kao_confused.gif
 
dareve,
it's better to drink 1 glass of water b4 bd... then try to go toilet b4 and after bd... tis will minimize the chance of getting uti...
hope tis method helps for you...
 
rainstone.. but do u feel uncomfort with alot of water in bladder during BD? sometime i feel uncomfort so din drink that much just before BD
sad.gif
 
For early miscarriage, its also called chemical pregnancy where u will test +ve with pregnancy kit, but then AF come later
 
But go toilet immed after BD, will the semen be washed out, thus lower possibility of conceiving?

I used to have this habit.. but TTC try to not to go toilet immed after BD liao.
 
Tks for the info bluelily, but my AF is not due yet....the cycle just went hay wire....Im not supose to come so early and before that I have spotting last weekend which is Dpo6
 
hi dareve
There are many cases of m/c eg blighted ovum whereby the yoke sac is larger than the embroyo or where there is only a yoke sac and totally no bb at all ie the body mistakes the yoke sac for bb and only grows yoke sac and doesnt develop bb. Also have chemical pregnancy like what joline mentioned.
Sometimes when bb is not healthy, ie when sperm and egg merged, it wasnt ideal or some chromosomes were missing/too many chromosomes (>46), bb will not be healthy and either bb stop growing/heartbeat stop and body will self abort.

Hope none of us here ever have to go through a m/c odeal
 
Wao..This thread is moving real fast..Hmm, is it true that when we are pregnant, hormones are changing so, if usually u are rather sickly , then when u are pregnant, u will have no symptoms??? Then vice-versa, if u are usually quite healthy, will have uneasy symptoms?? *unsure*
 
DarEve, my cycle also gone crazy, AF came at CD23 and now after 8 days of AF, i still have some spotting. I din test for HPT before AF came so i also dunno if i have chemical preg, don tik so.
 
Oh just wan to add - now 9 days of AF still some spotting haven clear, wonder whats happening? Anyone knows?
 
wonders how accurate are those ovulution calender.
mine calculated to be 4th fertile,with ovulution on 9th.
meaning if i test LH strip, should show +ve onli on the 8th??
(coz these two days tested, -ve)
fertile - BD, chance of conceive is not high right.
gota be O, BD within two days, then rate is high?
correct?
 
thanks apple lee....

can smeone advise me on dis... i koe i abit KS lahz... missed my AF a few days...so, chk on pregnancy test... it looks positve but is not s obvious s the control line... does it mean m pregnant??? o shld i wait a wk later?
 
jasmine, congrats...looks like u are preggie.... maybe u may want to test again a few days later, to confirm the result again. =)

did my test on thursday, -ve again. guess my mind is making my body believe i am preggie, thus giving me false symptoms. AF still haven't report this month. :-(

anyone feeling like me? every month waiting for the result is like waiting for sentence verdict. every month i am given a death sentence again and again. when can i be released from my prison cell???

i told hubby i was very sad with the test result. hubby said he rather not have baby, he don't want to see me sad over this every month. i was so touched by his words. i really thanks hubby for giving me so much mental and physical support during TTC.
 
Hi Bluelily,

If you refer to my earlier posting, then u will know. Coz my report card in the past is v poor. So now I juz hope my little pig will be strong enuf to live past this 9mths.
 
Hi jasmine,

If got 1 faint and 1 strong, there is a likely u might be pregnant but HCG still not so strong yet. Maybe u wait for another week and test again, if still the same, better go c a GP for a blood test if u want better accuracy.

Hi sgblingff,

Its normal to feel this way and in fact of the TTCers in this thread always hv this problem. When AF comes, we get terribly upset. When AF dun come, we wonder is it good news or something wrong.

Try not to stress yourself too much as its not gg to help in this journey. Relax and take it easy and u nvr know u might be in for surprise.

hi girls, dun give unnecessary guessing on chemical pregnancy with implementation spot. Chemical pregnancy is proven with +ve hpt and subsequently AF came...for my case, i have past my luteal phrase and BBT temp still high and im test with +ve... but if we haven pass the luteal phrase, guess it cant prove we are preggie
 
Hi Ladies,

Can someone help me here. Yesterday, at CD14, i have some bleeding. Not sure wat is it? n im quite worried. Anyone has any idea?
 
Hi Anyone has Dr Lawrence Ang's hp no? im tinking of calling him to check.Last time he gave me a namecard but i have misplaced it.
 
Ladies,
I went to Chinese physican n found out that i have PCOS & adenomyosis/endometriosis (think they are the same), will they affect my fertility?? IM so sad n scared now, coz im rather young lei OMG!!!..She aso told me my fallopian tubes is not straight, that y i cant ovulate..Can someone advise me? Thanks!! I have been recommended by her to go to Gleneagles for a detailed scanning..She recommended Christopher Chen..Anyone have been seen by him? Good a not??
 
vivian, that's what i read before.. maybe you want to call up your gynae... melody, dont be scare by the chinese physician, its better to be confirm by gynae... i read from internet that HSG can tell the shape of the tube so how did your chinese physician confirm that your tube not st?
 
Hi Melody,

Did you went to the Chinese physican in Jurong East? If yes, she also said the same thing to me. I didn't go to Christopher Chen. Go search on the forum and found out that he is VERY EXPENSIVE (1st consulutation can up to $1k) and there were a few couple who when thru his treatment, spend a lot of money but didn't get pregnant. Eventually, most of them got pregnant naturally!

