Morning! Visit to gynae was ok. Just continue taking the meds. He prescribed Florxine for me previously (if anyone is keen to know) and ya he said can continue with pre natal gnc.
@quincy - never mind cny coming. U can give the sunflower and pumpkin seeds to your parents or serve your house visitors!
I still have a big bagful of walnuts - remember I bought 600g... Still eating as tidbit now but it doesn't seem to finish!

I don't know if tentex works la. But erm gynae prescribed so I thought let u ladies know.
Hahaha but getting dear to take is a mammoth task.
Btw I didn't tell him that it is an "enhancer". The gynae positioned it as "vitamins". I kpo and google the name and that is how I found out but hahaha to protect the man's ego I reckon it is better to continue to let him think it is "vitamins". Already so difficult to get him to take "vitamins" - think it will be even worse if he knows the truth!

My hubby does not touch almost all kinds of nuts. Forget about raw unsalted nuts. He cringes at the sight of it. He does take quite a bit of vits. Not sure what kind as my mil prepares for him every morn.
The only health issue he has now is cholesterol level . Doc says it is "dangerously high". Goodness he is only 31. His diet gotta be chaned for sure. Is cholesterol genetic I wonder? His dad has high cholesterol. My hubby is not heavy or anything.

Just saw my TCM this afternoon. She said my digestive system not good, pulse weak and menses cycle not conducive for conceiving.
On ave, I have AF for only 4 days. First day heavy, second day moderate and third day light. By day 4, I'm just spotting and on panty liners.
Advise given was the opp of what everyone's doing. I'm diagnosed to be too heaty, so barley water every day for me, no fried/spicy food and to sleep early.
Also told to start charting bbt and checking with a gynae to do basic checks to make sure the 'basic structure is basically sound with no problems'. Honestly, I've never seen a gynae in my life, so am at a loss. Anyone with a good gynae to recommend? I stay in the east.
Thanks everyone!

Hi shez. you can drink barley, chrysanthemum, green tea (green tea latte from Starbucks yums yums)... I am envious 
I would reckon best to get your body checked whilst ttc-ing. Actually I have regular yearly checkups since I found out I had polyps and had them removed 5 years ago. So prior to ttc and during ttc I had my body checked. I mean I just wanted to make sure my body is all clear to prevent any potential complications. And it was a good thing for me because in my oct check, gynae helped me remove another polyp which was "obstructing" the spermy.
Anyway - because I started seeing a gynae since 5 years ago - I am a private patient. as I am pretty comfortable with my original gynae and this other second opinion gynae I saw last month and recently - hence don't think I will change (doctors are very impt to me!) and will continue as a private patient (bo Bian this means I cannot quit my job)
I can pm you my gynae if you are keen.

Having a day full of sighs. traditional chinese medicine today said.. My luteal is short. So hard to have baby & easy to miscarriage. Then he said some people take 1 month, others take 6 months to a year to be successful, by taking herbs. No guarantee when I will be able to do so.. Cause everybody is different and infertility can be a result of many things. He thinks I can try traditional chinese medicine for another 2-3 months or can also go for my first Ivf cycle as scheduled. He thinks both have chance. :X I am thinking.. Not easy to have baby means hard to implant and hard to carry to term is it? So does that mean even if I do Ivf baby will drop out? super confused and so stressed as dont know if that means I shld postpone ivf or not? I just hope this last natural cycle something good happens.
Side note, western dr and Chinese dr now agree that I have higher chances of miscarriage. and traditional chinese medicine never restrict my diet or anything still. All zero still...
Only happy note.. My silvery willow plants are sprouting green leaves. only thing that soothes me today.

@Adrenalin - Don't be upset! Cheer up cheer up! There's always a silver lining and we're all here in the same boat!
The upside is, your TCM didn't say "eh both of you confirm no chance. forget about tiaoing... gone case".. He said both of you have chance and all he asked for was your patience
Well - I personally think that's the beauty of TCM - It helps to 'tiao' the body so that the body is prepared to receive the spermy and subsequently prepared to carry the baby to full term. I used to think TCM is a miraculous solution but by and by I realized nah - There's no one shot kill all medicine - These things take time. And again - like what I mentioned to Shez, you would want your body to be better prepared.
Did your TCM give you any med to take? If yes, then just take that.
I think, don't be disheartened. Pray (if you believe), and at the end of the day, what's meant to be yours is meant to be yours. Docs always say this and that but my mother always tells me - The woman's body was made to have kids - that's it - as simple as that. Sure, medical advances have made it easier to 'predict' this and that - but at the end of the day - medical science is not 100% chop stamp guaranteed and it has yet to solve every single problem has it? The body is still way more advanced than any medical science.
I mean - that's what my mum told me lah. Sure, I trust docs but at the same time, I believe the spirit is also stronger than science And y'know, sometimes, I like to think that, it's just fate or whatever the big guy (whether it's Buddha or God or whoever you believe) wants to bestow on you too...
Oh and with regards to whether you should go for IVF now, it's really your call. I think perhaps you could write down a list of pros & cons and have a good objective perspective. I do that cuz I think writing helps to make me see the situation more clearly.

Hmm my 2ww is over today.. Another month of aunt Rosie. Don't know whether to be sad or happy since outcome is known. Tell myself to be positive.. New cycle means new hope.
Adrenalin can understand your dilemma.. IVF is after all human intervention in conception. Hence the rate of successful deliveries for IVFs is unfortunately not very high.. But I believe TCM and acupuncture during IVF cycle will help prepare the womb and embryo. I remembered a quote from a fertility doctor saying couples should exhaust all methods before embarking on IVF so expectations will not be unrealistic. Myself have just made appointment for IVF consultation after CNY but I'm actually thinking of consulting another well known TCM doc to try my luck. Don't give up trying yea..
