HI jam,
i was taking my temps, but so consistent, no dip no up. kept using OPK kit also negative, then 1 day i found something like egg white when I wipe the tissue, sticky and a little jelly-like, next day my temp went up, i thought it was too late.
hey ruggles
you boy boy is sooooooooooooo cute! my heart melts!

catz,
just thought of something. so the theory that y sperm swim faster, x sperm live longer holds true eh.. your egg was already there thus higher opportunity for the y sperm to reach it thus u got Tim. according to my chart that time, we BDed right after ovulation (the next day) and I got K..
hmm.. thewife, maybe you can try to predict using this theory!!!

jam,
oops, just say ur msg.
i tested with quite a few opks but nothing cos i O so late. i gave up after a while. actually mine was really by chance that we BDed just after O. (hehe... maybe instinctively extra passionate/emotional/h****y
on that day) only after we tested positive on the preggers kit and I looked back at my chart that it actually showed the temp dip. I think i had a bit of the EWCM too.. but not really the clear type, just more than usual.
the fertility friend website is really good for charting temp leh.. it analyses for u ..try it if u are taking BBT

hey gals, really thanks so much for e advice.. me feeling much better compared to ytday.. it really helps to noe tt many of u are mothers or mothers to be.. now i believe my turn will come one day.. keke..
anyway, i'm one person tt OPKs dun work on.. i can get +ve reading on OPK every other week.. dr says it's coz for PCOS patients, generally our LH level is on e high side.. not only tt but i also can get EWCM every other week.. strange huh.. kek

cody, remember I went gynae in the late morning..she saw the follicle. Why I had the pain is 'cos the egg was pushing against this 2.5cm cyst I've had for a while.. so the pressure was really awful. When I went back and tested in the evening, I only got a faint line leh. So weird lor. Even when I conceived Tim, the OPK only had a light line..not like what the instruction book says that the colour should be same for both lines.
caitlyn, you're right about LH surge in PCOS patients causing weird OPKs read-outs.. wah you're the first I've heard of +ve reading leh.
ruggles..hee.. so K is really a miracle baby! Mine were both conceived 'scientifically'
stretchmark cream - I religiously applied until the last month where I was too lazy/whale-like.. THEN I kena huge growth spurt and kena stretchmarks.. arrgghhhh...

Hi Ruggles,
That theory not very accurate for me leh. I also knew about that. I test postive the day before of my IUI so the next day I went for my IUI so I assume I have already ovulated hmmmm but the X sperm go in leh... Anyway I guess maybe my husband has more X sperm heee...
So far how is nepia? You like it?

hi caitlyn, am so jealous. i don't normally get EWCM, at most only watery. so I was surprised to see something like EWCM this month (though it's still clear leh....)
sigh, think my BBT hey-wire already. had a very high temp yesterday, but dropped again this morning. and somemore i cheapo, dun wanna buy the clearblue OPK anymore. so really dunnoe if i managed to O in the end

siew lei,
nepia's really soft at least for S. Like i mentioned, the M seems stiffer leh.. last night the diaper lasted from abt 830pm to 8 this morning. not bad 12 hr
catz,
how to stick the diaper such that it's not loose? i used it when i brought K out just now, thn after so many ppl carry him, i came home and noticed that the diaper is loose at the waist. i stuck it quite tightly this morning tho.. i could see his butt crack man..

ruggles, there's just an art to putting on every diff type of diaper. For Nepia, Tim is so skinny that the tabs had to overlap when I first started him
So you can try that lah.. shouldn't get so loose lei.
jam, don't need to buy clearblue lah.. just go and get those OPK strips which are just as sensitive if I'm not mistaken.

yah jam, only from internet.. unless certain gynaes carry.. but highly doubtful. Our resident OPK hoarder, Cody should know best
Heh.
thewife, oh yah it's normal that you survive on very little.. but the downside is that you'll feel very lethargic and feel cold easily.
Just try your best to keep food down. In fact, I just ate whatever I craved.. that's the only way I could eat. Now getting better but still occasionally got nausea. More exhausted than anything really..