My cousin recommend me to this JE Chinses Physican coz she helped her pregnant. She told my cousin the same thing but my cousin didn't go for the check up with Christopher. Just took her medicine and she strike. I took my cousin advise to just take her medicine but end up having high fever. At the end, I went to other gynae for the checkup and I'm clear.

PCOS and Endometriosis are different. PCOS is about our ovaries producing too many follicus but there is no egg or hinder the egg to mature. (hope I get this right cos it been a while since I do the research)
Endometriosis is about the backflow of menses causing the uterus lining to thicken and appear cycst like particals in the uterus lining.

Did she prescribe medicine for you? Till date we still thinking why she prescribe medicine if we have all this problems (she also say my husband got male factor problem. If her medicine help, why need to go for detailed scanning? If she want a detail scan to solve all these problems, she shouldn't have give us medication in the 1st place. She should identify the problem then solve it.

Seek 2nd opinion!

Hi all

This is my 3rd month ttcing. Found this thread really relevant so would like to join in.

Hi DarEve

I also encountered spotting on 6DPO. I saw pinkish discharge after I cleared my bowels. It lasted for 2 days and stopped. Did you also have exactly same situation as me? I really hope someone will shed some light on this. This is the second time in these 3 months I have encountered it.

Thanks. Appreciate anyone who can help!
 
hi tweetie, thanks for the comforting advice.
i just needed a space to let out my feelings, i'll be alright. and i won't give up trying ttc, just like so many of the girls in this thread.

i have another question. will one have occasional clear discharge or clear liquid droplets when preggie?
 
Apple Lee,
Yup...I just went to see her...So ex ah? I dunno lei, coz she said he is the cheapest liao..I have book appt with Dr Chen liao le..But i only do scanning to see if my fallopian tubes n uterus are alright a not, is it also so ex?
 
Apple Lee,
Yup, she got prescribe medicine for me, she said if i believe her, then for the scanning...Im so confused now, as to go a not after seeing your post...The 1st consultation u mentioned which is near to $1k consists of what?? Normal scanning??
 
Hmm... Melody, cant help but to add in... Go seek a second opinion from another TCM doctor. Dun go scanning first. How can everyone get PCOS or endo? Sigh!

Hi Melody,

Huh? Believe her, then go for the scanning? If believe her, then why need to go for scanning?

Well, I didn't go to visit Dr. CC. My cousin's friend went and she spend ard $1k. Don't know what tests she went through. That's when I was taken aback. Whether it's true or not, I don't know. But I thought, just let you know to be prepared (in case...)

Why don't you call up the clinic to check on their pricing? I've done HSG with my own gynea for around $180. Compare the price 1st?

Actually, after visiting her, I went to polyclinic and got a refer letter to KKH. Cheaper to do it in KKH. Did 2 blood tests and U/S. All clear.

If you really decided to go to Dr.CC, please don't commit to the sugerical procedure on 1st appointment. Go back and think or seek 2nd opinion.

You be the judge, I have found another thread:

hi to all, not sure whether u gals believe in TMC... i went to seek a chinese physician b4... given me medicines...he also c my hubby 2... quite accurate wif his result... but, gotto go early s he closes his shop quite early n lots of pple would usu queue up way b4 he opens...

Hi Apple Lee,
Thanks!! Actually this chinese sinseh was recommended my friend. she aso got referred to Dr CC before, she aso "alarmed" me abt the surgical stuffs, she said just go for scanning first, then show the reports to the chinese sinseh then see how..Actually i just to double confirmed if i have PCOS...Can help me ask your cousin's friend if u dun mind how come she spend $1k on her first consultation? I have called n asked already, but i dunno what is the name of the scanning that can check if i have PCOS & endo, so i just asked for the first consultation fees, is $140 n above...
 
hi melody,

I strongly recomend you go and visit anothe gynae to confirm. if you read through the YIng chuan thread you will realise. there seems to be some kind of conspiracy between the two doc.

I went to her (JE TCM) once and totally not convince with what she told me. She also said the same thing to me. I can very sure that I don't have cos i went to do full checkup before with my gyane and never say such a thing. she also prescribe medication to me, i just throw it away.

DO you have irregular menses? is your menses always come with bad cramp, so bad that you can't even walk? if you don't have both, I can tell you quickly that you have neither PCOS or endo.
 
melody - have you done any pre-conception checkup before? if you haven't do so. and if you really want to go doc CC, do not review to me you are recomended by the JE TCM. then just say you want to do pre-conception checkup. in this way, you will know how good is he.

i am quite curious why you go to TCM, hope you don't mind to share with me
 
Hi Melody,

Sorry, I would like to help but my cousin said she has lost contact with her friend. What I gather from the threads are he charges don't come cheap!

Good luck!

Melody, this is exactly wat happen to me too when I go and see the JE doc and thats why i caution you against seeing her earlier on. Although the gyn that I visit prior to seeing her did not diagnose me with all the illness, I was very worried when she told me I had all the same illness as what you are saying now and even heed her advice to see CC. And I spent close to $500 just doing a scan and prescibed a box of metafomin (which luckily I did not take). Then I chance upon this website and saw the remarks on both the docs and decided to seek second opinion to confirm. I went to KK and luckily, it all turn out negative. I have weak ovulation system but not PCO or endo or andenometrisis. Hence, please really go and see a second opinion but not fr CC. cos I am very sure he will confirm the same illess as the JE TCM.
