u are correct.... my usual luteal phase is 13-14days and normally by day 14, my temp will start to drop and my AF will come. But today my temp still same as yst. Maybe i O 1day later? Cos when tested +ve OPK, it says the egg will be releasing in 8-36hrs. So if i take 36hours, i still gt to wait for another day rite?
No matter what, i dun pin too high hopes cos later turn out to be like my last cycle.

erm.. speed of the "swimmers"?? me oso not sure leh. guess they're all lighting swimmers.. think i read b4 (& hope i rem correctly) that it only took a few seconds..
actually once the "swimmers" are in ur body, it's like they're swimming in another pool of water (CM) liao, that's why we always monitor our CM to make sure it's fertile (therefore in good condition for "swimmers" to swim to egg

Hi Frenz
Extracted from babycenter abt the speed of sperms..
"In all, sperms need to travel about seven inches from the cervix through the uterus to the Fallopian tubes. When you consider that they travel at a rate of roughly an inch every 15 minutes, that's quite a trip. The fastest swimmers may find the egg in as little as 45 minutes, while the slowest can take up to 12 hours. If they don't find an egg in the Fallopian tubes at the time of intercourse, the sperm can wait there in a resting stage for up to 72 hours."
Hi lilac & wendypooh
There might still be chance you two got preggie...Lotz of Baby Dust to all of us!
ps: Since I am also near the 'judgement day'...how nice if we three got preggie together!!!wow!!!

it's really hard to say sometimes..heard some early preggies got the AF symptoms too...
anyway, If you fail this time, treat this round as a 'warm up exercise' lor.. as you said this your first real attempt mah...
I also try not to pin high hopes for this cycle, later like last cycle..got so depressed...

I am the silly goon who din follow instructions for the OPK strips. FF hasn't detected my O yet but I think it's either CD15 or CD16. BD on CD14 and CD16 but on CD14 I used KY jelly (which is supposed to be bad for soldiers). I happily thought I am not ovulating mah. So for me, the battle this round is over but it's hard to say if I stand a good chance or not...
how are you? howse the bb's development?

lilac and lbs,
think in this case, no need to volunteer such information to the employer unless you confirm you're pregnant.
Singapore work culture is still not yet very friendly towards job-seekers like us...

Thanks Oreo for including me in the list. Grr... CD19... and still not O yet leh.. Haiyo.. don't tell me the menses-delaying pills I took last month is wrecking the cycle...
I am still thinking if I shld be going for the interview. Later if I got it, I am not sure if i want to take it up because I know it will be a very stressful & tedious job. Later might affect my family plan..<sigh>
This job was applied abt two months ago! At that point, I am still not that gan cheong on TTCing lor. Though I am on contract work now, I quite like the environment I am in - stress free....

Im currently not so active in finding job liao. Thking to rst for maybe a month first. N if i really jackpot, then i will go find some tuition lor.
I find that if u are frank to them, they will not hire u the moment they know u will be preggie anytime. If they ask u, u jst say that u are just married and still want to njoy life for another 1 or 2yrs. Cos last time ive been to an interview and i tell them that i let nature takes its course. Haiz.... and in the end im not being selected after 3times of interview. Cos kenna reject by the big boss and i 100% sure that its becos of my ans to that baby question.

I used to be in logistics line before joining this company(not logistics) as contract worker. This company I am going for interview later is also another logistics firm & the job I appied for is one of the super stressful one.
My contract ends early next year. Maternity benefits are not explicitly in the contract & is really up to your immediate boss lor...Come to think abt it, even if i got the job now as Perm, I dun think I get to enjoy maternity benefits lor..
Somemore, my hubby said if I got pregnant & become jobless after giving birth..he can still 'yang wo' for few months...
aiyoh...I think so far liao..as if I am going to be pregnant anytime...hahaaa

Dear all..please give me some advice...
To start off, I have irregular menses but am trying to get pregnant.
And the story goes like this: I have unprotected sex on 28th March 2004, and on 5th April 2004..I have some slight brownish discharge but it wasn't my menses. So I went to read up from the net that it maybe due to implantation of the fertilized egg.
So I went to do a home pregnancy test but it was negative (the line was faint -ve)....
Can I check with you all...can I still be pregnant?? I did the test on 5th April & then on 12th April..both tests were faint negative....so I am not pregnant right?
I also read from the test kit instruction that I shld do the test at least 19 days after having unprotected sex but when I tested..it was less than 19days.
Can I check with you..when is the correct time to test?
I don't know when my menses will come as it is irregular....*SIGH*

Dear garfield
When is your last menses (AF)? How irregular is your menses? If you have irregular AF, it will be rather hard to detect when you ovulated, thus to determine if you are pregnant or not ler...did you take your temp daily? With temp data, it might help to predict when you have ovulated & thus better gauge if you are testing for pregnancy at the right time...maybe you can share with us some of your past AF dates?
Hi new_hebe
You mean right after brown discharge, the normal AF comes? Is this normal for each of your flow?
Lowest temp doesnt mean the O-day unless there are abt 3 consecutive rise in your temp thereafter...

lbs: my last few menses date are as follow:
8/12/03 - 12/12/03
05/01/04 - 14/01/04
07/02/04 - 13/02/04
22/03/04 - 26/03/04
I didn't chart my temperature
Anyway..I think I not pregnant lah....2 tests showed -ve liao...furthermore...i dun have any symptoms at all..no sore breasts, no nausea, *SIGH*
8/12/03 - 12/12/03
05/01/04 - 14/01/04

Dear garfield
yea, your AF is pretty irregular...your Mar AF seem to be delayed more than 35 days than the previous two cycles which were 23 days.
If strictly based on the calculations theory(14 days before next cycle), you might have ovulated sometime mid Apr lar but this is not that reliable lor.
Also, I think you might have tested too early liao because your AF just over on 26 Mar mah. Maybe nearer to end Apr if your AF hasnt come, you can try testing again?
IF you really fail this cycle, perhaps as what poohy said, you shld start charting your temp & monitor the cervical mucus liao...This will help to give you a better idea of when you might have ovulated.
