congratulations to you anamaj..

feel that AF is coming soon and.. i am using the word 'depressed' to describe how i feel now. i have been keeping myself busy with other stuffs this month.. and ttc when i should be trying.. other times, i am just trying not to think about all this pregnancy stuffs..
yet why do i feel so down? what if i am never gonna have children?
arrgggh...
feel like lying in bed.. all day..
you see news of ppl abusing their children, why do ppl like that have children?
oh, my colleague did try to cheer me up though, she offered to bring her twins, 3 year boys, jump and wee on my bed..
she said that will help me get pregnant faster..

reei....i'm so sorry to hear that you are so upset. would you consider chinese meds? I can't speak for others, but it really did work for me the first time around. i am going back on the meds again.

af did not come. i am now 5 days late. i had light spotting yesterday. took hpt this morning and it was negative. i am thinking if i should buy another hpt , maybe clearblue and try. i know i should wait at least 3 days before taking the hpt again..
anyone have this experience with hpt.. i mean u buy one type, it is negative, and another type turns out positive?

mayc,

just bought the clearblue from watson, the one with two test in one box. just tested and i got a negative..
guess i'll try again on sunday morning.

Reei, am sooo sorry. hang in there sweetie.

MayC, hope the Chinese meds are going down easier.

Well I had a strange month. Not sure when I was ovulating. Bought the David OPKs and never got a postive result. Hardly had any CM which didn't help. We only did the BD once. Hubby was too stressed with work and wasn't very cooperative. I'm not getting my hopes up this month. Will just wait and see.

Hope we get a few more pregnant mummies this month.

Congratulations Anamaj!

Babydust to all.

mayc, thanks.
i am actually not as upset as i expected myself to be.
nanzbier, thanks for your advice. i think i'll try naturally for another 8 months before going for tcm.
babydust to all of us..

MayC,

Thanks for your reply. I signed up with one of the Fertility sites and started the OPK on the days it said I was fertile. First day was CD9 and thought it was a bit early. I tried for a couple more days and then gave up. Haven't started taking my temp yet. The charting looks so complicated and thought would be too stressful.

What do you do when your husband doesn't want to cooperate? Shame the milkman isn't an option here. :rolling

Your daughter sounds lovely. My LO actually doesn't want a sibling. She's quite happy being an only child. Isn't that odd?

Hi Girls

Back from the holiday, had the best time. Was on injectables this cycle as Clomid din't create the super-ovulation my FS is trying to achieve, went back to see her upon my return and no wonder my ovaries were hurting like mad. I had 5 or 6 big follicles and many smaller ones. So things looked good then and she gave me an HCG shot - although at the same time she suggested the small follies might be a sign of PCOS... I don't get it. I have never missed a period, I am size 8, no skin problems and no cysts on ovaries... but whatever, she put me on Metformin now. I am still not really convinced about this whole diabetes and PCOS story as nobody in my family is diabetic either.

Worse is that the next day I was meant to go for an IUI and on the day on a closer look it showed my ovaries got really enlarged with all the eggs in them so that they actually squeezed the uterus up and the IUI couldn't go ahead as she wasn't able to reach the uterus. So we just BDed with hubby that night instead.

After this I had four days of crazy pains in my abdomen, I couldn't move without feeling discomfort. My boobs were killing me and I felt sick on and off. Then suddenly on day 5 I woke up fine, not a single pain. It's now DPO7 for me and I feel nothing, just sore nipples but that's from the progesterone I am also taking.

To be honest I am not at my most positive right now. I did some reading on my thyroid antibodies and it seems that they do in fact cause quite a bit of problems in terms of fertility.

Everyone around me is falling preggers and I am starting to feel like I do not belong. I have the sweetest hubby but I have also been feeling a lot less sexy with all that is going on and the fact that it's proving to be a daunting long journey. It might sounds silly but I am really worried how it might impact my marriage in the long run... I know I should be more positive and believe it will happen, but you know how it gets.

I also stopped acupuncture as I realised the guy I used to go to was lazy and hopeless, I only found out as I now study acu myself. He also put up his prices recently to something like HK$750 which is just outrageous for the fact he does nothing but put you down and pins 8 needles in you without any closer exam! I will look into alternatives but just feeling a bit frustrated and directionless at this point.

MayC and TTC#2, I hope you will get some good news in the next few days. :flower: Reei, sorry to hear about the AF!

Have a good day Girls xx
