Re BBT... it is very simple, as your gynae explained, a shift in temp suggests ovulation. A few days before O, temp will start to drop drop drop... once O occurs, temp will immediately rise and stay high all the way until just before AF comes, and then temp will drop again... and so the cycle continues! It is best u chart at least 2 cycles so u'll find it easier to understand the temperature trend.
Anyway, in your case, ovulation prob occurred anytime BETWEEN the morning u measured 36.0, to the next morning when u became 36.7. See the upward shift? Technically we will count the 36.0 day as O day (the day b4 temp shoots up).
So the next qn is, when is the best period to bd?
Once temp starts to drop in mid-cycle, this is a sign O is coming. Healthy spermies are said to be able to survive as long as 6 days (hard to believe hor?
), so no harm bd earlier to keep stock!
And continue bd-ing as long as temp remains low... until u detect a sharp increase (which means eggie is out already), that day is good too, as per your gynae's advice.
Probably your gynae is trying to guide u to detect your ovulation, and to bd as close as possible to the time of ovulation. I hope u took her advice to bd on the day your temp shift up?

Natural Ways to Maximize Fertility
A healthy diet is absolutely vital at this time to ensure that each partner is well nourished to optimise general health, maintain a robust immune system and nervous system, and for normal hormones balance. Eat plenty of Fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, complex carbohydrates, phytoestrogens in foods such as Lentrils, beans, soya products, and chickpeas, cut out junk food, refuned carbohydrates, and excessive of sugar.
Eat plently of Alkaline foods to regulate the pH balance of the cervical mucus. An overacid vagina is hostile to sperm. Most fruit and vegetables, as well as milk are alkaline, while meat n fish, whole grains, cheese, tea, coffee and alcohol, eggs and seeds are acid.

hi all...good afternoon...
i weighed myself this morning and realised that i've lost 3.5kg...i can tell from my face that i've lost some flesh on my cheeks...i'm so worried for BB. my cough is giving him/her some hell in the womb...i wonder how he/she's feeling...*sad sad*

oh dear XMM... poor you....
What happened?? to stress abt something? but your HB already apologies to you liao wor... maybe you are feeling happy
Hmm.. next time maybe drink so warm water and try to sleep again. Personally I feel, when you try to fall asleep dun use "count the sheep" method and don't focus on you WANT to sleep.
Instead try to stay awake...reverse phycology..hee hee
When we WANT to sleep, the more we couldn't but if I try our best to open our eyes and try to remain awake chances are we will sleep faster.
Remember those day when exam coming and need to stay awake to read, surely will fall asleep one..hee hee..
Oh... preggie woman will have insomnia too. My friend during preggie only can sleep 4 hrs at nite.. so day time must nap.

HI Sneaky
Good Morning
Dun worry too much... your weigh lost is probably due to the MS and not the cough. My friend has terrible MS also told me she lost weigh during her 1st trimmester.
When you are in the 2nd stage, no more MS, try to eat more and Bu2 hui2.
If can tahan, must remember dun drink cold water cos you will cough more.
for me... Jin1 do1 nian4 chi2 An1 chuan1 bei4 pi2 pa2 gao1 mix with warm water then drink works really really well for me.
Think preggie should be able to drink too... but check first.
I remember there was once I drank 3 bottle of western medical cough syrup and still coughin and once drink the jin1 do1 nian4 chi2 An1... few days later recover liao.
Take Care.

XMM: is not too good to travel during the 1st trim. so try to avoid. i will only be traveling after my 1st trim just to be safe. u must be able to weigh the importance... which is more impt? a baby or a career... if ur boss gng to retrench u just becos u cant travel, he might just consider... as he might just lose an abled staff.
XMM
aiyo... no one will chase you away to sit other table la... though I never met the gals before too but I'm 100% sure no one will like this
regarding the travel rstriction guess Ling has answered the health part, think for international flight they wont allow u to board after u are 36 or 38 weeks preggie... scare u labour on board hee hee....
Dun worry abt your boss, at most you grounded for 1st trims think should be acceptable to him/her ba.
If he really retrench you because u are preggie and canot travel for temp. GO to MOM can check what are your rights and complaint your boss ah. Govt is so encouraging abt us having BB... I'm sure Govt will support you in this case
Aiyo... anyway dun worry la and u think too much liao.

Cookie,
sometime it's easy to say but when in reality, it's difficult ...... esp when the concept "nobody is indispensable" is so widely understood ..... so no matter wat, our job will be at stake - maybe the company will not really retrenched u but you may be transferred to other dept, or to other position doing not so important things since your high pofile portfolio was taken over by some other people, all this is sufficient to make u leave voluntarily if u r not able to stomach it ..... I've seen this happening in my company .....
Yep, I'll only worry later when i preggie .......
Hi Jen,
ok, good that you've all this ready so we can communicate and get to know each other more ....

XXM,
you are right abt no one is indispenable...
then again... when time come it boil down to which is more important... career or time with family.
Sometimes we just have to walk 1 step see 1 step. Right now maybe difficult to set a decision but when we going to be mum, I believe we can see more clearly
Being a working mum is never easy these days.
I have a colleague who is very tough in her job, very responsible and always work OT, hmm... her 2 kids taken care by MIL and if given a choice her kids dun want her to play with them, they rather look for grandma.... When I have kids, think I would really be scared and sad and depressed if this scenario happen
