Hi Dawn,
Sorry for late reply, very busy this few week with my work
I went to see this chinese gynae, she is actually from Tongji hospital but I see her at Hougang (1 of the chinese medication shop), really lot of people seeing her and she is really good. She is recommended by my sister's colleague, who also has PCOS and has just gave birth to a son (after 1 year of medication).
She told me not to give up my metformin and can take her medication during evening time. U need to boil those chinese herb prescribe by her. When u first visit her, she will give u a graph paper, which u need to take down your temperature once you wake up in the morning and mark it on the paper. She will monitor your pattern and give you advice accordingly. For my case, I don't ovulate regularly, the medication will improve my fertility and therefore improve my ovulation and I actually see improvement
If u want the address just email me. [email protected]

Hi Sharon
My doctor from TMC also suggested ovarian drilling for the next round. I am also hesistant yet I am v desperate to get pregnant.
I am on my 3rd round of Clomid & have been on metformin since. But so far think my stubborn ovaries are not reacting. I read abt injection? Anybody tried that.
I am also diagnosed with PCOS problem. And somehow i think mine is serious becos I have all the site effects like easy weight gain, excessive hair, etc

hey guys,
I just got back yesterday morning.. still jet lagging.. which explains me being here at this unearthly hour. kekek..
didn't really do much shopping (+ didn;t know the gender of the baby, so many things can see cannot buy,, sigh.. ) cos we had hubby's parents with us, so did the usual sightseeing.
the good thing was that we managed to bring back some baby clothes and an infant car seat from a cousin who is staying there.
So how's everyone?? =]

Hi Ruggles,
Can you share with us who is your gynae (I presume is the same one when you were on Clomid)? Sigh, I had a bad experience with my ex-gynae, need another recommendation.
Thank you

Hi ruggles, welcome back. Alamak, not much shopping?! So wasted! I bought most of 0 - 6 months stuff unisex so I started shopping once I was out of my first trimester. When the detailed scan confirmed it was a boy, we went straight out to Oshkosh and bought up loads of stuff.

hi hi faridah
My goodness, so fast that you're going to be a mummy soon!!! The last few weeks very terok 'cos very swollen and fat. I also tak boleh tahan. Can see that you're very very excited
Don't worry about postnatal blues.. you will feel a little down but don't let it get you.
Ruggles, yah lor, everyone says dont' buy Newborn clothes but you will regret 'cos all the clothes will hang off your poor baby. I bought A LOT. I don't regret lah 'cos my boy vomitted so much.
Anyway, how are you feeling?

I am feeling quite good except for a bout of food poisoning last week, everything is good. My tummy is starting to show liao.. especially after I eat. Starting to buy new clothes le. It was a pity that cloth sizes in US were too big for me.
I'm waiting for my sis to give me her baby's old newborn clothes haha..

Hihi ruggles
Aiyoh, food poisoning! Poor you. Make sure you get enough nutrients and water yah? Yeah US clothes sizes tend to be a bit big. I'm quite big sized and I usually take XS or S!!
You're lucky to have handmedowns! I don't have anybody to hand me down so everything gotta buy brand new.

Hey hey!! Happy Lunar New Year!!!
No probs. I've been buying stuff for baby until recently I suddenly realised that i seem to have a lot of rompers for my baby man!! I think more than 20 pcs for the newborn liao.. Hahah...
I'm doing quite well. Done my detailed scan, everything is good and we are having a baby boy! Both hubby and I are very happy, tho' hubby would like to have a girl, so looks like surely must try for another one! keke..
So how are you too?? And also the rest? Dawn? Where have you been??

Hey Catz,
How old is your boy? I think kids are cutest when they just learn to toddle and talk. That's when they learn all the nonsense that anyone shows them.. haha..
I'm quite excited and nervous at the same time. Still dare not think about the delivery, so I'm enjoying this pregnancy for as long as I can. It's really fast man. I'm like about 22 weeks liao.. only 18 more weeks to go.. scary..

