Tuesday - 27th December 2011 - a trip to gleneagles

Morning, Blood again! Streaks or spots I dunno how to describe it but enough to stain my underwear! As though my first day of period!

Blood is bright red though..

I was so upset, i did not know what to do.. I called Damansara Specialist and made appointment with the DR. However, she's still on leave until Thursday.. Have to wait till Thursday... :(

While showering, I thought about Dr. Ravi Chandran from Gleneagles, he was recommended to me previously, but because of the distance, we picked Damansara Specialist.. (but the hospital is so run down, UH is way much better condition) Anyhow, i decided to call Dr. Ravi's clinic.. told the lady, i'm 5 weeks pregnant and i'm bleeding.. and she said COME IN NOW! (i felt so much at ease), told my hubs to get ready and we rushed to the hospital..

Arrived just on time, 11.30am.. took about 30mins drive.. there's a reception at the lobby, where there's 3 counters to get your GL.. press for number and wait.. they were very fast, however, she told me i needed a referral letter to see the DR. Explained to her for Paeds and Gynae we don't need to, she called Micare, and it's true, she processed for me and i'm IN! WOO HOO! Gleneagles!

ROOM 203, Dr. Ravi's clinic.. it's a building consist of many doors and the doors lead us to different individual Doctors. Went in and the lady immediately took my weight, and asked me a few questions about my bleeding, we waited for our turn... there was maybe 3 people in line.. when it was our turn, Dr. Ravi made us feel relieve.. I don't know how to describe the feeling.. warmth and full of love. He shook our hands and welcome us in, took my BP, he said it was normal while Damansara Specialist say It's very low.. He ask PLENTY OF THE RIGHT QUESTIONS, family history, illness, IUI, reason doing it, where, etc etc etc.. 10 minutes with him and i think he knows us inside out.

THEN... he got a duty call, someone is in LABOUR! he had to rush off to deliver a baby and said he needs to see me but give him 30minutes and he'll be back, ask us to go down for lunch..

Food at Gleneagles is not nice.. expensive.. i had Chicken rice, Hubs had... Nasi goreng..

Anyway, when it was our turn AGAIN, he did an ultrasound... and ask us.. is this your first time doing this... we told him we've done it last week.. he asked, what did we see.. and we said we saw this lor.. then he asked again, NO, what did you SEE! ermmm... we said WE SAW THIS! pointed at the screen, THIS PEANUT, THIS THING here... hmm.. and we said, she just scan and showed us this and said everything looks fine and thats it!

I guessed it was a wrong answer. :P

he then zoom in, and we saw many things.. what we thought was the peanut was actually the sac.. and when he zoom in.. we saw the DOT.. the embryo.. then he explain this is the food sac.. etc etc.. he went on about it.. and we then realised.. OH... we didn't see anything previously!!

Oh and he showed us some black spots in my womb that's causing the spotting.. so he said let's hope it all disappears and not expand.

OH.. and he printed for my our scans. LOVELY.

He took 3 mini bottles of blood from me, gave me HCG jap, and took urine test too.

After our REAL first pre-natal consultation.. Hubs immediately decided, GLENEAGLES it is.. he doesn't mind the distance for the quality.

AWE-SOME. -_-

Slight spotting .. Each time I pee I see a drop of blood in my pee.. Not enough to colour the whole bowl red compared to yesterday.. But enough to make me upset..

Sunday Xmas day red present from our future junior!

Great way to kill our X'mas mood! I saw blood!

Rushed to Damansara specialist and as it was Xmas only the gp was around. He knows nothing about pregnancy and conceiving that he was some what insensitive regarding our situation, it's our first time pregnancy and bleeding..

He asked why are you taking Duphaston, Is it not your first time, etc.. i didn't get his question, and we had to explain to him we did IUI that's why fertility Dr gave me Duphaston, then he asked, how long have you both been trying, our answered, 1 year, and he said ONLY 1 year and you're so impatient, and you went and do an IUI! (OMG i wanna slap him) he went on and on and on... ARGH!!

Had such a bad experience with him and the whole hospital... He called our Gynae+OB, and it went to voice message, he said Oh, she shouldn't off her hp.. and immediately i thought.. that's it... NO MORE Damansara Specialist.. But Dr Gynae+OB called back.. and said nothing can be done, just give her an injection and ask her to rest at home.

So... next thing was.. he gave instructions to the nurse.. and we waited outside for my name to be called again... and went into the emergency ward area, and got a jap on my butt! OUCH. it was slow and painful.. she claims it's because it's very thick that she needs to inject it slowly.

Sighs.

My first pre-natal appointment at Damansara Specialist

Clinics here closed for lunch! But anyway, because it's our first time here, we came super early.. About 12.40pm.. Because our medical is covered by hubs company.. We need to get GL etc.. Walked to information counter.. Asked me to go to clinic and to the last door to get gl letter.. Walked towards the pointed direction.. Walked in and lady said walk to the last door.. We walked into that wooden door that says credit office.. And man took my medical card and ask us to wait.. Awhile later.. Lady came out from wooden door to say you need to go to clinic first to register then they provide a letter with that letter u come to this office again.. Walked to the clinic.. It was closed!

Now we're waiting till 2pm..

Dr. S.H's clinic, we registered, and waited for our turn.. .. when we saw the Dr. She asked a few questions, like when is your First day of your Last period.. told her about the IUI, she asked where, Oh she asked who recommended you here, and then... asked me to go up and did the ultrasound scan... she scanned and said everything looks okay... told us to come in 2 weeks later, to check for heart beat.. said if there's no heart beat there will be lots of blood.. and it's ugly.. ETC.. yes she just frighten my hubs.

