Hi Puppies,
I had my D&C done in early July. I didn't stop bleeding (very little) or spotting (dark brown discharge) until my AF came. Finally, it cleared mid last week! I called up the clinic and the nurses told me it is normal as the length of bleeding/spotting varies between individuals. Can you imagine I was bleeding/spotting for almost 6 weeks?!

Puppies:
Dun worry. Mine was like that too. Bleed for 3 days, then spot, stop bleeding, after a few days, start bleeding again. Then i was worried, but bleeding stopped after a few days. 5 weeks later i got my 1st AF.

hi gals,
the prob is that i have no preg symthoms this time, eg. sore breasts (i had it the last time when i found preggy)... and so still wondering... and keep on thinking why my period still not here yet... a bit worried that my cycle will go haywire.... already 42 days (my longest record is 43 days...)
u gals got this prob?

hi kit, yup i'm still seeing my tcm physician. there was a vast improvement the last round so i'm really happy.
i think many docs are against tcm mainly cos of hygiene concerns. some medical halls just stack their herbs everywhere in the open, leaving them to collect dust (and god knows what). if you're concerned about possible traces of mercury in the prescription, you can always talk to your tcm physician about it. a really good doc will be able to explain what he/she is doing and put your mind at ease.
if you trust your tcm physician in terms of knowledge and quality of herbs prescribed, i think there shouldn't be a problem keeping up with your tcm treatment as you ttc. what does your hubby think?

hi kit, i don't think i can ttc yet. there's been lots of improvement in terms of my quality of sleep (was prone to insomnia and nightmares) and energy levels, and i've even managed to put on so much weight that i now consider myself slightly plump (bmi was 17.something before). i hope to be able to ttc by end of this year ba.
have you done a home pregnancy test?
have you done a home pregnancy test?
o ya, there's been lots of discussions on whether it's okay to ttc after one cycle. i guess there is no right or wrong answer to this. all depends ba. like how some people can run 5km today and another 5km tomorrow, and still come back bright and chirpy; but others, they run 2.4km today then need to rest one whole week before they can even walk normally again. check with your doc (indication of fertility health) and listen to your body ba.
Hi kit
I didn't go for TCM already cos i think i'm already feeling better...in addition, i'm taking my gynae's folic acid and multivit now...so dun think need the TCM medicine now...

hi bb08,
its not advisable to do running (advice by my tcm). You can do other form of exericse now eg swimming, yoga, etc... cos running involved the suspension of the womb ... so its not v good for ur womb.
and me too.......... put on 2kg........heavier than got bb..........idiot fats.... guess we bu too much... so that's y lor... nvm lah... at least we got a good body weight to start with...
gals,
My period finally here today... its 42 days cycle... super long....... yesterday me itchy hand... go and test on the preg kit... BFN... haha... then i got the feeling it will be here soon when i took temp this morning and drop till 36.2... now i can start to prepare my ttc route.......... all the best to u gals too.............hope we strike the same time......

I think my AF is coming soon.
I am having very thick white discharges+ little brown stuff (I think is dry blood). Now mood quite bad, feeling up tight and had cramps yesterday. Cried 2 times last week cos i miss my baby. These few days quite tired.
Hope my AF come soon. Really can't take it. I think after M/C, my mood swing becomes worst

so i'm not the only one who has ballooned up after the mc. i hope this is an indication of better health (at least) because now my condition must be so critical that last weekend, the salesgirl in watson's tried to sell me some fat-dissolving cream 'for your tummy and ermmm your arms, this part'. wah lau!!! told her doewan and she very quickly looked at my tummy again and said, 'oops! are you pregnant?'
*wail*
*wail*
Kit, xuanting
haa...i'm glad i got some kakis... (oops, very bad of me) Me intending to do some exercise to lose some weight but guess health is more impt... After the MC, i make sure i take my 3 meals dilligently... last time i always skip breakfast but now... instant noodles also eat...
Stefie
though its hard, must learn to let go... currently, i dun cry anymore... when i see pregnant women, i will envy them and keep on looking at their tummy...wondering how i will look when i'm pregnant... look forward to the next production and you will feel better...

Hello Stefie
I understand how you feel. Me have being crying everynight till now.. just cant help it. I do agree our mood swing more after mc cos little things make us sad and unhappy and even cry for nothing. As bb say, look forward and i am sure all of us will make it this time.

