(2005) Brides of year 2005

Ladies, sorry I need some help. I have just seen my gynae this wednesday and it is not very good news. my cycle is always irregular and I attribute it as stress. but she said it is due to the fact that i am not ovulating on regular dates. I could not ask her anymore cos i find that she is very very cold and when i try to rephrase her words in other ways, she quickly said i should not quote her like this and that.... quite demoarlising.

I like to find out frm all of you, do you have any idea on the ovulation strips or monitoring saliva system? I like to get one. May I know where i can buy it? Thanks.
 


Winnie,
cheerup ya.... Maybe u should seek a 2nd opinion? can't help u on ovulations strips cos I haven used them before ya....maybe some ladies here can help u on this....hmm...
 
thanks newbbi... i dont think i will seek 2nd opinion as yet cos the stuff which the gynae said is quite logical, cos it is true that my cycle is irregular... but i just feel frustrated that she is not offering any help.... she just tell me the stuff very technically....
 
hi ting, thanks for the website. The gynae i went to mentioned that everything looks fine through the ultrasound, just that therei s some blisters and thus my o is not regular.

Jenn, for myself, i dont know why, but i prefer female gynae. i dont feel quite comfortable with male gynae.
 
Hi ting, may i know when you bought the strips, do you use daily? Or you just use on those possible period? Will there be instructions there to guide us how to use it?
 
Winnie,
No problem, my gyane is from ACJ women clinic in TMC @ 3rd storey,
He had other 2 female gyane. U can ask for either
Dr Caroline Khi
Dr Joycelyn Wong

The number u can book for appointment is 6353 2033
 
winnie, i think what she meant is that sometimes u ovulate and sometimes u don't. so it could mean that you are not ovulating all the time. that's exactly my friend's problem. but don't worry. did she give you clomid to try to induce ovulation? my friend finally got preggie (just heard the news this morning) after trying for 3 years! btw, she went to see sinseh after seeing gynae for 2 years with no results.
 
winnie, what i did was to download online calendar to track when i should ovulate and i used the opks to confirm that i'm ovulating during those days the calendar told me i should ovulate. but you must know what is your cycle length in the first place. if not regular, i suggest you try 35 days cycle and adjust accordingly if the opks doesn't tally with what the calendar tells you.
 
winnie- i went to dr caroline khi for scannin, find tat she's a gentle n patient gynae. u can consider her

for the opks, u can start startin frm 14th day of ur cycle since urs is nt regular. jus dip the white portion into urine n wait for test result. if 2 lines appear (must be as dark), means O'ing in nxt 24 to 48 hrs.
 
ting, how much is the consultation with dr khi? my friend is looking for pre-preggie consultation to check if she is ovulating cos the opks is not showing that she is ovulating at the moment and she is worried.
 
Hi Jenn, thanks for the information, I will take note.

Daphne, nope she did not give me any clomid.

I need to ask a very dumb question, if we have period every month, does it mean ovulation has occurred? Or even if you have period every month, it does not mean you have ovulated?

for my gynae, she just mentioned that since it is not regular, i may like to let nature to take it course, if still dont have after tyring for a year, then can consider hormone XXX. I could not get the XXX portion.... then when i try to rephrase tat "er you mean, I may need to try hormone treatment if i dont get pregnant?" then she replied me with a scowl that "i did not say you cant get pregnant with this condition"... so i kept quiet liao... did not ask further.

Daphne, if due to the irregularity, i cant use the calendar, it means OPK strips alone will help? Aga aga try and if it is positive then try is it?
 
winnie, ya you can try ting's method too cos if u not regular then u may need more opks cos then u need to literally track every alternate days lor....
winnie, from my understanding, have menstrual doesn't mean ovulation. cos my friend got that problem. she is regular somemore but not ovulating.
 
Daphne, thanks, you have cleared my doubts, guess i am the stupid one, i always thot that having menses means that ovulation has occurred... so based on your friends cycle she should be ovulating but the strips prove negative is it?

