Our Baby Plan~ TCM 2nd Month

This month most likely fail. Missed the 1st day to try and somemore during the third day, ovulation ended =(

Every month seems to be a challange for us, moreover dear working schedule is so tied up. Always didn't meet the right time.

Haiz...don't know how long we have got to try. With such bad timing, we gonna waste a lot of $$ and effort too. =(

Really hope god can give us good news soon, and we can ease our mind too. If not I think I will give up once we have tried for 6 months ever since we started TCM.

And my mum recently announce that my cousin who just got married during Nov, is going to be a father soon. So stressful, after hearing the news =(

Our Baby Plan~ TCM - Dr Tan Kian Sing @ Clementi

Our next resort is to seek help from a TCM.So far there is no medical help for male infertility, so we got to give our last try for chinese TCM. Have read so much about Dr Tan, and he is suppose to be specialise in male infertility. He is also the head of fertility @ Zhong Hua Hospital so we decided to give it a try.

From our first visit,he had shown us his professionalism, from here we are willing to continue his treatment. Though dear's side is not very promising, but with regular accupuncture and his medicine it could help turn around his condition. He even recommend dear to eat Fresh Fish Maw with his medicine inorder to boost the effect.

For me, I will have to choose the best day of my cycle to do accupuncture as to help in my ovulation.

Hope with our effort, we could succeed with his help.

*Babydust to us* !!!

Our Baby Plan~ 送子娘娘

Today is Guan Yin Niang Niang birthday, we decided to pray to her at the temple and also to ask her for some help for conceive.

Mary who has been helping out in the temple, offer to help us. We travel to Jurong West where they have this big tentage set up for this day. 1st time, both of us witness the Guan Yin Niang Niang who came down to earth to receive the offerings and wishes from the common people. They are actually human being but have been possess by the God who is coming down to earth to meet us people.

1st we join the queue to offer our wishes to Qian Shou Niang Niang as respect cos its her birthday. According to Mary, she is suppose to help oversee peoples' health and career or even anything. After that, she will sit down and people will take turn to ask her for help. Till our turn, since we told her we wants a child badly. She asked me to pray to Song Zi Niang Niang and tell her what I want. After that, Song Zi Niang Niang will converse with her and she will guide her on what to do. Incredible yah!!!

Next she ask to follow her to the aisle in front of Song Zi Niang Niang, and we have to hold our hand togther with our eyes closed. I can feel that she is touching my tummy two times and a few times at my back. After that, she told us she has choosen 2 babies each for us. If mine side fails, there will be another 2 coming from him.
Most importantly, I have to maintain my health and take more nutritious food and avoid cold water.

Other than us, I have also get her help on my mum's condition. She prescribe 3 amulet for her to drink before operation and I will have to pray to her for my mum's safety.

Our Baby Plan~ KKH- Checkup Followup

Today suppose to be my ultrasound scans at their Diagnostic and Imaging Centre. After that followed by doctor visit. After the whole process of the scans, am notified that I've to wait for 1 - 1 1/2 hrs for the report to be out before I could see the doctor.

While sitting down at the waiting area for my turn, realised that the clinic is actually filled with pregnant mums who came for their follow-up visits with their gynae. Looking at them, really make me feels to be a mummy soon. Well, this still depends on our luck.

Dear is stuck with his workload and he is not able to come down with me. Would expect doctor to review our reports with us.

After waiting patiently for almost 2 hours, finally I heard my name been called.
Luckily it was the same Dr we seen during our 1st visit. At least he could followup with us better, as he knows our health history. He was surprised dear did not come with me, but nevertheless he will explain all the details to me and I will convey to him.

To my surprise, he told me that my report shows I am perfectly fine without any problem conceiving. He mention my Overies are healthy, hormones level normal and there is nothing abnormal found. I was so glad after what he said. The previous report from the TCM Ying Chuan and Dr Christopher Chen, is a scam! Now i believe, and luckily didn't fall into their trap if not I would have to go under the knife for un-necessary surgeries.

