Piyo, must cool down yah? And take care!!
Ladies: Just went for detailed scan! Smallberry is all curled up like a little prawn & clenching his fists! One hand up & the other at his buttoks. He has a cute button nose like mummy & daddy.. Kekek... The scan was done quite fast because bb was cooperative. And its CONFIRMED, its a mickey mouse! Everything is normal for smallberry & he weighs 340gm.
Wanted to take the video but the nurse don;t allow me to. Should have ask the nice sonographer when the nurse went out.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

welcome all newbies...
piyo, dont be too stressed.. i'm sure things will work out soon.
schnappi, u better already??
May, wow, 20k for a boy!! ur ILs really very biased leh.. hope u will have a son this time round but dont stress yourself too much..
May and lavender
from wat i know, Bding on the day of ovulation with deeper penetration will increase the chance of conceiving a boy while bding 2 or 3 days with shallow penetration w/o organsm will increase the chance of having a gal cos the female sperm swim slower but can survive longer
Acidic Diet - Eat lots of red meat, bananas, apricots and celery that are rich in potassium so as to improve the conditions for male sperm
Alkaline Diet - Eat lots of fish and leafy green vegetables, nuts and soya beans which are more magnesium-rich to improve conditions for female sperm
Not sure if above works but that's what most people tell me... let me know if it works for you

PiPi,
How long is your cycle normally?
If yours is a short cycle, you might be O-ing soon.
May,
Wah... ur in laws even offer $$!!! I understand your stress now...
shizuka,
I am over at Phoenix, Arizona. My mum already made it known to me not to have another baby here coz she's not coming to help with the confinement. As for my MIL, she can't take the long flight... So, if really have a baby here, my hubby needs to do the confinement for me. Hee hee... Good also coz he can take the chance and learn how to cook!
jopep,
Thanks for the tips... No harm trying... I will get my hubby to eat lots of BANANAS!!

hi, gals
got qn to ask abt using the O strips. instructions say to dip the strip in pee collected in a cup...can we pee on the strip instead?
yesteday first time using O strip at CD13, saw the test line almost same darkness as the control line, but threw away the strip in less than 5 mins as did not know hv to wait 5 mins.
issit i going to O, or already past O? mayb shld test again later in the afternoon....
2 days ago, was referred by co. doc to SATA to do a pelvis ultrasound as i've been having this cramp on left lower abd. the radiographer said she see something on left side, could be either a cyst or an egg waiting to burst. will only know the result in few days' time. really hope it's not a cyst. btw, if got cyst, will it cause prob when preggie?

when i have my boy i BD start 3 days after tested positive on ovulation kit. and also with organsm and deep penetration. After that i put a pillow below my butt for 10 mins b4 i clean up.
Both me and hubby are meat eater. We like beef alot. So we should be under the acidic diet. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
For me i didnt plan for baby boy or gal cos both me and hubby have problem so i took clomid and monitor my O loh. and my hubby took dong chong cha

elina,
What is CD13? I never use ovulation strip before, am thinking to get one set to try.
As for Cyst, my neighbour has got this when she is pregnant, her girl is 3yrs now. Gynae say the cyst will grow slowly with the child, if it is not too big, it is ok. But it is too big, the baby will need to be c-sect out earlier in order to remove the cyst. She managed to carry her baby till full term.
Recently I heard the cyst is back, she had been TTC for 4-6mths but unable to get pregnant. Gynae say the cyst might be the cause of it and given her medicine to decrease the size of it. If she were to operate again to remove it, chances of getting pregnant will be higher.
RE: Gender Selection Chart
I saw it in Xin Min newspaper the other day..asked all my colleagues that has kids to try and I try. 100% true. So I am using that for my 2nd one. I can only conceive from May-Sep this yr for BOY. Anyone interested can PM me, I will scan and email u the chart.
RE: Alkaline vs Acidic Diet
Will try to eat more acidic diet these few months. Quite true for Alkaline to try for girl.. my hb loves fish alot and soya bean milk. I will drill him now to eat more meat and banana. Hahaha..

Hi May Wong,
Its quite hard to find PH test strip on the market. I got it from a industrial building at Bukit Batok. Try to go on a Alkaline Diet for 2-3 mths. Don't test your urine once you wake up in the morning. Do test it on your 2nd urine of the day. You will tend to see that the ph level of your urine will increase during the day (provided that you are strictly on Alkaline Diet).
Can you email me the chart? You can advise your hubby to eat more zinc supplements too.

Am actually thinking of adopting..i dunno knw...just so sad..dunno wat's wrong...no problem but yet cannot conceive [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] also not getting young already.

Hi all,
Am a newbie, used to be over at singaporebrides forum as i just got married last Sep/Oct & am now glad to be here ttc for my #1. ;o)
We havent quite try as yet but would very much like to try this month onwards. Not sure if am overly excited trying for a baby or not coz havent really quite started & hv already been reading up stuff & even thinking of buying ovulation strips which my hubby felt a bit "overly stress" at this point... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/kao_blush.gif]
I have a tad of an irregular cycle. My average cycle is ab 40days which probably meant out of 12months, my cycles sometimes only reported 10times instead of the normal 12. Hence in this case, does ovulation strips work for me huh?? *scratch head*
there seems to be quite a crowd here, definitely need some time to remember who's who ;o) ... Anyway, lotsa baby dust to all. =)
To storeberry,
hey CONGRATS on yr little berry =) ..do eat lotsa & rest well =)
To piyobaby,
sorry to hear that u are a bit "fan" nowadays but do chin up ya...sometimes life is as such...things will get better, am sure =)
& i cannot remember who's trying for ab 2.5years or 3 now...*memory not serving me too well...cough cough* lol ...Dont give up, my mum tried for 8years before she has my brother...some people juz takes a bit more time...& with all the medical techniques being so advance nowadays, just stay positive, baby's on the way ; )
LOTSA LOTSA baby dust to all =)

Hi piyo,
I've done 1 IUI already but failed so i'm not pinning high hopes on other infertility treatments. Besides, i'll be too stressed out to go tru' the whole procedure again especially for IVF, i heard & read that there's a lot of injections, medications etc etc...really freak me out..IVF will be my last resort i guess if things really don't work out..shall c how.
Butter,
i always use OPK to track my ovulation every month b4 we BD so we r actually doing it on the right days & timing. i'm using clearblue digital OPK so we BD whenever i c a happy face.
Wish a boy
I really envy u. u already have 2 children. My dream is to have 2 kids but looking at my situation & predicament, i'll be extremely happy & grateful just to have 1.