I will order the OPK strips and try it out every alternate days as suggested.
 
winnie, ya she tried for 2 mths and no signs from opks so she went to gynae and found out that she is not ovulating at all. i got 2 friends actually with this problem. but one recently got preggie finally.....
 
I guess i was quite misled by the doctor words... she mentioned that i am not ovulating regularly, then i say "huh?" as it to say I beg your pardon? then she says, you should know what, you are not having regular cycle....

so i have the thot that menses is tied to ovulation, a reflection that ovulation has taken place...
 
winnie, could be that you are ovulating with your menses but cos your menses is not regular and hence, your ovulation is also not regular lor....
 
Ting,Daphne,
how u calculate 28 days cycle? frm the 1st day of menses to the next 1st day menses?

Okie my menses dates are as follows :-

Feb : 20th - 24th
March : 12th - 18th
April : 17th - 23th
May : 16th - 23th

I counted liao, sometimes mine is 30 over days sometimes 20+ days leh....how huh?

me lazy to use the OPKS lor...
 
daphne- tat time i went for consultation n scannin, costs abt $130.

newbbi- 1st day of ur cycle is day 1, count the no. of days til ur nxt af. e.g. af comes on 1 may, nxt af on 28 may, tats 28 days. since urs is nt regular, usin opk is the best to find out when u r o'ing.
 
Ting,
huh.... what is happening ??? Aiyo, today friday, i really dun feel like working meh... lunch time oleidi start to count down....
So tired and sleepy !!!
 
jenn,
i also dun feel like working leh.
just had chicken rice with fruits.

me also tired and sleepy. yesterday din really sleep again, cos hb coughing and snoring all night.
 
Linda,
ha ha, my hb oso snore at night, cos he is getting fatter, and i am a light sleeper !!! so he make me wake up many times in the night.
So in order to let me sleep peacefully, (So tt my face wouldnt be black black), nowadays he sleep in another room, so i have the own queen sized bed for myself.....

linda- my hb also snores. but hor nw beta liao, if he does, i jus push him n he wil slp sideways, he wun snore so loud. hehe...
 
Ting,
Ya long term i know not good, but no choice, cos nowadays i oleidi got difficulty to fall asleep, + his snoring, i think my eyes can be wide open for the whole night...

Will assumed back on the same bed after jayden is born....
 
jenn, ya and i can actually hear myself snoring! haha.... cos i'm also light sleeper so sometimes i can be awaken by my own snoring..... keke....
 
Daphne,
ha ha, for me, i am easily awake once my hb start snozing lor...so at times, he sleep like a pa pa bear (lye down),but i know is not comfortable for him lor...but yet, i cant stand any snozing lor..so in the end, we sleep in seperate room...

Further i must sleep at 11pm while he can sleep late at 2am... so i will on the aircon in another room, when he is abt to sleep, he will off the aircon, and sleep peacefully, cos he got sinus too, cannot stand cold aircon whereas now, i sleep in aircon of 16 degree !!! kee kee
 
jenn- my hb's snorin seems to be improving! keke... so much beta thn last time. his is dependant on position. when he lie on his back, super loud! but sideways stil ok. sm times no sound also. i wil usu drag him to slp tog w me.. hehe... stil nt used to slpin on 1 big bed alone =D
 
daphne,
my hb recently told me that i do snore. cos he sleep later than me not that i woke him up.
but he told me that it might be due to the position that i sleep and cos now preggy, more tired and having blocked nose.

jenn/ting/daphne,
my hb seldom snore. even he snore, also quite bearable but yesterday super loud loh. think he not well also, that's y, snore so loud bah. hehehe...
 
Linda,
ha ha, ur hb seldom snore, but my hb is snoze everyday, can imagine my nightmare when we sleep in the same bed...wahahaha... last time, when we rom, he dun snoze, but after AD, he grew fatter liew and he snoze everyday !!!!
 
Ting,
Usually i will sleep first, cos i dun like to watch discovery channel with hb, so i choose to sleep earlier than him... so far, i am very used to the big bed by myself...kee kee

Leg open big big like no body business...kee kee
 
jenn,
