oh no, i feel so old here!!!
but good to start ttc-ing young lah!
btw, i actually used one of the hpt this morning and saw a faint line in the test window! but dun dare to put too much hope since doc already said i didn't ovulate this month from the scan. i don't have any symptoms at all (except for stomach cramps which can be a sign that AF is reporting soon). somemore i had quite a bad fall last week while rollerblading and I was perfectly ok..... so maybe test wrongly this morning..... shall try again this weekend (luckily the hpts i ordered are much cheaper now)
happy weekend to all!

thanks, gals for all the well wishes! just got home from the doctor's clinic. all the tests show positive! thank God for that. it's really a miracle since we really had no idea when the ovulation happened.
but we are still not very sure cos doc can't really see the baby from the scan yet.... plus i've been having cramps, so he asked me to rest at home this week and go back again next week. just hope everything will be fine!!!!
thanks gals once again for all the support
babydust to all those who are ttc-ing
i'm sure it'll be your turn very soon

Jam,
Yipee!!! <font color="ff0000">CONGRATULATIONS!!!</font>
Probably your ovulation was late and the BBT was off!! Whatever the case, who cares??!! You preggers that's all that matters!!!
I think a lot of people have cramps as early symptoms. Just rest a lot and take care yah.. and let your hubby do all the housework.. *kekeke*

caitlyn,
i saw my gynae very early that time also. he cldnt see anything. he said that the hpt kit is usu very good. seldom false positive one, so he also din do blood test.
shld hv waited n saved some $ hehe..
but thn i again, i understand your kan jiongness, hehe cos we oso like that that time. want confirmation.

caitlyn,
but hor, the gynae can't tell for sure until he sees the sac one leh. and at the early stage, cannot see sac one. I went to see my gynae the momenet i tested positive (i.e. after 2ww), he cldn't see the sac. but he told me that HPT test kit (commercial/dr) is very accurate. if got positive, most definitely means conception, but if later no signs of pregnancy, then it may be an early miscarriage actually. Then i still worry for the next 1 week.. hiaz.. spend money to worry myself. cos that time i conceived on clomid, so i was worried abt m/c risks.
but dont worry k.. go see a dr if it makes you feel better.. hehe..
*hugz* i understand that "not-knowing" feeling. see, jam got faint line also positive..

hi all.. just an update.. went to see gynae.. as predicted by ruggles, can't see any sac.. only can see very thick uterine lining.. gave me duphaston due to the fact all my prev blood tests showed super super low prog levels.. she syas may be early preg.. no way of noeing coz i din track my O and all..
ruggles - u wait one week.. i need to wait THREE! but guess if my menses come by then, i wld noe it's a early m/c.. sigh.. sldn't have tested so early so if anything happen, will just think it's AF.. wun noe it's a m/c

caitlyn,
not predicted by me lah.. just sharing my experience.
I was given duphaston last time also. Were u given folic acid?
So now, dun worry, just relax, rest well and eat healthily. Enjoy everything now 1st. 3 weeks is very fast one lah.. that time i wait one, maybe because I tahan 2 weeks before i did my preg test? hehe.. u wait 3 weeks maybe cos u did test much earlier.. hehe..

caitlyn,
throw folic acid away? no, no, no? it is impt for the baby's early devt. it lowers the risk of spinal bifida in the foetus!! continue that!
i kenna some colon irritation just as very early symptom. keep having tummyache. but dunno if it was due to the pregnancy. i only strted feeling a little ms after 6 weeks i think. but even w the little ms i had, i hated it, (i'm the prefer diarrhoea to vomitting type lah) so, pray for no ms k.. hehe.. dun ask for it!!
no matter wat, once u know sure hv feelings one lah.. just take it easy now and take care of urself!!

thanks, gals!
hi caitlyn, congrats!!!
seems like both of us are in similar situation. my gynae also can't see sac, only saw the thick uterine lining, but he did a blood test for me and my hcg level was relatively high. he then kan-jiong and asked me to go the an ultrasound specialist for another scan (cos he scared the sac is in somewhere else, i.e. ectopic pregnancy). the lady stuck the tube in for very very long then seemed to see a small dot somewhere.... in any case, am going back next week for another scan.
i also have no symptoms! but now that u mentioned, i had diarrhoea once last week. since then, my tummy has been feeling funny, crampy and bloated.... i'm also taking duphaston, together with folic acid, calcium, etc. my gynae quite kiasu hor?

caitlyn,
that time i was like that, but the thing was that i ate sushi the night before lah... keke..
my dr told me to keep away from fruits and sweet stuff for a while cos the fermentation of the carbohydrates irritates the large intestine. I kept off fruits for abt 1 wk and it worked. maybe u'll like to try this? but must eat the green veg to replace all the fruit that u are not eating lah.
jam,
eh, both u and caitlyn asking for trouble arh?
no ms is good k. puking is really very urgh one leh..
for some, cramps and bloatedness are symptoms of preggers leh

hi caitlyn,
yes, my gynae gave me 1-week MC to rest before seeing him again next week.
actually more tests may just make the whole thing even more confusing. like after i did the blood test, doc says my hormone level was very high. so he was puzzled why he couldn't see the sac. that got us even more worried in case the sac has developed somwhere else.
in fact, my gynae asked me to do another blood test today to see if the hormone level is rising, but hubby thinks we should stop doing any more tests until the sac can be seen lah....
btw, my gynae didn't say eat more veggie and fruits. he asked me to eat more fish and egg. but i guess in general, any nutritious food is good for mummy and baby

caitlyn,
preggers must take more fruits and veg, but (for me that time lah) cos the sugar from the fruits was irritating my large intestine, so i keep having tummyache. so i kept off fruit for a while. maybe the pregnancy caused it to be more sensitive. but after 1 week i started eating fruit again and it was alright le. while u are not eating fruit, must eat more green veg to make up.
