Clomid to ovulate

 Dr Henry C was the one who prescribed me asprin, progesterone and clomid. He told me that there was no need to scan for eggs because the regular scanning could be very stressful. He asked me to start for three cycles without scanning.

Prof PC Wong felt that I should not take asprin and progesterone but I should be scanned. He felt that taking progesterone when you did not know if you had ovulated would be detrimental because  progesterone would prevent ovulation. 

 Since I love the idea of visiting docs to find out more, I was happy to go. I went to scan my eggs on day 11... It was 14mm and on day 13, it was 19mm. All the scanning was done via transvaginal. I dreaded having the dick looking hard plastic in my vaginal. Although it would be lubricated, it was an uncomfortable experience. 

 The scans indicated that Clomid was working. I googled about Clomid and read about the side effects. Some of the side effects included ovarian cancer .

  I should be ovulating soon. I was a little stressed over the need to have my eggs scanned because I dreaded asking my boss for approval.  I tried to ask Prof PC Wong to give me an afternoon timing so that I could go after work. He was so adamant about not changing the timing that I had no choice but to go along. 

At the same time, my friend asked me to take royal jelly. Since Jan was my birthday month, I purchased folic, royal jelly, vit c, vit b6, coq10, vit E, Vit A and D from GNC. I took all the bottles of vitamins for my next visit and showed Prof . He was amused and said that it was unnecessary to take all these vitamins. When I asked him to choose which one to take and which not to take, Prof says folic must take, the rest optional and DO NOT take vitamin A. Vitamin A would cause miscarriage and is also found in animal liver.

I am also still seeing Dr Tan Kian Sing TCM in Clementi.

As for my work, it is piling up like a mountain. I have three sharing sessions back to back! I just have to tell myself chill chill chill... Take it easy! Once again, of course I feel sad why my sharing sessions have to be back to back. I tell myself don't dwell on such thoughts. Just take it easy and trust God...

TCM Physician Tan Siew Buoy 陈秋梅 - What is she like?

I saw many visitors on Dr Tan's posts. In fact, it is my most popular post. I shall do a detailed post of what a visit to her clinic is and I hope that this would benefit you if you are considering to consult her. First of all, the address in Chinatown - Health and Beauty Pte Ltd 康得美 38 Upper Cross Street, Singapore 058341, Singapore 6534 4137 Two days ago, I received a call from her clinic. They would always do a reminder before the appointment. I went to Chinatown and managed to find a lot. Her clinic is situated within a large Chinese Medical Hall called Health and Beauty - Kang De Mei. I tore out a coupon of an hour as the car park attendant is rather active in that area. I will always park along Mosque Street. I walked along the row of shops and reported to the receptionist. The lady would ask for my number (every patient has a number) and write my name on a piece of paper. She would then place the paper according to the sequence of appointed time with the other

TCM Physician Tan Lee Kee of Ying Chuan Chinese Medical Hall in Jurong

I was growing increasingly impatient with Dr Tan Kian Sing for reasons stated below. Once again, just like Dr Ang Mui Choo's prescription, I experienced no improvement in my health and cycles. I was still ovulating late and my BBTs were not ideal.  It was dubious that the prescription would be the same for every woman. I thought the best part of TCM was that the doctor could prescribe individual medication according to the body's constitution? I got increasingly uneasy over eating tablets that were unnamed, let alone regulated. I was okay with eating herbs but I really had no trust in those tablets.  Dr Tan's prediction of my ovulation was not very accurate. I hated the long waiting time at the waiting area. I disliked sachets of powdered instant herbs mixture. They were awful to drink to the point of gagging at times. I also read bad reviews of instant herbs mixture online. Furthermore, those sachets were made in China and recently, there were so much bad press abo

The cold wind blows

When I woke up in the morning, I took my temperature and realised that it had dipped to 36.6 (look at the graph from the smart app "Fertility Friend"), I felt disappointment creeping into my otherwise, well rested body. Dipping around Day 30 always means an impending period. Yesterday night, by 10pm, my body shut down and I slumped my body on my bed. I realised that it is not the number of hours that matters but the time that you sleep. If I sleep at 12 and wake up at 8, it is not as refreshing as sleeping at 10 and waking up at 6.  I brushed my teeth and drank water. I sat down on the sofa, still thumping the disappointment down. "Hey, 36.6 is not that bad. Don't think so much," I consoled myself. I switched on the fan and the cold wind blew. I took my phone and checked Facebook as if it was my morning devotional material.  "Ah another friend is expecting and is hinting online," I whispered in my head. I didn't bother to wri
