Can one drink DOM when TTC??

[melody yu]

Hi,I'm currently TTC. Heard from mum that drinking DOM is beneficial. But it contains 40% alcohol if I'm not wrong. So juz wondering if it's safe n gd to drink for my case. Can anyone advice me on this?? Thanks

 

[Dragontail]

Definitely yes! It's a good tonic for building up stronger/warming up the uterus.

You remind me that I have not touch mine for months. I get "drunk" from just one small tiny cap! Dont really enjoy the taste but I think I should pick it up again for TTC purpose.

But it contains such high % of alcohol. Isit ok? Tot one who is TTC shld avoid alcohol?? If it's really gd den I'll b wiling to try despite e "super warm" taste >_<

 

[Dragontail]

I've not heard about having to avoid alcohol during TTC. I only know not to have alcohol during pregnancy.

Melody
actually Dr Su advised me to drink DOM until i BFP, then Stop.....
But for me, i don't take everyday.... i take maybe 4 days a week. And I pour DOM into Bazhen when i brew Bazhen
Some friend advise me not to take after Ovulation, so i listen to them....
So the only time i take DOM now is before Menses AND After Menses but before Ovulation.
And Dr Su advised me to mix DOM with her Medicine , it is very good...

Oooo....but her medicine oreadi dun taste gd,plus e DOM I tot will taste even worse?? Hahaha...the problem is,I dun really when I ovulate...so very difficult to time when to drink DOM n when not to. =\ guess better not to drink then...

 

[Dragontail]

melody yu, are you starting on BBT temping? If not, how would you know when you ovulate? I know that to hit the jackpot is to at least firstly know when you ovulate.

Melody,On the contrary, with dom, dr su medicine is nicer...U can try using hp apps to monitor ovulation?

 

[melody yu]

Yup,I'm actually using hp app to estimate e ovulation. But I didn't go monitor my BBT. Find it too much of a hassle..coz I work shifts,haf to wake up at different timing always. It's v difficult for me to monitor an accurate BBT. I tried using ovulation kit before,but always din manage to detect it. Only after I went to my gynae,she found out I'm not ovulating regularly =|

 

[faithmummy]

Melodyi suggest u tell dr su next time about what your gynae said so that she can adjust the medicine...Also, maybe u use hp apps to estimate ovulation date, then stop dom on that date?Dr su say is safe to take dom even on ovulation, so i think one to two days off should not be a problem... idea is dun give yourself too much stress...

 

[Dragontail]

Ya, I think stress is a bad egg I think TCM should be able to help you to regulate your cycles and ovulation. Maybe acupuncture too. Let Dr Su tiao your body for a few months then you should see improvement.

Hi girls,today i wanted to go down to the clinic to take another week's supply of medicine,but end up e clinic closed till 16th. But the last time when I went,e reception staff told me once finish the one week medicine can go back buy. Zzz...guess I'll have to skip the medicine till 16th liao >_<
I told Dr Su before that my gynae said my ovulation nt regular. But she din say much..juz Told me to try one week medicine n c how it goes

 

[faithmummy]