Showed us a book, and a picture that looks like our peanut, and said, you are now at 5 weeks, like this. Ask her if she's going to print for us the scan, she said we don't print it till much later in the pregnancy.. -_-

nothing to show the family...

She told me, you are only allowed to gain 10-12kg, anything more is going to be a difficult labor... and told me, no ginseng, no pineapple, no papaya..

That's it. No asking to check weight, no urine test, no bp check.

5-6 weeks pregnant

This thursday i'll be 6th weeks, and i made my first pre-natal doctor's appointment.. lucky with my hubs company insurance we don't have to worry about doctor's fees and hospitals fees.. it's all taken care off.

After much research, i picked Damansara Specialist Hospital, it's near my house and office. I saw their photos on the hospital's website, and saw the male's doctor face.. they somehow don't look friendly.. so i picked Dr. Susanna Huam. Her clinic is closed on Wednesdays and Sundays. My appointment is on Thursday.. after i made the appointment.. i was thinking.. why did i made it 1 week later.. i'm so worried now, because Dr P's clinic said, make your appointment when you're on your 7th week. But when i called DSH Dr Susanna's clinic, the nurse said i can come in anytime already, to check if it's ectopic or normal pregnancy. My goodness, she just had to put such things into my head.. now i've been worrying for the whole week. Hoping it's all okay!

this week my taste buds beginning to change. I somehow no longer like my favourite chee cheong fun. :( it taste awful! i had keow teow soup filled with porky stuffs, and it was too strong for me!!

i'm so hungry now typing this blog. and i don't know what to eat. Oh yah, hubs boiled or steam PURE chicken essence for me last night. I had to eat today.. it taste awful and i couldn't finish it. WANNA PUKE eating it. kept it in the freezer now. will save it for later. :)

OH yesterday, i had a dream i was eating the most delicious chicken! i think it's Oportos, or ayam masak merah, or ayam percik! i woke up telling my hubs.. i want PERCIK!.. after eating it.. nope it was percik that i want. Now i'm on the quest to search for this yummy chicken from my dream!

AND i've been craving for deep fried abalone mushroom.

i still get some lower abdomen pain, some smelly yellow or brown discharge.. o_O

4 weeks- 5 weeks pregnancy symptoms

Everyday I feel as though my pee is smelly, and have smelly cervical discharge.. Need to tell the doctor that.

I don't feel as hungry as I should be, not yet I guess. Just not able to skip meals as before.. My stomach will be so pain if I do.. And then gastric.. And feel sick.. But as long as I eat on time I'm okay.

I'm napping more. I read a bit and I can doze off for 1-2 hours. And still fall asleep at night.. But I don't think I'm sleeping well.. My sleeping pattern has changed.. Usually I can easily sleep for more than 8 hours on weekends.. Last Sunday I told hubs. Please don't wake me up for breakfast! I wanna sleep in! Guess what! I woke up before him! So wide awake, we went for breakfast with the family!

I've been waking up to his 6am alarm clock and end up wide awake - wake my hubs for work.. And I go back to sleep!

I dream almost every night!

My boobs sore and so is my nipples! Today the seat belt accidentally rubbed against it! Ouch!

I'm taking my folic acid and doctor gave me the duphaston to continue.. 2 boxes. RM120

2ww - it's the final countdown !!

My 2 weeks wait is over!! I open my eyes this morning. I barely had a good night sleep for the passed few nights.. One of the night I was crying in my sleep and my husband saw and cuddle me and I did not remember a single thing! Have been tossing and turning... My eyes are closed but my brain is awake.

Every morning i call out the day... Thursday! I said to myself ... the whole night I expect to see some blood... Woke up and check.. No signs of period yet! I thought should I wait till Friday .. at least to make sure i missed a day of period.. through my experience, i checked in the morning and it was negative and my period came late afternoon.. such a bummer.

So i did not check at all..... every now and then i went to the toilet to check if i had my period.. BUT NO.. still crystal clear. :P

Night came... and still no period.. i read a couple of articles says i can test anytime in the day, since i bought clearblue pregnancy test, it says not necessary the morning pee.. i secretly tested.. I HAD TO.. i was dying to know, i can't wait another sleepless night..

PEE on the stick.. first it was --- and i thought.. okay hang on there.. i need to wait for the other column to appear a | to show that the test work perfectly fine... waited.. and | this appeared.. together with + .. yes a big fat POSITIVE ... i was jumping with joy!!! and i couldn't resist myself and jumped to my hubs and showed him the test! YAY!!!!!! but he wanted me to be sure, ask me to test in the morning again..

for the first time in 2 weeks.. i slept like a baby.. :)

Iui #1 day # 13

Cramping and acne on lower abdomen and lips of pee pee!!!!

Post iui #1 day # 10

My ovaries have not stop hurting.. The pain is not throughout the day.. It just happen like how gastric is.. But it's both left and right side of my abdomen.

I'm not sure if this what the other women meant by cramping.. But it was definitely different from my day #1 of iui!

I'm trying not to think about it.. TRYING! I really wish I don't have to wait 14 days to pee on a stick!

Today is my first time feeling nausea from car rides.. Wasn't sure if it's because I was writing something in the car.. But this morning car ride I wasn't doing anything and my ovaries hurt like mad and I was feeling sick.

I really don't want to coax myself saying this are all early pregnancy symptoms until it's a confirm - Positive BFP!

I'm still deciding if I should test on Friday or Saturday. My period is supposed to be due on Thursday but with all the stress and medication am not sure if it will screw up the cycle..

While writing this my ovaries hurt! :(

5 more days to go!!
