.2.
The last 2 days did not test leh.

 

[tuffy]

chihiro,

ohh... hmm - what type of container would be good for this? sorry - v boh liao question but I really can't think of a suitable container leh.

 

[angph38]

<font color="aa00aa">oreo,</font>
then u hv to roughly gauge ur CM then start testing if u dun wanna waste too many kits.. that's what i did lor..

anyway, think my case was like everything dun follow then everything got it right (cos got pregnant mah

), so i oso dun quite remember/know how to feedback to u gals lor.. too many uncertainties cos it's not "follow the book" routine so din remember mah.

 

[shuin]

Hi oreo,

Fertility friend recommends that we record the most fertile fluid for the day. Yup, agree with the gals, pls rape your hubby tonight by hook or by crook...

 

[angph38]

<font color="aa00aa">tuffy,</font>
any disposable cup will do

 

[sen]

<font color="ff6000">tuffy</font>
use a plastic cup lah
throw away after tt..

[ribena]

hi lilac,

i wish

but i really don't think so cos i don't bbdance often and i also don't know how to keep track of my "fertile" period cos my menses is so irregular! no difference leh, only thing is i feel hungry easily nowadays, that's not a sign of being preggie!!
my menses is irregular on the dates, don't have a fix date, can delay for 2,3 weeks kind.

 

[iloveoreo]

<font color="ff0000">ribena</font>
you can start by charting your temp.. and from there, you can roughly gauge your cycle.

 

[sen]

<font color="ff6000">lilac</font>
so gd to knock off @ 5.30
sigh .. i still got 20mins at least

<font color="ff6000">ribena</font>
ya, temp charting may help
have u chart ur temp every morning b4 ?

 

[tuffy]

it's really pouring here! everyone drive safely (if you are driving).

 

[tuffy]

chihiro,
forgot to ask you - did you find the strips accurate? how long must you wait to see the result?

 

[iloveoreo]

oh.. btw, you gals staying in the west....
good news! It's a storm now... can hardly see outside.
It's gonna be a rainy and stormy nite too!
So...<font color="ff0000">Happy BDing to all!!</font>

 

[slk]

hi giggler,

so you are tigress too. how's your pregnancy so far? your EDD getting nearer... must be very excited now

 

[sen]

<font color="ff6000">tuffy</font>
eh .. i tink rather accurate bah
otherwise will not BD on tt rainy night ..

 

[hopeful24]

Lilac,

So sorry that you got to update for me and classify me as MIA leh...... cos my pc got problems so cannot use. office pc also problem cos company tracks the site u go to.... and then i too lazy to settle pc problem.....but now settled liao lor.... so can come in again...

after 5 mths, now is 6 mths....still trying... i went to see gynae...been 2 mths already.....sad to say, tested that my hubby got some problem. his sperm count is ok but those of normal forms are very poor. so doc says low chance if we try ourselves...but since only need 1 sperm to succeed, still got chance lor..but low lor...she suggested we try artifical insemination (AI)...increase the chance...so we thinking abt it....lucky i see doc early, so discovered the problem. anyway doc gave hubby pills to eat to improve quality....but still doesn't mean AI will sure work...got other factors like egg quality etc....

 

[thb]

<font color="0000ff">chihiro</font>
no rain, no thunder, no lightning..... nothing at all...... BUT will still BD

BTW, i test liao my my control band is darker than test band and so its negative. Gt to keep monitoring cos my usual O shd be ard CD24 which is next Monday.

Happy bb dancing to all..........

 

[thb]

<font color="0000ff">Hopeful24</font>
hehe.... so u finally re-appear!

sorry to hear abt that... but its indeed that u see gynae early. Now keep ur fingers crossed that ur hubby's sperm quality will improve. As u have said, it needs only one sperm to fertilised ur egg, maybe u are the lucky one! Thgh chances are low, that doesnt mean no chance at all rite?

Sorry to ask u, how much does that AI cost? N which gynae u went to?

 

[thb]

<font color="0000ff">hopeful24</font>
BTW, u haven tell me which CD u are currently.

 

[hopeful24]

Shuin n all those depressed ones,

dun feel sad la...u all depressed i worse rite ? after all, my chances so low...so every mth try, also duno succeed or not, since those good sperms we have are so little...need lots of luck ma...but anyway hor..doc told me that observe CM may not b accurate....she said eat "liang" stuff also can increase CM...so best is use the O-kit...surge, then can BD lor... so dun think too much la.... i know its hard but we all try lor...i also very sad every mth but getting used to it...
