Manuka,
Have you tested again? How is it?

cookie,
i TOTALLY understand how you feel.... its those feeling that you are hoping it is not AF and a bang of disappointment comes esp. when u see the BFN... but like many others in this thread, they are always so encouraging that there is always the next cycle to 'battle' again... btw, how many cycles have you tried? any average cycle to compare for getting preggie?
sometimes i just don't understand why those people who do not wish to be pregnant can get pregnant so easily. IS it because they are not thinking too much and so easier to 'strike'? whereas we are always having a 'mission' whenever we do it...

any pharmacy or even robinsons do sell them.
Hi all
Just wanna to confirm again... CD1 should be when we see AF in "red" or when we see dark brown discharge then consider CD1 liao? sometimes the 1st day only have dark brown discharge only 2nd day then see Red...
TTC2,
Thanks Thanks for understanding...until recently I started TTC ( have been married for couple of yrs liao), this is 2nd cycle.
Anyway no more miralces, AF REALLY coming liao just went toilet to check... hmm.. since expected so not extrememly disappointed... but frankly will still feel bit bit disappointment.
Hmm.. I think you are rite, for us that are TTCing perhaps really put too much stress on ourselve, well at least for me I feel. Usually my AF VERY zun zun one, and this is 2nd time in my whole life that my AF late for some many days. I think it's becos I kept monitoring, taking temp, perhaps phycologically I dun wannt AF to come and my body is trying to tune to that...but still can't beat nature I guess...
me and my thoughts....

TTC2,
Yap... at the supplements section. Guardian should have. NTUC pharmacy also have. It's called "Folic Acid" - no other names. I think Natures also have. I think you will need Vit C for folic acid to be absorbed into the body. So take multivitamins or take more fruits while taking folic acid. FDA's recommendation for folic acid is minimum of 400mcg per day.

Look at the labels when you buy.
Last time I bought mine from Robinsons and each tablet is 300mcg (microgram). My gynae prescribed one is 5mg each tablet... So I have shelved my 300mcg folic acid. BTW, there are many brands of folic acid...

TTC2,
Although I always heard of case of friends or relative not able to concieve. I also kinda worried for myself. I think I'm the more paranoid type. and only recently finally convince my HB it's time for BB...
kekekee... I should have "trick" my HB earlier...
ANyway I'm praying for the best and I also believe God in his time will grant my wish and also Grant every gal their wish.
We just need to have more Faith.
If this cycle still cannot strike, I will have to go Gynae for a check up I guess just to be "An1" "Xin1"

TTC2,
I think most of successful cases are unplanned,
as they relax n enjoy, no ttc mission in the mind
so body relax, husband spermies are relax too
as what my hubby always said to me, it's all in your mind
which is very true
like my fren here,
manuka, her cycles are irregular, very difficult to detect ovulation for her case
didnt plan for bb so soon n yet strike now, so happy for her
wait for to come back n share good news with us

Valerie,
I asked Chin Leng whether I can change. The answer is no. I do not want my previous nick. It brings back sad memories of my last pregnancy.
So I signed up another email account and register again. By the way, how did you know I changed my nick?
Wow, really congrats to Manuka!
I also think the more we want to strike, the pressure will be there and it will not be easy. I have been legally married with hubby for 4 years. I just took a risk for once, that is, BD a few days before ovulation and strike! Before that, we avoid BD one week before and one week after ovulation cos my cycle very accurate one.

HI Val
ya this time I will make use of the O kit to help me det O and also monitor my CM. I know basal temp monitoring is a good way too but somehow I find montioring Temp a bit too stressful...
Do you think if I just use O kit and CM good enough to monitor O?
I use to be 27-28days cycle but this cycle it's 33 or 34CD, so should I follow 28 or 33 cycle har?
Friday gathering is a bit difficult for me cos I usually have cell group meeting on Friday. Hmm.. this time I will have to give it a miss. next time I will try to make arrangement...thanks for invitation.

Hi Val,
Sorry, I forgot you.
My gynae said EPO is equivalent to Dang gui. I avoid Pak Zhen too. My mum's friend's daughter also has a lot of fibroids. After the surgery, she took a lot of dang gui.. And her fibroids grew back in no time and her condition got worse... So now, I dun dare to take anything except what my gynae prescribed. I have 3000 tablets of EPO on my shelf!!! Before that, I bought 2000 tab and my sis bought 1000 tab! Now we dare not take anymore. I watch my diet too...
