Day 1 to Day 5 and Day 6-13

DAY 1 TO DAY 5

 This is the period whereby your pituitary gland stimulate your 10 to 15 maturing eggs. I have to tell myself "It is a fresh beginning and a beautiful month!"

Advice for Damp type

I feel that my body is the damp type so I need to exercise to oxygenate my body.

It is best that I avoid raw food, cold food, processed food, excess salt, too much soya, bananas, peanuts, oily nuts, cow's milk, ice-cream. Do not drink too much water with food.

I have to eat more barley, anchovy, button mushrooms, celery, corn, garlic, jasmine tea, lemon, mackerel, onion, parsley, pumpkin, radish, turnip.

Advice for Heat type

I also think that my body is the heaty type.

I am supposed to not exercise during Day 1 to 5 (this is in conflict with damp! So which one should I follow?) I can drink peppermint tea.

I should avoid caffeine. Oops I love my strong coffee. Raw food is good for people who are heaty! Huh? This is in conflict with damp again!

I should eat more fruits, duck, eggs, pineapple, peas, pork (damp should avoid pork), watermelon, tomatoes, shellfish, sesame seeds, pears, lemons, tofu.

DAY 6 - DAY 13

This is the follicular phase. Nourishing blood is very important. Keep calm. Practise meditation. Relax. Use visualisation to correct any irregularities. Stretch your body. Have a lot of sex.

Avoid antihistamines, alcohol, caffeine, air-conditioning, anywhere that is overheated, too much time on computer (oops what am I doing now) and spicy food. Because these are the things that would decrease my body fluids.

Take a break from conceiving and start enjoying sex! Try massaging each other! If you are taking supplements, royal jelly, honey, sesame seeds and all oily fish are good.

To nourish blood, eat more apples, black sesame seeds, blackcurrents, carrots, cherries, dates, duck (damp should avoid), eggs, honey, meat, oats, pear, pork, dark leafy greens, sweet potato, tofu, watermelon (not for cold), yam

For Damp type
Go out for nice walks, yoga or pilates.
Keep food light and no junk food. Too much fluid pre ovulation is not good. Massage abdomen daily.

For Heat type
Try cool wet visualisations like waterfall. Mediate, Relax. Stay hydrated. Sip but do not gulp.

Stay positive and confess positive things aloud - I produce fertile mucus and sperm and egg can move freely. I enjoy sex with my husband. I put aside time to enjoy being with my husband. My body makes sufficient blood to nourish my follicles and endometrium. I am relax and HAPPY!

    It makes me feel so warm that I know people have been keeping track on my blog because I used to keep track on people's blog and you know why, because I was so desperate to know if there was a happy ending. My favourite one was Recurrent Chemical Pregnancies(located under my fav blog list) because after the author's long tiring winding journey, she has a few kids in the end...

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...

Prof Arijit Biswas highly skilled in high risk pregnancies

I first heard of NUH through my BFF. During her first pregnancy, she was six months pregnant and her gynae in Thomson Medical Centre discovered that her baby's head growth was abnormal and they could not detect the reason. Her gynae referred her to Prof Biswas and said that he was one of the best doctors to deal with complicated pregnancies and he was experienced with doing foetal blood sampling. Prof Biswas was the one who suspected that the baby could have Thalassemia. True enough, the baby had it and it was major type, meaning, it would be stillborn even if she had carried him to term. They had no choice but to remove her baby. She and her husband would always have one in four chance that the baby would be a stillbirth. Her second pregnancy also ended up having an abortion due to the same reason. She shouldered on and conceived a third time. By now, she was Prof Biswas's patient. During her 27 week, she had contractions and was warded. She was labeled as preterm danger. ...
