Hi Daledale,
Thank you for your reply. Is your DHA with multi vitamins same as Blackmores Conceive Well?
Should be similar thou content slightly different.

Hi grumpet,
Thanks for the info! I'm now on my second cycle of clomid; luteal phase. Temperature are high on some days, and lower on some days. If we still don't succeed this cycle, I Guess we will have to change gynae, probably to a fertility specialist. How's your side going on?
hi hi ... in two week wait now. DPO10.
keep reminding myself to relax. tough.
I've been diligent taking my BBT these 2 months. luteal phase seems ok hopefully 36.4-36.6 range, with only 2 days dropped to 36.2... below coverline. so a zig zag pattern.
btw, I started to use the fertility friend app.
free version, anyone is VIP member? before this I was using another period tracker, still using so can compare the 2. realised fertility friend is better in predicting O and interpreting bbt info, the other app doesn't interpret, but just use standard calculation. but both app got my Ovulation date wrong, one 2 days too early and fertility friend was 2 days late, but smart enough to adjust after u key in CM info. my opk was showing negative, but I saw double lines....
hope all will be well. baby dust to us !
p/s...I have absolutely no symptoms, I'm wishing and hoping for the best still and that BFP!

I'm on my tww too! Yes baby dust to us! Hopefully this is the luckkyy month!! Yest mine also drop below cover line and today increased. The temp are like my mood. Up and down lol. Yes really tough trying not to think about it.
I'm currently using period tracker & clue, prediction dates are not 100% accurate.
OMG... woke up early and this morning I discovered there is such a thing called "implantation dip" in yr bbt temp, which could occur at Dpo7-11.
so excited ! this fertility friend app is great, but need time to explore.

Me starting letrozole next cycle. =)Hi, is this chat stil active? 1st cycle of clomid this mth, anyone been on clomid? Keen to share your stories?
Good luck to us!! I'll be gg down to my gynae this wed ( day 12) to do ultra scan n check out if if can ovulate. Hope everything goes smoothly n I can ovulate this mth! * fingers crossed*
Hi! i've been on Clomid for 4 cycles and Letrozole for 2 cycles. still not successful.Hi, is this chat stil active? 1st cycle of clomid this mth, anyone been on clomid? Keen to share your stories?
Hubby asked to stop taking to let my body rest as i gained alot of weight after taking these pills. so now trying hard to lose weight and ttc naturally.

Did your gynae give any suggestion in what she think you should do next? Im started to get worried what to do if the clomid is not working this month as I cannot have menses on my oww. Need to take med to induce. So sick n tired of taking med everymth for menses..haix..
I'm interested. mind sharing the contact?
my last review with the doc. she suggest to do iui. but i heard alot of iui cases that fail so i'm abit worried. and the gynae that i see is nt specialist since i'm a subsided patient. sigh ~
Maybe give urself 2 mths to lead a healthy life style ( eat healthy, do exercise,) tell urself don think abt getting preg..just 'give up' the thinking of getting preg in this 2 mths n try naturally n see hw.
yupx. now trying to lead a healthy lifestyle. and thinking if i shld be seeing a specialist. coze my test results did mention about possible PCOS but doctor cant give an accurate diagnosis as well.
Hmm.. think any gynae should be able to check if you have PCOS base on blood test and scanning? Im diagnosed with PCOS. Have to do some exercises, no dairy, no coffee, no processed food, low intake of sugar.. but its so difficult to follow.
i think because i only have some symptoms of PCOS yet nt remarkable. like 50% not and 50% yes. that's why i think gynae didnt give a definite 'yes' that i am PCOS. this also make me unsure of how i shld go abt it. is neither here or there.Hmm.. think any gynae should be able to check if you have PCOS base on blood test and scanning?

But i still take pcos supplement to promote hormone balance & egg quality on my own.
Nope she ask me continue drinking even during ivf.
Ic, ok.thx alot! I will try to drink few times per wk
Hi! When you see Dr Tan, are you under private or subsidise? coze i'm thinking to get another review from Dr Tan or Dr Jerry Chan. but i heard it will be under private.
Dr tan is private. Previously under Jerry when i was subsidise
I drink the exact longan, red dates, wolfberries 4 times a week even diagnose with PCOS. Hoping it will warm my womb. It actually taste very nice !
I read wolf berries is part of nightshade group, like tomatoes .... could cause inflammation if u believe that theory. just don't over eat.
I've also been on no dairy, sugar, gluten free diet since End last yr. plus side I've loss weight more than 5kg
got a BFN today
AF is 1-2 days late.used clear blue digital
Still keeping fingers crossed

Jiayou Hibun! all for a healthy baby , you can do it !
you can allow yourself 1-2 cheat day if that helps, even then I don't do sugary food and generally no milk/ butter/ dairy stuff. Oh ya, cut soy too. esp if have fibroids, I have small ones.
Rac14,
I eat lots of fish and sometimes lamb.
wild caught fish is better, of cos, but sometimes when out, just eat whatever there is. like mixed rice 2 vegetables, 1 fish, egg . brown rice preferred. or Saba fish. thunder tea.. yum. occasionally bee hoon fish bitter gourd. Japanese food, without soy.
home cooked, usually I do bake fish super easy , salt pepper/ herbs w lemon and with either rice (recently I tried black rice, taste good like brown rice)/ Quinoa, and lots of veggies brocolli, spinach, bok choy, kale. etc. avocadoes when I remember. occasional gluten free pasta, but not much since it is processed , with salmon / canned salmon. Eggs. I use onion, garlic, ginger to add flavour, but avoid sauces (usually has preservatives and gluten).
1 day per week when I eat the other meats.

NTUC Unity has it, and Vitakids shops... ard $9plus. but I buy from iHerb much cheaper $6plus... Traditional Medicinals brand. extra 5% off if u order 4 qty, oh ya.. Daledale posted link above.

Wow you are very discipline. Jiayou.
I try reduce sugar drinks, cold food, eat more healthy only.
just try our best, sometimes very hard when there are special occasions or functions. or hubby not cooperating and want to eat junk food, lol.. fortunately not all the time. just minimize them, but more importantly don't stress over it