Wow, 13 months already?? This is the time where they are like 'i'll try to get away with anything'. But really fun.
I will most probably be delivering at Mt Alvernia. Both my sis delivered there as well. I was considering Mt E and Mt A and decided to choose Mt A cos I will be taking the 1-bedder and I think it would be cheaper.

ruggles...i am still the same...very stressed at work, so AF went haywire again. wanted to do IUI during december hols, but date clashed with the dates we are going for hols in taiwan. *sigh* kena bombarded by a whole GANG of relatives yesterday who "threatened" that they want to see a baby soon........so was given all sorts of suggestions and help. very stressful. how's school for you this year?
Catz, your boy sounds cute...really a lovable age. i used to be a childcare teacher b4 i entered NUS so enjoyed myself with those playgroup children who are 18 months to 2 years plus....really fun.

Hi dawn,
it's good to hear from you again!!
School's pretty good for me this term cos I got very few classes and thus the timetable is quite good. So quite relaxed in a way. Don't have to rush from class to class. Don't be so stressed at work lah.. Are you still teaching?
Wah, your relatives so "hiong" type one? What about your hubby? Get him to shield you mah. I think if i were you I sure shoot my mouth off with something like " you so good you go get pregnant lah.." then again, I always like that one lah, so my relatives nvr really dared to ask sensitive things with me.
take it easy and relax yah. Most relatives mean well, but sometimes they don;t realise the stress that they are causing. Just listen with one ear in and one ear out. donch stress unnecessarily. So will you be planning for the IUI? Keep us updated yah, and wishing you all the best!!
HAPPY CNY!!

hi dawn, nice to see you here at last. Aiyoh, all those well meaning relatives being nosey eh? So when will you try your IUI again? Wah you did childcare before ah? I think I don't have that kind of patience and energy. One energetic little boy is enough to make me snore at night!
ruggles, I also think Mt A is a better choice. Sometimes Orchard Road is super jammed.. so Mt E is very hard to get to!
faridah, my goodness.. anytime now eh? Must let us know when you pop!
Aiyah, think about babies, I also stressed. If I want a second one soon, I think I will have to start taking Clomid and using OPK. STRESSED AH!

hi catz and ruggles....yah, i am still teaching...a graduating top class this year some more. so very stressed. u r lucky....less classes...is it bcos they know u going to give birth this year?
my mum's side relatives very close to one another...so i understand they meant well lah...they juz want to see me with a child, so that they can give him/her big ang pow....heehee.
but it sure hurts when they ask why take so long. hubby juz keeps quiet....he also gets bombarded too at different time. i have to wait till my next AF comes then can do iui....maybe will induce AF next week. clomid din work for me...when i tried for 2 cycles last year.
faridah, u must be very excited to see the little one. my fren 's EDD is 24th Feb....she also feeling very bloated and heavy liow. Btw
2 of my frens had depression during pregnancy. i think hubby, family members and frens must be very patient and supportive lor. One of them wept everyday, she also dunno why....she felt during her 1st week that the child very ugly....can't accept the baby... can't get much milk out, also very stressed trying to express out the milk every hour.
the other one, wanted to divorce her hubby....but a year later, when we asked her about it, she said 'got such things meh?'
but some pple are perfectly happy, guess must be the hormones.

hi faridah, i think it's normal to have depression during pregnancy.. what's very important is that you let your gynae know about it.. must watch for post partum depression after giving birth.. can be very cham.. my friend wanted to kill her baby and herself. Luckily got nurses (in Australia) who picked up the depression signs. So just be careful as depression after giving birth is so common! I felt very weepy from lack of sleep and painful boobs.
I felt that the final month of pregnancy was the pits. Felt fat, bloated, clumsy and just wanted to get the darn baby out! Hahahahahahah
So just enjoy your sleep in the meantime.. when baby comes, NO SLEEP AH!
