Celestine and Princess, jia you and preserve. When you have a will and believe you will get it.
For me I think I hv my son by accident haha. Didnt expect him to arrive so fast like six mths after marriage. And never thought of second one and after eight years I decided and taking things for granted and so I lost the baby. Nevermind all of us jia you ok.
QQ if you feel that taking another opinion is better than go ahead. Like for me I didn't want to wait too long as I am going holiday so my Fren intro her Gynae who is very experienced to me. He is Dr Lim Teck Chye at Tangling shopping center. RealLy experienced doctor. So I did the D&C immediately.

Hi minnieluv,
My af after mc was also a little erratic.. 1st af came 5 wks after d&c, and was pretty light.. 2nd af was 22 days after that, first time i ever had such a short cycle, and i was a little worried cos the flow was super heavy for 2-3 days.. Just to share, i actually just started taking raspberry leaf tea a couple of days before 2nd af.. Now my 3rd af, back to usual 30 day cycle and normal flow like before.. Not sure if it's the tea that helped but i guess no harm trying since has no caffeine anyway
I take a cup on alternate days..

Hi gals,
Thanks for the hugs & support. Still thinking but whether it's worth it for 3rd opinion. But I will be doing another scan b4 my procedure. Guess I just want a final closure.
Btw - I am planning to order 2 weeks of confinement food. Do you all bathe/blow fan etc during the mini-confinement?
Hugs back. Jia you everyone!

QQ, if u doing another scan, perhaps can skip the third opinion... but better discuss with ur hubby. Guys are more clear minded than us gals...
I heard it is not good to blow fans or aircon... but if weather too hot, maybe can use fan, dun on too big... and rem to wear socks to keep ur feet warm...
Jiayou to u too. Dun give up!!!! We are all here for you!!!

QQ *hugs to you* i also same, i heard heartbeat on my 7th week..my 2 cents is that if scan confirm still can't see/hear anything most likely neg. For mini confinement, i made it a point to wear socks and drink warm LRD longan red date drink to make myself feel/keep warm..if sweat, pls change into another dry shirt. oh i didn't wash my hair for 1+ to 2 weeks if my memory didn't fail me.. btw, im not sure what your gynae suggested but as d&c is an invasive procedure, you might want to try to let it expel naturally instead..but a tad cramping cramping feeling lah that is..but painkillers is a good choice. I took just panadol..

good good! your af is regulating itself..soon you can start ttc!
jhw
yeah loh a tad long hor..but you will see an improvement soon say 3mths after. Oh like what min81 said, you might like to try raspberry tea to regulate/cleanse womb meanwhile?

min81,
My raspberry tea just arrived 2 weeks ago. I started to drink alternate days as well. Cos I am taking LRD tea alternate too. So, everyday i am either drinking LRD or raspberry now. This month AF I noticed difference. No cramps, no blood clots, flow not as heavy compared to the past. But I dunno what causes it.

QQ,
For me, I still continue to bath everyday. I wash my hair alternate days for the first week. Then, I bath & wash hair as normal from the 2nd week. Just make sure i blow my hair dry immediately. I sleep air-con every night. I am very fear of heat, so I sweat very easily. That's why.

Thank you everyone for your input. Shall monitor next round of AF.
Princess,
Don’t give up, jia you. Your hard work will be rewarded.
My hubby is also like yours. Have been smoking for more than 20 years. Asked him to quit but didn’t. Say until no saliva. But surprising when my girl was born, he just quit.
jhw,
Like yours, mine also natural. For my case is exactly 4 weeks after 1st day of miscarriage.
min81,
Thank you for your recommendation. Do you drink it every day?
QQ,
Since 2nd opinion has already been confirmed then I suggest skip the 3rd opinion but again if it comfort your heart then by all means.
I bathe and washed my hair every day becoz didn’t know initially but I didn’t take any liang stuff. I drank lots of red date tea, tonic and ate ginger.
Take care and jia you.
Dr Su seems to be is quite good. Hmm…may give it a try

QQ,
For the mini confinement, try not to bath too late... although I bath every day... and I washed my hair a few days interval as I got migrane and dont want to hurt my head...
For me during my mini confinement, I was in Seattle and Alaska and the temperature was between 0 - 15 so just keep myself warm..... eat more gingers and longan drink too keep your womb warm and if you can drink a small glass of DOM everyday....

