Got faint lines means cfm preg le... Just that hcg may not be that high yet to get a dark line. If you want confirmed can use clearblue advanced digital

There are tests you can take to find out reasons behind for infertility... You may want to do that?

Jth..dont give up..u can keep trying for the ivf! Im sure miracles will worked out for a person who dont gives up!

 

[lady_chris]

Hi ladies... Anyone in their 2ww?

No 2ww for me as this month my chance of ovulating is low (went to doc and my follicles not growing!!! Anyway I will be doing my first so-iui next month!! Excited and scared!!!

Good luck to those on 2ww!! Baby dust to ur!!

 

[grumpet]

in 2ww, this is really killing me ... im gonna test first thing tmr morning. should be 12 or 13 DPO, altho not getting my hopes up. my previous experience, i didn't get a positive when i missed my menses. but positive more than a week later. sadly i had early pregnancy losses.

for one of it, i actually went to polyclinic to get it confirmed.

Is the ClearBlue digital sensitive and is it re-usable?

Hi JTH

i am ard yr age, married late as well but my doc thinks 40 is still ok wheni told him i feel like we are running out of time.

u prob have gone thru some tests for Dr to give u that diagnosis.

Don't give up! Just want to share i recently read this book...
"Making Babies, A proven 3 month prog for max fertility" something like that. by Dr Sami and Jill Blakeway.

They give some possible case studies on unexplained fertility.
I found it an interesting read. could be infection, temperature of bath, etc.
not sure if that will be helpful to u.

 

[JTH]

There are tests you can take to find out reasons behind for infertility... You may want to do that?

Hi. Are you referring to the tests that need to do before ivf? Cos I have done that. Or is there any tests beside these?

 

[JTH]

Jth..dont give up..u can keep trying for the ivf! Im sure miracles will worked out for a person who dont gives up!

Thanks Sansan for the encouragement! Ya. I will give myself another two tries at most. Just wondering what I can do now to improve my chances. I've totally stop cold drink, eat healthy food,eat supplement, exercise, TCM,etc. Haiz....

Hi grumpet, first time heard Dr said 40 is still ok. So happy to hear that. Give us some hope. May i know where can I get the book you mentioned? Yes I know about avoiding hot bath during 2ww so I have avoided that at well in my last cycle. But.... haiz.... Anyway, clearblue digital is consider one of the best brand but cannot be reusable. Hope you can have a bfp this cycle!

yea, but he shld know what he is saying. A/ Prof and high risk preg specialist. i guess he meant it is still possible, which it definitely is.

i bought the book at Page One, book sale at The Cathay ... it was only $1, that's why i bought it. i might have taken the last copy there. that shop looks temp, on 3rd floor i think in front of escalator.

maybe try the bigger bookstores or u can order online amazon / kindle. link below:
https://www.amazon.com/Making-Babies-3-Month-Program-Fertility/dp/0316024503

oh ive not heard abt hot bath for 2ww ? Do u mean need to take cold shower?
in the book, they were referring more for the men, how hot baths can kill sperms. w specific temp mentioned.

I thought for 2ww, some warmth is good like putting warm water bottle (not hot) i have not tried this cos worried too warm is not good.
i just put my palms on the belly for few minutes.

 

[ttcbaby2]

Hi ladies, I think I'm in 2ww already 1dpo. Although my app say I will ovulate tml but had positive okp on fri and sat. Today will test again. If positive will make one last "dash"

Baby dust to everyone! For me is last dash for rooster baby!

 

[Adeline chan]

My mense hay wired de.. thats why i start using opk since cd 7... mine can 3 mths dun come de.. cos pcos..

Hello! You means your Menses

Hi baby1234,
I feel the same too. Tried for 1.5 years already. All my close friends who married much later than me were pregnant and happy with kids. This is so demoralising! What's more? My gynae is suspecting I may have endometriosis and referred me to KKH for more check-up. I am not sure how much more I can handle. I can just keep trying, hoping BFP will happen.

Hello! I feel you ;( Been trying near to 1.5 years but still no result. Menses was irregular but I had blood test and all even my husb got his checkup too and everything was fine. I'm on medication now for my Menses to come and just have to keep trying! Been feeling so discourage Hope we are receive a positive result soon!

