A place for the TTCs.. (Trying To Conceive)
- Thread starter linda
- Start date
Melody , its not th cost really but her wrong diagnosis makes me lost all the trust in her. I had high hopes like you when I first visited her cos my friend also recommends her. But when she diagnose me so irresponsibly ( at least to me), I have no more faith in her professionalism. According to my current TCM doc, you cannot diagnose someone with PCO, endo etc just by taking pulse.
Babyhope,
I see i see...That means after seeing her, u got go to another gynae to re-confirm her diagonsis ah? That what my mum told me too, how can she be so clever, just by taking pulse can know what happened "inside"...This is y i find her amazing...I try for few months first...I know piggy no hope liao, i aim for mickey mouse....=)

melody,
I agree with babyhope, my TCM also told me not possible to diagnos a person with PCOS and Endo.
She is not super amazing, but anyhow HENTUM. She say exactly the same thing to me when i went last time. Guess what, she haven't take my pulse leh. immediately say that... hmmm i suspect you have PCOS...etc etc that is why so difficult to conceive. DAH.... where got like that one.
Somemore I am very very sure that I don't have...I just went for pre-conception checkup. My gyane is very good at V-scan and ultra-scan.

hi roxyz,
CD16, CD17 test line darker and thicker than the control line. But CD18, its fainter, and jagged lines...so i am not very sure.
we BD on these 3days as well..so pray hard for me!!
2WW refers to the two weeks right after ovulution and AF come right? meaning i am in DPO3/4 today?
if i encounter any pain or cramps or spotting next few days...got chance right?
I will test today to ensure again
TTC, can you advise us (esp newbies of the LH strip) on how we can interpret the strip,and usually how many days do we expect a +ve?
Thank you

Hi Ladies,
My virgin post in this thread. Congrats to all Moms to be
I have been reading the thread faithfully everyday to steal TTC secrets =P Just started to TTC and had 2 failed cycles so far Have gone to my gynea for the basic check up (not pre-pregnancy tests) and her advice was to try for 1year before going back to her. I guess I will continue to do so although I feel rather stressed by the whole process. On top of that, DH and I have 2 different polar of character. He feels that we should take it all naturel and leave it to nature while I hope to strike ASAP. In fact he got mad at me when he found out that I have purchased the OPKs Now I am testing it secretly, like a little girl doing a bad deed =P
OT abit. I did a bit of a research on my own and I realized that in order for us to produce more CM, we should take more alkaline food as opposed to acidic food. Alkaline food are basically more fruits and vegetables - Banana, Apple, Orange, Grapes (RED), Cauliflower, Broccoli, Carrot, etc. Acidic Food are generally meats, fish, coffee/tea, etc. The general guide is 80% Alkaline and 20% Acidic. I guess we should take the guideline with a pinch of salt and just try to include more fruits and vegetables into our diet while cutting down on meat and caffeine.
For those who are prone to UTI, drinking cranberry does not help cure UTI. It is suppose to wash out the bacteria but I do not think it aids in preventing or curing UTI. On top of that, Cranberry Juice and Barley water are supposed to be acidic in nature. To prevent UTI and virginal infection, I have been relying on Yogurt for its healthy bacterial. Try to take those which are less sweet as infections and bacteria thrive when we increase our intake of sugar.
I used to take EPO for PMS. However I have since stopped after I found a tiny fibroid. Now I rely on discipline. I try to cut down caffeine, cold drinks/food and I take a lot of parsley. It does not prevent cramps but it does reduce the severity.
Hopefully my sharing is useful. However, I must maintain that these are personal views and experience only. Happy TTCing

Hi Kylene,
I remember reading somewhere that EPO might contribute to fibroids. So I stopped just to be on the safe side. But my gynea don't seemed to think EPO has any side effects. So its really a personal thing Don't be too bothered by it if you have been taking it all the while. HTH

Hi Maple,
I read somewhere that say a woman does not ovulate monthly. The maximum is 8times per year (general). Therefore, the general concensus is that if you have been trying without protection for 12mths, 2-3 times per week, you should get pregnant within a year. Therefore if you don't then you should seek a doctor's advise. I am not going to wait 1year. I will most definately go back to her in 6months. Cause if I were to wait 1 year I will be 30 -.-"""

Hi Maple,
Good luck. May you strike this cycle. I agree with you totally. I also went ahead to order some OPKs. I did it even though my DH was strongly against it =P. I just didnt want to waste my precious cycles. If I had been younger, maybe I won't be so anxious. But like what you say, no energy now. With our kind of lifestyle, once or twice a week can laugh le.
Hi Melody,
Share with you a TCM experience that I had (its not related to TTC though). I was very sick last year. I would get a flu or viral attack almost every month. Some months, I get it twice. My period also became very irregular and I started to develop acne problems too. Ultimately, I went to see the TCM at Chong Hwa due to its reputation. I went through 4 course of medicine. 1 of the course was those where you had to boil and drink continuously for 7days. The sinseh also did asked if my problem was related to my period and at that point, I did not think much of it. Later my gynea said, my problem could be due to hormone inbalance. After seeing him , my health gradually improved. I do still get mild flu but comparing to previously, I would say its so much better I am glad I made a step to see him. Best of all, my period is back to normal now. I am not implying that Chong Hwa's sinseh are god. But looking at your sitution, I strongly advise you seek a 2nd opinion in order to not waste time and money. If you read carefully, there are many sinsehs who specialise in fertility too. For your information, some of the symptoms for ENDO is Weight Gain, Acne and Unbearable Cramp. Ask yourself if you have the symptoms then decide if you want to seek another opinion. Just my 2cents worth

I asked my gynae the same question, he said that as long as we have regular cycles, it is safe to assume that we are ovulating every month
