hi hazel, thos symptom also same as pregnancy leh. I have similar problem like you. AF come regularly always thought easy to conceive but yet I have tried for a year and more. Most important not to stress out yourself.
just let it be.....

Zenn, a preconception visit to your doctor should include a medical history, complete physical examination, including Pap smear, blood tests to check for immunity to Rubella, Toxoplasmosis, or other diseases that may affect pregnancy, and advice on what type of vitamins to take. The doctor can also discuss their philosophy on trying to conceive and what you can do to improve your chances. You can go to any women clinic for the examination. Total cost around $100+.
Cervical Mucus(CM)is a jelly like substance produced by tiny glands in the cervix called Cervical Crypts(CC). It has a protective function and may prevent bacteria from getting into the uterine cavity.
The third fertility sign, and probably the most evasive, is the cervical position(CP).
Hazel & Bettle, there is no way to know for sure if conception has occurred until a positive Home Pregnancy Test(HPT)is seen. "Common symptoms include sore breasts and nipples, nausea, fatigue, backache, food and smell aversions, triphasic temperatures, creamy or yellowish CM, implantation spotting, cramping, frequent urination, and irritability." IT IS IMPT TO REMEMBER THAT EARLY PREGNANCY CAN HAVE NO SYMPTONS AT ALL!!!

Hi Char

Hi Hazel
Dun be disappointed... it's too early to tell also mah... coz symptoms of preggy & PMS is very similiar... dun think too much into all these symptoms... juz wait & see lor... I noe... 2WW is the worst period to go thr'... especially the last few days... I have gone thr' it the last cycle... so, this cycle, after O, I stop taking BBT... and also dun think too much abt getting preggy... wait till AF nvr come... then go test lor...

Hi Eve,
Thanks for explaining! I have actually shortlisted Dr Adrain from TMC due to convenient but I just found out they dun ve a pre conception package. Have to go for first consultation which range from $40-70 and the gynae will then advise which test. Worried that it will end up alot of $$$$

Hi Yuki,
Me still ok...but quite uncomfortable to have tummy cramp and backache at the same time...feel like lying down and not moving .....
Usually when my AF is coming , i will have lower back aches..bt this time seems to be worst...even a slight knock on my boobs feel like kana punched leh...

Flizz, most people generally thought sperm can survive around 72 hours, but it may be shorter or longer, depending on whether the cervical mucus is hospitable. If the pH of the vagina is hostile during the non-ovulatory portion of your cycle, due to infection or in the presence of a spermicide, sperm may die in minutes and never reach the fallopian tube, where fertilization usually takes place.

eve - i have to agree with you. that's why it is quite annoying and stress for us who are trying to get preggie. got symptom or no symptom also hope for something happen.
Eve - how to define clear & Egg white? I have seen clear but thick CM, i.e. like the type when u have runny nose (v sticky & stretchy)?? To me doesn't seem watery leh, is it still considered fertile for spermies??
Thanks!
Char, maybe u shd wait till 14 days or later aft O then test! Good luck!!

Hi Eve,
Thanks thanks!! I was lookin at the web http://www.kkh.com.sg/ForPatientsnVisitors/SOCs/Womens/Packages/PricePlans.htm and some offer package. So was wondering should go for package or individual test

Louie, it should be clear and transperant ... just like jelly..
Hi Yuki...
Yup...I noe tat scientifically the HSG oni detect blockages...but doesnt open our tubes...but I read tat some women conceive shortly after their HSG...mabbe itz jus coincidence bah... =P
Hi Char...
Wif all these sypmtoms...u can still tahan not to test...wah...if I were u...I def cant tahan manz...but if u o on 16 or 17 feb...then mabbe u shld wait til next wk b4 testin...I o on 11 Feb... n AF due tis wkend...14 to 16 days luteal phase...
Hi Eve...
Do u noe how to check the CP...I cant figure out how the cervix feel like...hee...all sorts of funny shapes inside...
Hi Louie n Zenn...
CM is jus a gen term...it can b termed CM as long as it is discharged fm yr cervix...but CM can b classified into dry (very lil CM), sticky, creamy, watery or egg white...watery CM norm comes b4 egg white CM...egg white CM is the stretchy n transparent CM which looks exactly like egg white...it is the most fertile...n occues near or on yr o day...oso termed as EWCM...

Hi hazel,
I have shortlisted Lawrence Ang (2 of my friends delivered by him and have good comments) and Adrian (convenient). Both are from TMC and their natal package oni $550 excluding tests and detail scanning. However, they do not have a pre conception package.
If you are going to TMC direct, they do have package starting from $268 http://www.thomsonmedical.com/Medical_Prog.htm
Do share if you find out more packages

Hi all
Was actually planning to join u gals here after seeing how friendly and helpful u all were.
I have been TCC for 2 and a half yrs. I'm 26 this yr so imagine how I feel when everyone keeps telling me I'm still young when I have been longing for my own baby for so long.
Actually HB and I saved money and are determined to conceive by this yr and considered TCM, IUI, IVF. I also changed my job to a 1 yr contract one....our deadline than we will try fulltime.
But guess things always work out differently.
We just collected our medi from our sinseh and was waiting for my AF to come so that I can start taking it and it didn't come.
Instead I started having cravings and I can eat a sandwich at 11pm and I am already hungry before I wakeup. Than wokeup with a fever and dunno why I told my dr my AF was late so she didn't give me medi ask me to rest.
In the end we bought a PTK and tested positive. I'm 5 weeks now. Guess quiting my previous job was the best thing I did I was so relexed and my hubby was also resting during CNY period.
So dun give up hope!! Everything is possible.
Just want to share hope u gals dun mind....

Hi Char

Hi Fizz
Alamak... Dun tell me u wanna do HSG coz of these coincidence? I did mine during my Lap... not preggy yet leh...
Think there's some scan that tells if the egg is ready.... might as well do that kinda of scan... unless u hv some other reasons for doing HSG...
Hi D_Woof
I wanted to... but my hubby told me to try one round of Clomid first... since that's the advice from my gynae... who's pretty trustworthy... so if I dun conceive by this cycle... then perhaps, will go and try the sensei lor...
How's yr mini confinement going? Feeling better now? How long did the sensei ask u to stop TTC?
Hi Doreen
wow, u r so lucky... Dun think will be able to quit my job and stay @ home to enjoy BD.... think I'll be too stress @ home... coz kept thinking abt it... I juz hope my office will become less political... then it will be less stressing... I already adopted the bo chap attitude but my 2 other colleagues still go on backstabbing me.... I'm so upset... I hope I can find a job soon... yet, I'm also scared that if I get another job now and the employer dun want me if I got preggy then how? Such a dilema....