More exhausted than anything really..ruggles, no way can he go into M so soon.. I had to wait till Tim was over 7 kg before he wore M and had to wrap the tabs around his waist. Heh. Length-wise was OK but just that his trunk is ultra skinny
I also bought M when Tim was like 6 months..waited until he was almost 1 year before he went into M. Anyway, no rush to upgrade diaper size.. 'cos smaller diapers are cheaper mah..
jam: yah, get the OPKs from the business advertiser here on this forum. she's quite responsible and friendly.
catz: LOL resident hoarder ... i hoard all, no more left! hahahaha, just kiddin!
ruggles: eh, diapers don work that way lah. if S is too big now, there's no way an M will fit him.
try putting him on the NB size? it may stay better.
the weight on the packaging is just a rough guide lah, it really depends on your kids' size.
another factor is the cutting, some brands have generous cutting eg nepia.
eg my son has a big butt, so he's already into XL diapers even tho his weight doesn't correspond with what's recommended!

cody, catz,
yeah, K is a small sized baby. I guess i'll just have to keep my Ms for a longer time. Looks like I'm a diaper hoarder. I've got like a big pack of drypers M and 3 packs of nepia M in the haus keke..
S is fine actually. maybe yday he was carried around by too many ppl so the diaper slipped. so far it lasts 12hrs thru the night without leakage leh.. i like the softness too.. even when i tape it tightly around the waist, it's not too uncomfortable as it kinda moulds into his shape.
Btw, how to change the nepia points for NTUC vouchers? What about the other brands also? What to do with the points?
Cody,
hey, I think Dean looks like you. That's you with the half the face in the picture rite? Looks a lot like you!! I think is the lower part of his face, his lips!
He actually has your eyes too. I'm like typing this and flipping to and fro to the other thread to look at the picture!!

Hi everybody
I need for kind advise regarding my problems...
My menses came on 27 july and ends on 31 july (last for 5 days only) and my cycle is 21 days.
I started using OPK on CD 5 onwards to monitor my next ovulation period..
CD 5 - i tested negative
CD 6 - i tested faint positive
CD 7 - faint positive
Cd 8 - faint positive
CD 9 - and again faint positive
Normally people will test positive at OPK for 3 days but for my case it went up until 4 straight days. i have got no CM to guide me , (only yellow white wet discharge).
i now confused by this OPK things. i have tried BBT before but my gynae say for PCOS, BBT will always go haywire.

hi farisah
faint positive is not positive, if you read the instructions, the positive line has to be as dark as the control line. It should be more difficult to trace positive from OPK cos PCOS people has elevated LH hormone which caused faint positives. so far tracing via BBT is easier, look out for dip in temp and start BD right away.

hello galz! all of u sound great! I have been busy as usu....but still pop in once in a while to kaypoh.
still doing my Puregon injections daily for IUI, waiting for some of my follicles' sizes to grow to optimal size. Hope it is not too many like last time....*sigh*...I just need one or two big and nice follicles.....not 20! praying hard....
btw, the KKH sonographer must have kena complained about her roughly handling, she was so nice and much more gentler last friday when i went down for my 1st scan on the follicles...
farisah, dun rely just on the OPK only, try all 3 things to help you gauge. BBT, CM and OPK ! agree with thewife about the OPK always faint positive for PCOS patients....mine perpetually faint positive! I also have alot of OPK...think going to expire soon liow!

ruggles:
you can exchange the nepia points for $10 ntuc voucher by mailing the points and your contact details to the nepia supplier.
just call the supplier for her address details etc.
they have this offer regularly; so if she tells you the promo is off now, call back a month or so later.
think you need only mail in the points with your name, tel and mailing address. they will do the rest, and quite efficiently too!
i know sealer and pampers premium have points.
i called sealer - no exchange programme.
pp - they used to have, but i called them umpteen times to no avail. i think they may also have shut down the promo. anyway their gift redemption was quite lousy.

ruggles & catz: thanks!! i hope to join your rank as mom-to-be / mom to a newborn soon!
thewife: yeah, not all NTUCs carry the nepia brand. Only the larger ones.
Alternatively, you can get them from parco bugis junction (near the nursery) or Meidi-ya jap supermarket at Liang Court.
