symptoms

mayc,

for the pak fung yuen, take it twice after you finish your menstruation. say you finish today, have one tomorrow night and one more the day after tomorrow.
then don't take anymore until your next period finishes.

i am also trying now, and if i dont' get pregnant after 6 months, i'll go try the chinese doctor that nanzbier recommended.
good luck to us..

josoo - it must be difficult for us to ask you not to worry too much, well, try to watch more tv, get occupied, so u r too tired to think.. and worry.
 
I'll try...my husband is away as well for work. I don't want to bother him about it. But gals, I'm not puking...some say it may be a boy. Because most of my friends that carry boys crave meat and dont' puke...is that true? I guess it's just silly comments.
 
josoo, when i was pregnant with my second one, i went for a scan at 6 weeks, they saw a sac but no heart beat. i was also measuring 5 weeks. the doctor told me because there was no heartbeat, he thought i would miscarry over the weekend. i was a wreck that weekend, but when i went back on tues, i saw the heartbeat and i was indeed measuring 6.5 weeks, i ovulated later than the scan measured me. i also have 32-35 days cycles so i always ovulate later than what the scan says. sometimes these scans are not that accurate in the early weeks, when is your next appt?
 
I am still worried and its hard not to, because counting down the days is the most difficult part. The first trimester is scary. My next appointment is next Thursday and I'm so scared that I'll still see no heartbeat.

He says the scan measured me at 5-weeks, approximately GS 6.2mm, and that he was surprised it was sooooo small. I nearly cried! This was this Tuesday. Was your GS that size then Mintycat? Sigh...

My doc has always been a very safe guy and he even warned me "if you bleed between now and then, just come in right away". But he also said "the baby may have stopped growing and if that's the case, you have to be realistic, but your ovulation might be late aswell. therefore only time will tell. please come back and see me towards the end of next week".

My ovulation has been much longer than ususal - anywhere from 32-40 days and it's never on time.

I'm scared...
 
I don't remember the gestational measurement as it has been almost a year ago. I remember I went to the doc's office on a Thursday and he told me I might bleed over the weekend and if so, it was a blighted ovum that caused the miscarriage. Monday was a public holiday and it was the longest wait in my life ever. I know what you are going through.

I won't tell you to relax and not think about it because I know you can't. Just know I will be thinking and praying for you. I think it is very likely that you may have ovulated late. The doctor's calculation of the due dates are always based on the ultrasound. For my 2 kids, they have always been 1-2 weeks earlier than my own calculations which is based on my chart (taking temperatures).

Keep us posted.
 
Thanks for the thoughts and prayers Mintycat. I have 8 days to go...it'll be the longest time of my life.
 
Hello!

This looks like a supportive group. Hope I can join you. Hubby and I are ready to try for #2. Our first is already 4 and although we both wanted more kids, it was never the right time. We're both in our late thirties, and I'm sure its going to be difficult. I've been reading up on cervical mucous and cough syrup.

My Dr says I should worry about all of that and just should relax and try seducing my hubby first. I went shopping and bought some sexy lingerie, had my first Brazilian wax and am going to give it a shot this month.

Have been monitoring my cycle these past few months and its now 25-27days. I figure I should be ovulating next weekend. My question should we be doing it every day or every other day next week?

Thanks ladies for sharing your stories. Hope we can all conceive together. :grouphug:
 
TTC#2 you are so awesome for putting so much effort into it! It's almost become a chore...hahah... esp cuz I've been trying for 6 months for #2. I've been obsessed with peeing on an ovulation stick and never knowing when I ovulate since everytime I pee on that stick it comes out with 2 lines. Very irritating! I was recommended to two websites to find out when you ovulate: http://www.fertilityfriend.com and the ovulation predictor on http://www.babycenter.com
I was told to do it every other day...but with the first one we did it everyday.
 
Thanks for all the support everyone, it has surely helped. I had nausea for the entire day yesterday. I didn't have any nausea today, but it started just after dinner, and after a big piece of steak as well! Talk about the baby wanting red meat and tons of it!!!

I recommend not doing it everyday, but every other day, because the sperm is supposed to last 2-3 days. Doing it everyday will dilute the sperm and it's taxing on both of you. But do get tons of lingerie and go on short trips, even Macau, just to get away from the stale bedroom at home. It's harder as you get older, but a nice candle-light dinner and a bottle of wine is ideal, but I have to say we have conceived both times when we were both so stressed.

I fell pregnant this time during my house-move. After unpacking 30 boxes, I told my hubby "tonight is our last chance", he said "you have got to be kidding me" and I think we concieved that night if my dates are correct. I was stressed at work that week and had to move apartments, it was dreadful...but its when you least expect it.

Its Saturday tomorrow...I have another four and a half days to wait till my next scan. :yeah2
 
Thanks Ladies..

the shopping was actually fun and the wax....well it was nothing compared to labour pains. You're right the love-making is a bit of a chore. Both hubby and I work, and after a long day, jumping each other is the last thing on our minds. :haha:

Nanzbier, hope we get lucky this month. thanks for the links. have just signed up with FF.

Josoo, praying for you too. Hang in there.

I called Dr. Derek Lo's clinic this morning and earliest appointment I got was for Aug 4. His receptionist sounded very nice and acommodating, far from the others i've had a chance to talk to before. I felt good right away.

thanks for the reco Rani. Have read the reviews about Dr. Lo in this site and feel comfortable seeing him.

Hi MickeyMom, how was your consultation with Dr. Derek? Did you start on some investigations?

Best of luck!
 
Gals, the baby has not grown that much in the past week. I went back for a check today and they took my blood test. They are going to test my HCG levels and I have to go back on Saturday. It doesn't seem like its looking good. I just cried my eyes out. I am so lost. If my HCG levels increase a lot by Saturday, then it may be because the baby is growing very slowly, which isn't normal either. I'm trying to stay positive, but it's really hard. Has anyone had a similar experience? I'm so sad...
 
my sister in-law who gave birth almost three weeks ago was also told that the baby did not grow well and no heart beat in her 2nd visit (i think close to 8 weeks) to the doctor but she refused to believe it and she went back 5 days later, the same doctor found the heartbeat and changed the EDD day, she gave birth to a healthy 7.4lbs baby girl in less than 3 hours.

There is hope so cheer on!
 
hi mborges,
my appointment with dr. lo was re-scheduled to aug 17 (he had to attend to an emergency surgery on my supposed appointment). Will update everyone once i get to see him
MM
 
josoo, i am sorry to hear about that. i just want to give you a hug. hope your numbers increase by saturday and that all will look good.
 
Josoo, I agree with MayC. I know the waiting is hard. Be positive and we're all thinking and praying for you.

Update From Me:
Acording to FF am ovulating today. Does anyone else get a pain on their side when their ovulating? It seems to always be on the same side, shouldn't it alternate? Anyway, we've done Hanky Panky twice, Thurs + Friday. Hoping I can seduce hubby later today and possibly tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Good luck MayC, MickeyMom, and reei. Hope this our month.

After two weeks of being in the dark, I started spotting last night. This morning I woke up with cramps and had bright blood in my panties. I went to the doctor and he sent me to Canossa for a D&C. I had what is called a "blighted ovum". Its been a tiring experience and I'm going to heal mentally/physically over the next couple of months and try again. Some things are meant to be and after a lot of crying, I'm feeling slightly better now. I will always remember this day, but life carries on...and I'll get stronger by the day.
 
josoo,
