Oh, I don't mean yr colleague bluff. Apologies. The TCM lady may hv made claims tt we were not wise to catch her in. Initially we believed her & went str to Dr Chen. After spending some precious time, flights (we were overseas) then & consultation fees, we checked around & found not necessary.

Hi all, I have been ttc for 1.5 years. Recently decided to go to TFC for consultation and found out that I have a good ovarian reserve but not really ovulating and would be going for HSG test this week to check whether the tubes are blocked.
I had hyperthyroid since 15 yo and later become hypothyrotism after iodine treatment. My TSH level have been fluctuating between 3.7 and 5 for the last year and I just realise that the TSH should be approximately 2 if I am ttc so gynae advised me go back to my thyroid doctor to adjust med dosage. Not sure if it is because if the stress, my menses have become more haywire this few months too. I am wondering whether does TCM helps with such problems. Anyone have any experience?

Hi rafiki; i,m seeing dr tan from clementi & will b doing ivf this coming cycle... been with him for ard 10mths alrdy..but still no luck.. so go for ivf straight..don wanna waste anymore time ..Hi, been TTC-ing for about 1.5 years. Early this year, did 2 times of IUI at NUH but not successful. I decided not to try for the 3rd time and now I am seeing TCM Dr Tan from Clementi. During my first appt, he did acupuncture on me and was given some herbs to be taken before ovulation. Now after ovulation, I am taking the "an tai yao".
I also went to pray for Zhu Sheng Niang Niang in Toa Payoh and taken 2 red eggs.
Anyone seeing Dr Tan and at the same time planning to do IVF?

Hi Shigure1234, when are you going to start IVF? Do you plan to continue with Dr Tan's acupuncture and chinese medicine while doing IVF? I already thought of stopping Dr Tan's treatment and going to IVF straight. I don't think i can take his medicine for so long. But I am not sure if his medicine and his acupuncture should go hand-in-hand with IVF
Hiii everybody.. I am a little bit confused with my clearblue OPK test.. i have checked 4 days in a row and the results are all smiley face.. is it common to have same result like this for 4 days or more? i thought ovulation should happen 12-48 hours after the first smiley face? Thanks!
Hi rafiki; i going to start ivf the coming cycle.. dr tan told me acupuncture hand in hand w ivf..but i think i will stop during my ivf.. because everytime i kinda nervous everytime i do acupuncture.. so i don wan to add more stress to myself.. mayb i jus take the medicine will do...Hi Shigure1234, when are you going to start IVF?

after i test positive on opk, i will stop testing, cos if ovulation occur, egg will release btw 12-36 hours, no point to test as the result will all have smiley face.
Ah okay! So i dont need to keep checking until flashing smiley face occur is it? Thanks..
Anyone encounter this? Is the kit faulty or consider negative when control bar no line but surge have line??
Hi hugs. Maybe rest 1 or 2 mths then try again. Jiayou.Please let me rant. I really feel like giving up. Month after month, I got only BFNs. God, please give me strength!
Hi all! I am new to this forum. Married since Late 2014, went to KKH to do fertility tests in Dec 2016 when we did not conceive naturally after 2 years of marriage. My cycles were going wonky for 1 year plus (30 to 52 days cycles!) because of work and life stages transition (single to married + staying with inlaws).
Tests were all good - hubs sperm mortility was alright and my tubes are not blocked. Took letrozole for 3 - 4 months and helped to make my cycles go back to normal. Unfortunately I still wasn't getting pregnant, so doc at KKH asked if i wanted to go for IUI. In the end I decided not to, for now.
Meanwhile I realise I have subclinical hypothyroidism (which means based on the blood tests all the hormones are fine except TPO. My antibiotics are attacking my thyroid but the thyroid is still functioning okay. Have symptoms of hypothyroid - weight gain, brain fog, anxiety) which I was told western medication has no treatment for this. Decided to see the famous Dr Tan Siew Buay at Chinatown for the past 3 months to 'tiao' my body holistically - including thyroid probs which she said TCM can help.
Just wondering if anyone has subclinical hyperthyroidism and managed to conceived? And also anyone has or have heard ladies getting pregnant after seeing Dr Tan and how long did it take them to get pregnant?
Baby dust to all! Jiayou in this journey together

yes , as yahisaMai said, Levothyroxine is the standard western meds. (Glad to hear u managed to stabilised yr conditions, YajisaMai ). I am also taking Lexothyroxine and TSH under 2 is good and optimal level of TSH for pregnancy is 1, cos the moment u are pregnant, baby will need yrs to support.

ladies,
what is your TSH level?
if my TSH 2.3, is it consider as normal or as sub hypothyroidism? TPO level I don't know, never did that blood test. I asked my rheumatologist last week about my TSH, seems she does't know... Which doctor should I ask about hypo?
Bought iodized salt just for prevention..
