Hey there yukki! I echo the view of the ladies here.

I'm not sure what you have done at your gynae. But there were a couple of tests I've done - sperm check, monthly egg and lining check, polyps checked (and removed), and lastly hsg. The doc I went also gave my hubby some herbal medication and myself medications and us dates to bd.

As for tcm - I went to see dr wu.

As for bbt - you have to continue monitoring and at regular timings. That's what I did cuz requested by dr wu! Fertility friend is a good app to use.

As for opk - I used clearblue. More ex but easier to see smiley or no smiley. I did opk twice a day, when to start - I used the date prescribed by clearblue website (just need to input date of your last menses)

As for vitamins- I was on gnc Pre natals, royal jelly, vitamin e, folic acid.

As for meals - I didn't take bananas and any cooling fruits. Also no tea and coffee, including green tea, chrysanthemum tea, Chinese tea etc. no cold drinks too. Took Brazilian nuts and ba zhen soup (before ovulation for the soup), Brazilian nuts all the way and oh - chicken essence after ovulation too. And of course veggies and fish many many.

Hope this helps.

Before seeing TCM, I bfp once but mc at 7 weeks, then I chance upon this thread and started seeing Dr Su. I quitted cold drinks and drink Longan red tea almost everyday and Ba Zhen drink once a week. Got another bfp after taking her medicine for 4 months but mc again at 5 weeks. I never do bbt but I bought cheap OPK sticks online to check if I ovulate. After seeing dr su for 8 months I decided to switch to another TCM dr lian. Got bfp after the 3rd month. During these period, me and my husband also try out feng shui and diligently follow all the things that the feng shui master taught us. So I am actually not sure which one help us the most but I believe all do help us. My hb and I really grateful to all the helping hands we have.

not forgetting my hb also been taking GNC men's multi vitamins and CoQ daily.

hihi prayinghard, currently i have been visiting zou yu min sinseh at amk...have been diligently taking the med and avoid taking cold stuffs but i do still take coffee, not sure if coffee will affect fertility too? recently i was diagnosed with a functional cyst in the right ovary but the last ultrasound check seems like the cyst is gone...not sure if the cyst did have any impact on fertillity?

Dragontail! Enjoy your trip :)

Yukki I think the ladies have offered very good advices. I know how it feels when we tried so hard and we still see red every month. I feel it's good for you and your hubby to go for physical checks and if all is well for both of you, opk will help determine a more accurate timing to do the deeds. Then again some friends have advised me to bd after menses as soldiers technically can survive for 3-7 days inside the woman's body and able to catch the egg during its release. Most importantly don't let the stress of ttc-ing affect you and your hubby as the mental state is critical for conception too.

Better avoid coffee cos it contains caffeine which could hinder fertility. Take more warm drinks. I took ba zhen soup, drank longan red date tea, took DOM at night too. Avoid alcohol. Maybe you want to track your ovulation too.

I brewed the drink myself. Very easy to do. Just wash all the ingredients then throw into slow cooker can le. I didn't drink all day, only when j got home from work. At work, just drink warm water.

Yukki, do remember before u go ahead to drink any tonics to tiao ur body, it is better for u to see a TCM and seek professional advice. Like for me, I'm a heaty-natured person. So no longan red dates etc for me. On d contrary, I was told to drink more barley to counter my heatiness.

Hi yukki. Me bfp twice but they were not viable in the end. I'm still trying, though I feel age is catching up and honestly I lose a little hope everytime I see red. But I feel so long as we women still ovulate, there's a still a chance (provided your hubby is also sent for checks). Jiayou and all the good luck to you.

Thanks superwoman :)

Hi Dragontail, miss you!
Yukki, that's true. Many of the girls here persevere and have done well.
As long as have ovulate, we still have chance!

Ebichan how are you? :)

For this trip, I have been doing all the "forbidden" stuff. Drink cold drinks, massages, take thrill rides, climbed a lot (until my legs really felt like pizhar on first few days), etc. Btw, I'm starting to get a little spotting. Next cycle jiayou! Bought some opk cheapies already.

Yukki - I am also like you - on the liang side. I didnt check with tcm but just went to make longan red date drink and drink. Until she said I was too heaty but I bfp that month leh. I brewed about 5 cups and finished everything in a day!!!

Yes don't give up I would say.

Btw - no coffee better lah. Once bfp also advised to give up so might as well give up now right =)

Dragontail - happi holidaying! When coming back???