Hi kit_mum2b,
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If you are in a rush for time, drink a glass of milk before you leave the house and take a muesli bar with you - you can eat it on your way to work. You can also leave a few in your office so you can take a bite in between classes or before assembly.

bb08, i've also started to do a bit of stretching these few days. what will you be taking up? i actually don't think i ate any more after the mc than before so i really don't know why the same amount of food is making me put on weight. either metabolic rate slowed down or absorption is better now. actually instant noodles aren't that bad if you use very little of the pre-packed seasoning and add some eggs, veg, mushrooms etc for flavour instead; still can pack some nutrients into a quick meal.
kit, i was actually stunned for a moment. i went home and inspected my tummy in front of the mirror after that. really quite round and in a way, i was quite sad. like you said, fatter than got baby. i had been feeling very upbeat and all the last few months and didn't quite expect to suddenly 'sink' like that. but thankfully it was just one of those momentary things. i'm determined to stay positive and enjoy every stage of whatever i find myself in.
do you get to eat breakfast in school? cereal and breakfast biscuits are also pretty packed with nutrients. leave some in your drawer for emergencies?
angela, i also agree. i'm only going to stretch a bit and do nothing else. i think that little bit of extra padding should be useful for ttc-ing as long as we're not like dangerously fat.
hi stefie, perhaps you could try some herbal tea or aromatherapy to help you cope?

i had also ballooned up a bit with the pregnancy and after dnc , tummy still there...perhaps it is because when we were pregnant, we had the mindset yeah can eat everything? when dnc occured, i also didnt manaage to lose my weight.
It's already been 5 cycles since my dnc.. no good news at all but good thing is, my weight is back to normal, even lost abit of weight too. And I'm still eating regularly and no exercise at all for me too. So dun worry gals, over time, we will lose the weight we had put on when pregnant
Now in 2ww... every little thing makes me guess am i pregnant or not? 2ww is so agonising!! Anyone else in 2ww too?

last time i used to drink a glass of cold chocolate milk before i get out of house (i hate white milk, i will vomit) before mc.... now cannot take cold drink... so i stop drinking that for quite sometime,. Sometiems i will eat biscuits/bread, but got to prepare the nite before. If i forgot to buy or whatsoever, i'll skip it. But i'll try not to skip it like u all said.... be more discipline then....
Since i no drink hot milk and can't drink cold milk, I Have to switch to soya bean milk (leave outside the fridge for long time before i drink it) to get calcium. Remind myself to drink it after igo home everyday... do u gals got this prob... DUN LIKE MILK PROB....

I can understand your rush-hour-and-no-mood-to-eat situation. I also wake up early and very often skip breakfast as I'm a teacher. Actually put on weight is good, at least body is well-prepared for ttc. My colleagues commented i've been losing weight. I think so too, and i look more and more yellow as term 3 is really so busy.

hi all. no good news for me again. currently 5 mths pregnant with identical twins, but the twins are suffering from twin twin transfusion syndrome..which means one is small and one is big. It has set in a little too early and the prognosis doesn't look good. Nonetheless, i am going to persevere. I have started going for treatment and may need to undergo a minor surgery to correct the problem. However, whether i do the treatment or not has major risks. Do keep me and twins in your prayers.
Hi cookie,
i''ll try not to skip nowadays... at least eat some biscuits before get out of house... but sometimes... u know.... hard to wake up... haha... and will delay a bit...so sure rush out of the house one....

kitmom, exact sentiments..very tiring to bd alternate days. tiredness from working, sometimes pissed with partner..just too many factors for me. sigh..
for ladies attempting to lose weight, can try eating soup for lunch and bread for dinner. i did that and lost 4 kgs (but have since regained 2kgs..
) my tcm used to tell me to lose weight...told me to go swimming with my hubby. she said a healthy body produces healthy eggs.
roxyz, hope u breeze thru yr 2WW.
i am into CD12, should work harder too..strange thing, there seems to be a dip in temp in CD10 but i didnt experience any wetness/mucus..a false O? If it is really O day on CD10, think i have missed the boat liao..

Hi kit_mum2b,
I can't live without cold milk. I must have a glass everyday or I'll feel that something is missing! If you have a microwave, you can stick a glass of fresh milk (or soya bean milk) in it to heat it up for a minute. Have you tried Horlicks?
Here's more on cocoa and caffeine:
Qn: How much caffeine is in various drinks, foods, and drugs?
Ans: On average, a 5-ounce cup of drip-brewed coffee contains about 115 milligrams of caffeine. Instant kinds provide only half as much. A typical cup of brewed tea contains about 40 mg, although some brands can have as much as coffee. A can of Coke contains around 35 mg, a mug of cocoa only 5 mg. A 1-ounce square of milk chocolate also averages 5 mg, but dark chocolate averages 20 mg. Many medications, including some pain relievers, cold and allergy remedies, and appetite-control pills, contain caffeine as well.
Qn:Should I avoid caffeine if I'm pregnant or nursing?
Ans: Pregnant women and nursing mothers should go easy on caffeine. You may be more sensitive to its effects, and you can pass the drug on to your baby through the placenta or through breast milk. While there's no evidence linking caffeine to pre-term labour, spontaneous abortion, or birth defects, a few studies have suggested that women who get more than 300 mg a day are more likely to deliver slightly lower-weight babies.
