Hi cookie,

provided they are not LVs or Pradas or Chanels, blah blah blah...
TTC2,
I worse than u leh... I married for abt 1 yr 6 mths liao. I ROM at 24, customary wedding at 25, one of the few who married earlier comparing to my peers. Only start to TTC mid last yr and have been trying without luck till now. Going 27 too. I was at one time very stressed but only recently manage to handle better. Try to keep thinking that though TTC is my priority but I have other matters which are important as well and I can't lose concentration either. I felt that ever since I started TTC, I hadn't focused on my work much. Now trying to get everything back on track
Yah lor, last time I big mouth go and tell those aunties that I want to have babies earlier so married earlier (although at 25 is still considered late when comparing to the age they married last time). Now feel like I have slapped on my own face for what I said last time. Really no answer for them, just keep thinking of excuses lor

Elmo,
what's the problem u are having? Is it the scan?
I think our aunties asked because they tried to strike conversation with us but didn't know they have upset us during such process. I guess only until we get preggy then only we will appreciate their concern. For the time being, I also stay bo chap and concentrate on TTC, no energy to chap liao. Nowadays worse still, MIL's friends ask in front of her, FIL, my hubby and myself. Then MIL always answered faster than me and told her friends 'soon soon, very fast one, they planning liao'. My eyes always popped when I heard that!! I thought of saying 'not so fast' so that I wouldn't be stressed but she answered for me, haiz.....

hi TTC2, dun worry too much... me older than you... so, you not too late...
Hi daisy,

Hi daisy,
Ling,
thanks for ur encouragement!
TTC2,
same same
I also horse! Ha ha, but I worse than u again... My colleagues asked me how many I want too.... In my heart, I actually want 3 and I also told them, but now how to???
Elmo,
every time I feel discouraged, I think abt Zoey Tay and Julia Roberts. About slightly later than mid 30s and can still get preggy and give birth. Zoey is fortunate to have conceived naturally. I ever read 1 article that Julia Roberts was very stressed as her gynae said that age was catching up with her and even with IVF, her success rate might be very low. However, she still got pregnant and gave birth to twins! So, even at 30, there's still a very high hope. In fact, I have lotsa friends and relatives at this age conceiving faster than me leh!

Elmo,
I'm going to request my gynae to do hormone tests, scan & HSG for me when I visit her in March to make sure I'm ovulating and fallopian tubes aren't blocked. If everything is alright, then I will ask if I need to take Clomid or I will just let everything goes naturally if I know I'm perfectly alright. What kind of hormone pills are u taking hah?

Daisylove,
why not 3 kids??? can try mah, hee!
My grandma gave birth to my mum (4th child) at age 40, while my mum gave birth to my baby sis (3rd child) at age 37!
I may want to do the same, heehee... but must see whether i enjoy pregnancy or not, hee!
I really think its nice to hv a younger child such that when your older children gets married and leave the house, at least still got a young one for u to mother! In a way, i think my mum was able to cope much better than my MIL, as my mum still has my sis, whereas my MIL really suffered from empty nest... but then again... my mum is also less drama, heehee....

Elmo,
good that u found out abt ur polycystic ovary earlier and can get help from gynae to prepare for ur next TTC cycle
My MIL is kind at heart, just sometimes quick- & short-temper and can be rather temperamental. Once we start chatting, can chat quite long, even longer with FIL. This is when she's in good mood lah
Yah, let me know the medicine name, thank you

Hi Verone,
One way to check for follicle growth is thru' scanning. The gynae will be able to measure the size. If you go every 2-3 days (after day 10), he can see whether it grew. Up to a certain size, the follicle will rupture (ovulate), if not he can induce the ovulation for you.

Hi Verone,
yes! me bunny rabbit..
very near to mine!
I went for a checkup before TTC last oct/nov and thru the scan, gynae showed me that my ovaries have unripen follicles, so he mentioned to me I might not be ovulating regularly and ask me to try for 6 mths first...but after these few mths of monitoring... still no ovulation using OPK... and AF getting irregular and long cycle.... so I went back and he did a follicle scan for me again and he found a follicle which he told me can try and see this follicle will grow or not.... then few days later I went back again for monitoring and he told me that the follicle is not responding.i.e not growing... so most likely this mth also mission fail liao....
dun worry.....maybe there's nothing wrong with you.......
you can go and do a checkup.......if you are worried..... but it's normal for normal couple to try 1-2 yrs before striking.... it's just that I realised I have some problem and so now getting getting anxious to have bb soon.... if not I dun mind waiting initially ( maybe it's my punishment for waiting so long) kidding lah.........

Elmo,
ha ha ha, that shows ur MIL really dotes on u like her own daughter. My MIL initially also like that when I return home late, somemore I stay with my PIL now, so they know my movement in & out of the house. Then my hubby explained to her that when I was staying with my mum, sometimes I returned late too due to work or meeting with friends. She even said I'm very yong gan as she dares not go home late herself. Now she's used to me coming home late liao

Bye daisy!!
Hi Elmo...great to find a bunny same as me here...tot i am the oldest leh, hehe..
I went for ultrasound scan, blood group test, pap smear etc...result was ok..
But I guess maybe I did not calculated my ovulation very correctly and not so hardworking BD loh..
I started when I am back from Korea..wanna have a break after our honeymoon 2 years ago else have BB cannot travel liao loh. For the 2 years, we use protective method.
Ya...sometimes think whether God punish us or not when come planning, no so fast can strike...who tell us to protect and protect last time...SIGH!!
I will give myself chance to try naturally 1st loh.. if this cycle no strike then I will buy ovulation kit and monitor by EWCVM.
Don't think we are too old to start la..I've got few colleagues who give birth mid 30s leh. I think its quite common now...don't worry..
We jia you jia you together..
