Thanks- angie, moonbell, remember:
We went to gyne few years back. both of us are healthy n my womb are okay too. hb's sperm is healthy but vol is slightly less then normal but little buddies are healthy - perhaps we didnt did the correct "way". Hence, we didnt want to rush. It was just 2 years ago when i start getting serious. But it was only 3 months ago that I went to try TCM hoping to conceive natually. I had a friend that just gave birth to a baby boy 1.5 mths ago..and she is 37. Im sure i can too.. But often it quite disheartening when every mense is here. :(

perhaps those are trying and already succeeded could share what could help or assist in conceiving.

Moonbell,

I have been trying to relax. im goin to do yoga at home- stretching etc.. somehow, ages is slowly catching up.. just cant stop worrying. lolx. im already 35. i regret not starting earlier by seeing TCM. Anyway, i spoken to my boss, once the contract is clinched, im taking UPL for 3 months. I told him that i really need time to relax and to conceive. yes, im stress-up with work even with the most relax- outlet. Guess it is just me.

How long hv u guys tried? what methods did you tried. Food? or any things that u think it is necessary for preparing out body for conceiving? I check with my TCM, she said i can take " american ginseng" for tonic. She also said my heart rate is too fast, must learn to relax.

if you and your partner have checked with the gynae and the results are ok, then all you need to do is relax.
I was working before and my period was often late from few days until 1-2 weeks. We had unprotected sex all the time and when my period came, I counted back and recalled that actually I was supposed to be pregnant but I was not. It was ok for us because we thought I would be pregnant eventually anyway. Because my hubby is often on biz trip, I decided to quit my work and joined him. I enjoyed my time and relaxed all the way. My period was late for 1 month but I did not really care because I was used to irregular period anyway. And true, my menses came.
Then when my period was late again, I still did not really pay attention to whether I was pregnant. Only when my breast was tender for 1 month (normally 2 weeks then my period would come) and I often woke up in the middle of the night to pee, I started to suspect I was pregnant. I tested positive. That time, my period had been late for 3 months plus from the last period.
When I checked, I was 7 weeks pregnant. It was a blessing because we did not expect I could get pregnant so soon with my irregular period plus my husband high flying job.

So yeah, just relax and let nature take its course =)

Hi moonbell,

Yeah, I was trying to ask if u guys have any other methods to enhance the possibility. Like drinking any tonic, soup etc. I'm currently seeing the tcm at amk 505. I'm here right now to see her and take some powder. It's a new cycle again and hope for the best. If I conceive by may, it would be snake year liao.. Lolx...

Hi, Hopefully can catch the dragon's tail. TCM told me not to drink american ginseng cos got many type. Gotta stop drinking those cooling stuff such as barley, green bean soup etc. I went to Eu ren seng before- expensive!! I went to Xia Rong at Paragon once. I stop going cos i had chicken pox and MC for a month. Location also quite inconvenience for me. And that was about 2-3 years ago.Then I heardsay Xia Rong went back to China hence, i gave up on Eu ren Seng. I just went to AMK Eu ren seng for tiao-ing my body for sometimes.

Yesterday, i went for my follow-up. My TCM told me she had 3 patient had conceived naturally and one had sucessfully conceived via IVF. Tat gave me confident ^^.......

relax and be confident.. =) i'm trying not to stress myself up too...

i went Nex Eu Yan Seng alone that day.. the chinese physican said giving birth is husband n wife issue.. i tink she expected my husb to be there too but my husb hates chinese med, so i hope just 'tiao' my body will bring us gd news.. i thought the chinese physican is quite unfriendly.. hahaha i just started my first dosage of her med, will hav to take 2 times a day for 7 days..

she said i'm on the 'heaty' side.. so cannot take tonic one.. LOL (how sad rite)

ya.. i tink it's quite exp.. but after i went to see her, i told my auntie.. apparently her daughter is also seeing the same chinese physican for common cold.. so i think i will continue to see her...

Hi moonbell, Good luck to you! No matter, eu ren seng or what, there is always hope. Dun give up neither do I!!.
Yes, im also hving the powder 2x day and sometimes 2 packs a time before Ovulation, after that, it will be one pack 2 times a day. if mense comes, it will be another type which is more bitter and powdery.

Before ovulation, i will have to attend 3 sessions of acupunture both front n back. during this period, I need to keep myself warm.