Thanks gals on the tips for the mini-confinement. Didnt think of the socks tips.
Ok, my husband not keen on 3rd opinion. Will take the advice since I am doing a final scan before the procedure.
Seems like many of you did the natural way. I am concerned if natural & not clean up properly. And think I will feel sad cos I will think baby is bleeding out. Finally, wanted to take the tissues to do the testing recommendation by gynae. See if can find out more. So opt for the evacuation way.

Thanks! I'm actually registered for ivf in aug.. But if this af is not back to normal, my gynae will push it back another month.. So hope my gynae gives the go ahead when i see him next.. Keeping my fingers crossed!
Princess,
Ya i'm not too sure whether it's the tea that helped with my af, but if you think your af is better than it used to be, i guess it's ok?
Minnieluv,
Like chrisl and princess, i also take the raspberry leaf tea and LRD drink on alternate days.. 1 day raspberry leaf tea, LRD drink the next day
Ladies,
This is my 2nd day being a stay at home wife.. Finally quit my job and last friday was my last day.. Gonna rest and prepare for ivf next month.. Hope all goes well..

QQ, u might want to take small amt of DOM every alternate day… (as My TCM told me can take, but dun take too much or everyday)
Like what other Sisters say, Boil Longan + Red Date drink to drink…
Recover your body first before you try again, Say at least 3 cycles
U may want to visit TCM like some of us and Start to tiao your body
My heart goes out to you… because I really understand how you feel.
Like what other sisters always encourage me, Cry if you Need to because it is natural process of Grieving…..
Drink Ba Zhen Soup and Black Chicken Soup during this two weeks mini confinement.
Eat Sesame Oil + Ginger cooked Lean Meat.
Have plenty of rest…. Don’t carry heavy things.
Don’t Let the Wind Get to you… I am very stupid, during my first two weeks confinement, I keep letting the wind blow me because I thought it is okay…. Now I really regret.

Hi dears,
Thanks. I also think natural is less invasive but the heartbreak & physical pain will be worse.
Jhw - thanks for the immense advice. So u mean DOM during the mini-confinement right?
Ya, will think about the tcm too. We were planning a break to Taiwan in Sep. Will go as planned to take a breather.
Are your experiencing any side effects from the wind?
Min - All the best for your ivf. You are very strong to go for it.

I think it's not too good for health, especially during confinement, to take overnight food, so for myself, i'll normally prepare the LRD drink for the day and finish it.. Maybe you try to estimate the portion for just a day?
Celestine,
If you leave the drink in the thermos flask over the night, will it be already cold in the morning?
Minnieluv,
Sorry i don't know much about the korean red dates.. U might want to check with the medical hall?

Yes, mine is those cheapo metal thermal flask, it still last me til next morning. Shd not be any problem.
Jhw,
Best is to only drink LRD within 24hr.
I duno wat the cause but leave for more then 24hr, i will taste abit of sour, which is harmful to our body now. Now we shd avoid any cold n sour food n drinks.

I think as with all kinds of food, keeping overnight is not too good.. If need to keep your LRD drink, better to pour out from your slow cooker and keep in fridge then heat up next day.. Singapore's climate too hot and humid, food spoils easily cos of rapid growth of bacteria..

Thanks coz my red dates are running low in supply. Very costly here at S$9/100g. Though maybe those Korean red date bag can give same effect.

Congratulation!
Wondering why Dr Su can knows so early. I had mine checked by Ang Mo Kio TCM when I was 4 weeks old but could not detect anything. Or was it becoz mine is empty sac so can’t detect?