Good luck!

Hi all, im been TTC for around atleast 5 cycles now. Was stressed and had anxiety attack for my last two cycle,thought i was pregnant cause AF came super late, then i get BFN. :'(

Anyway, i am trying again now. Any tips?

Also what's okp? Isit ovulation test kit? i tried the clearblue and i got a smiley face before. i read somewhere that even if u got smiley face they detect ur LH surge but u may still not ovulate(egg not release).. hmmm

i saw blood (( aunty came . sigh

i have had 2 MCs unfortunately ... i cant remember, but with both pregnancy i pee on opk from ard CD10. there are 10 strips.

I bought from a TCM shop, i think this was the only useful thing from my consultation. lol . i didn't know abt opk back then.

after a while, 1 or 2 rounds i know my ovulation time, so no need to pee on opk for 10 days. did it abt 5 to 6 days.

I didn't do opk or bbt this round, only CM. i think I'll try opk again.

I am sorry for your 2 MC. I know someone early 30s, she had a MC once and got pregnant a few months after.

Try again after this AF! I have yet to monitor my BBT and CM though. like too much work liao for me lol.

Clearblue is very sensitive but not reusable!

 

[ACB]

Hi. Are you referring to the tests that need to do before ivf? Cos I have done that. Or is there any tests beside these?

Nope, it's not those usual tests before ivf. Those tests before ivf are just to see if you are suitable and in good condition to conceive. The tests I'm referring to are tests that are specified to find out what is missing if you are missing in something to conceive. Example may be low in certain vitamins so you need to intake that

Once smiley face, it's good to start baby dance! See this chart on possibility on getting pregnant base on when u baby dance!

 

[ttcbaby2]

Just to share ladies The darkest bar orange bar being the ovulation date. Hence if u baby dance on ovulation date, chances of preggy is 33%. One day after ovulation no chance at all. Good to baby dance earlier prior to ovulation..

 

[BonjourBaby]

Hi peeps, I'm ttc-ing for #1 for years already. Also like many of you here, tried many different recommendations i.e. See gynaecologist & tried IUI twice, TCM, watching bt, take supplements, stop taking cold stuff.
I had one ectopic pregnancy & is left with one tube, many times chemical pregnancies.... that's why gynae didn't recommend IVF for me since I can get "chemical pregnant" by trying naturally.

This cycle is crazy again, I'm on CD74 now. Sighz

 

[Daledale]

Thanks ACB. Have you or anyone you know tried Dr Zou with positive results?

Me bfp with dr zou on my first fresh ivf. Her charges reasonable too.

So-iui not scary. Be brave. I had 2 failed so-iui and sucessful on my first ivf cycle. Baby dust to you.

Hi grumpet, first time heard Dr said 40 is still ok. So happy to hear that. Give us some hope. May i know where can I get the book you mentioned? Yes I know about avoiding hot bath during 2ww so I have avoided that at well in my last cycle. But.... haiz.... Anyway, clearblue digital is consider one of the best brand but cannot be reusable. Hope you can have a bfp this cycle!

I still bath warm water during tww. Just dont soak hot water bath tub etc during tww. Dont give up hope. I know a lady 40+ successful on her first fresh cycle. Jiayou dont give up. Baby dust to all of you.

 

[pluto123]

Hello ladies! Im new here.. and have a question. I wasnt monitoring anything (wasn't aware there were do many things to note until i found this forum!) and have only just started ttc with my dh.
I think my last period was during the last week of March but I cant remember the exact date. My cycles are pretty regular.. off a couple of days here n there. BD was on the recent saturday so it's day 6 now? I had a little spotting (brown&light diluted red) 3 days ago and yesterday. It has stopped today.. n i dont feel the light cramps anymore.
Is it too early to start getting excited?

For past 2 cycle, my Af is 2 days delay , with high bbt, usually Af is 14days after ovulation date, but that 2 cycle AF comes ard day 16 to 18 after ovulation. Is it chemical pregnancy? I tested but is BFN

If hav Chemical pregnancy, cant do ivf?
