symptoms

Congrats Reei. What a beautiful X'mas present for you and your partner. As to the other ladies, better luck in 2008. I have been seeing a TCM practitioner at Baptist University. So far so good. At least , PMS is not as bad as before. Might be something good from taking all the Chinese herbs.

Babydust to all!
 
MayC and TTC2 - thanks for the thoughts! I'm alright. A little sad because was really hoping and even hubby was crossing his fingers and legs too! We were hoping to get the best christmas present only to be faced with the AF christmas morning.

Now chillin at the beach with hubby and son and generally enjoying except when i see little babies! And then i am overcome with baby lust! ;-)

I will be seeing my doctor after the holidays, seeing as it is that my cycle is not right again. Spotted for almost 2 weeks and when AF came, it was irregularly heavy for at least 4 days. I normally have moderate-light periods and cramps were really bad. I wonder what could be wrong this time. Also, my hormones seem to be on overdrive as I developed gigantic pimples on my face. I never get them. Oh well, will know for sure when i see the doctor.

Happy New Year Girls!
 
Symptoms

My period is late again. It was due 30th Dec and I am guessing its the holiday blues. Why can't my period be on time? Ever since the miscarriage it has not been steady at all, has anyone experienced this? I'm starting to feel cramps as well. I bet AF is going to pay me a visit this weekend. I'm so upset.:mad:
 
MayC, how are you doing? w hat day are you on? hang in there we're all rooting for you.

Josoo, hope AF has stayed away. how are you feeling?

Not much to report on my end. I should ovulate this weekend. BD time!
:grouphug:
 
AF came on 8th after a visit to TCM doctor. Decided to go to my TCM doctor regularly, will be there tomorrow as well. Going to keep on trying, but hard to take it easy. We are going away for CNY so the holiday should relax me...hopefully.
 
Josoo, sorry to hear about AF. CNY is just round the corner. You need a holiday from this stress. Hang in there.

MayC + MickeyM - how are you?

Well I went to my Dr for my annual check-up. I shocked him when I told him we're TTC. Apparently I have PCOs. I am still ovulating and my period is regular, but my uterine lining is thin 8.5mm. He wants me to do the dye test and have hubby tested as well. We talked briefly about Metformin, but I'd like to try on my own for another 2-3months. Plus Mickey he's asked me to loose some weight too. Have also put on 10kg since my first.

MickeyM, MayC - read you did the dye test. was it painful. can you share.
 
dye test wasn't very painful, or maybe i just have a really high tolerance for pain. but really, nothing like the contraction cramps we get at all! just a feeling of discomfort is all there is to it.

they give you a painkiller like an hour before the procedure to also help you. the process doesn't take more than half an hour. doctors/nurses are very gentle and are very attentive to the level of pain you are experiencing. the only discomfort is when they inject the catheter that will be used to get the dye in. that's it.

don't be nervous. you've had a child. we are all better in pain management after having children right? ;-)
 
Hi I've been following this thread for a while and have finally mustered the courage to join. My daughter is now 14 months I we TT#2 for 6 months now. We conceived her very quicky and thought the second time round would be the same. It's taking a while. I am 3 days late. I took a HPT 3 days ago and it was negative.Feel like AF is approaching but never seems to appear. I am quite regular and am hopeful yet weary at the same time. I want to take another HPT but am worried to see no second line..... Don't have HPT handy so need to go buy one.....maybe I'll wait until tomorrow.....but the suspense is quite overwhelming!!!!!
 
MayC thanks for the well wishes especially since your eye is blurry yet you are so positive. It means a lot!!!

Still no AF for me???
 
Hang in there Mai! we are all hoping and keeping our fingers crossed for you.

MayC - I'm good. expecting AF this week. I feel the symptoms already and it's right on time. So at least cycle is back. Hoping for a faster recovery on your eye problem
 
Hi MickeyMom,

Thanks will take test again tomorrow morning if AF doesn't come. I'm glad your cycle is back on track so you will know when to do the BD ;p
 
Hi Girls, sorry have been traveling got swamped with work!

MayC, was getting worried about you. sorry to hear about your eye injury. hope its healing well.

Mai, Welcome! How did the test go? We're eagerly waiting for results.

MickeyM - Thanks for sharing. Will schedule the dye test next month. Am a bit scared.

My Dr has also DX with me PCOS, my cycles are regular. Failed again last month. Decided to take a break this month from the temping. Should be ovulating this week, but my LO is sick and has been sleeping with us. :(

Kung Hei Fat Choy to all! Hope we have some Year of the Rat babies!

Hello, Hello!

How is everyone doing? It's nice to see the weather is finally getting warmer. Was too cold to BD these past couple of weeks. I'm almost at the end of another cycle. Am cramping today, and I figure AF will visit in the next day or so. We only got to BD once so chances of +ve are slim.

Has anyone read the Fertility Diet yet? Have read a few discussions online and a newsweek article
http://www.newsweek.com/id/73354

Apparently we need 2 servings of Full Fat Milk a day. The hormones in FF Milk help improve fertility.

LO calling me. Will post more later

Hi Everyone! Where are you all? Everyone has disappeared.

MayC how are you doing? MickeyMom how's it going? Missing you all!!

Am in better spirits this month. AF finally over and its BD time. Have been taking Vitamin E capsules, which I read is the Fertility Vitamin and also B complex which helps regulate my hormones. I was getting really bad headaches from PMS.
 
Wish I could give you a big HUG MayC,!

Have also had a low month. I ovulated last weekend, but DH was sick and we didn't BD. I was so upset. Actually am still upset.

I heard about Brangelina &@#$%!

Have a lovely holiday.

More Babydust to all!
 
either brangelina is Mother and father of fertility... or they have a dedicated fertility expert staying at their house and temping them all day hahahaha
 
Hi MayC,

I do know how you feel. Been through IUIs, TCM, basically the works. The emotional rollercoaster is the worst. The $$, basically we are bleeding cash. Just hang in there and hope and pray that Clomid works for you. Fingers and toes crossed!
 
MayC,

I have been reading this thread for some time now, I understand how u must feel. I went thru this whole process for 5 years, running to different drs, doing the cycles and then waiting for the tests etc. I know how expensive it can be but more than that the emotional toll that takes on you is extreme, It also has physical toll on your body. Talking from my experience, it felt like that our lives had come to a full stop, all we did was talk about when to do it, what test more to what the dr said etc everything in our life simply stopped existing. Finally just when i was to give up we had our son and of course u forget all the pain that u have been thru, but honestly speaking i will not go thru that procedure again and put my life on hold. I also feel that my son should have a sibling but at the expense of him i dont think it is worth it. I will miss giving him a lot of things/ miss spending quality time with him/ miss being with my husband.

I salute u for being so courageous but feel( that is a personal opinion) that u might just be happy with the one child u have. My husband wanted 3 kids for ever as all his siblings have 3 kids but when when we didnt even have one, he made his peace with it and now that we have one he is even more thankful for our son .

Best of luck to all u who are trying our best wishes are alwasy with u

Neha
 
Welcome back MayC! I'm with you and am not ready to give up yet.

Went for a blood test last week to check my FSH levels. Also have to schedule the dye test this week. Will go over the results with my Dr next week.