But...the problems lies with dear. His reports shows quite a negative remark which doctors mention its not doing us good. He suggest him to do another round of semem test to see if it is accurate.

He suggested us to consider IVF, as our only option. Me and dear is open to the idea and we are willing to give it a try.

To make his birthday fulfilling, really cracks my head off. By deciding on the places to go for dinner its another headache. Im not as romantic as him, to plan the day so well and with so many surprises. But will try my best though...hope he feels my sincere here.

Finally I have decided on this home-run restaurant where they serve good food.It is situated in a very cornered and far area at Pasir Panjang. Its not so much about the ambience but the food really taste GOOD!! Hope he did enhoy himself there.

Our Baby Plan~ KKH- Fertility Checkup

Not as bad as I thought, when we are there. It looks quite empty, maybe its an afternoon appointment, and not much patients in the clinic.

Doctor suggest us to go through the 4 phase of test.

For mine, it will be hormone test with blood test on the 2nd and 21st day from the 1st day of menses. Followed by Ultrasound Test.

For him, it will just be semen test.

Result will be out in about a month time.

Our Baby Plan~ The Tough Route

Have been 2 weeks since I tried on Atkins Diet which could help improved my problem on PCOS. Suppose to lost weight during this 2 weeks but still did not show any result, weight remain stagnant. =(

My determination is short, can't help it but still have to indulge in carbohydrates in order to calm my nerves down. My hormones level is going hay wire now, could be due to menses coming.

Really give up hope, it has been so difficult for myself and I feel that living in this world is meaningless if I have to go through such torment esp on food. Not that I am greedy but my body seems to be depriving on the nutrients it needs and asking me to feed on her.

Now I don't even wish to have kid anymore, I know it is difficult for me if nothing is done to change my situation. Will just leave it to fate, if its fated that I can't have children and I will take it. As long as we are happy living alone, we wouldn't mind if we could have any children with us.

Life is short, and I want to live to the fullest.

We are referred to KKH for further checkup on the next 2 weeks.

Wonders Of taking EPO

Feel so cheated again after reading some of the articles about Evening Primrose Oil with PCOS and Endometriosis. The Sinseh at Ying Chuan actually told me that EPO is not suitable to take for my condition now and ask me to confirm with Dr Christopher Chen which I have forgotten to do so.

Endometriosis

Evening primrose oil is perhaps best known for its ability to ease symptoms of several female problems, including pre-menstrual syndrome, endometriosis and fibrocystic breasts. During menstruation, the body releases the inflammatory kind of prostaglandins. But by interfering with the production of these prostaglandins, the GLA in evening primrose oil may help alleviate menstrual cramps. Because some women with PMS have trouble converting linoleic acid into GLA, they may benefit from the added GLA in evening primrose oil. Sufferers of PMS have been found to have decreased levels of GLA, and this may explain the effectiveness of evening primrose oil in treating PMS symptoms. The supplement may also lessen pre-menstrual breast tenderness, and the fatty acids contained in evening primrose oil are believed to reduce breast inflammation for women suffering from fibrocystic breasts. It is also thought to aid in the absorption of iodine, which is often decreased in women suffering from this condition.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome who are trying to conceive are willing to do just about anything for the joyous occasion of seeing a positive pregnancy test. Luckily, there are some fairly simple ways to get started treating your PCOS without any serious drugs or side effects. Keep in mind that PCOS should be treated and without treatment serious long term health risks may occur. However, in the short run, there are a few ways to deal with the hormonal imbalance that may help rectify the PCOS and help you conceive.

Final Choice for TCM and Gynae

This few days before the day we are heading for our next checkup, pondering alot after reading so much comments about Ying Chuan TCM and Dr Christopher Chen. Feel quite dissapointed in their professionism, alot of their patients are referred by Ying Chuan and to the two doctors that she will recognised. If those who did not go to the designated doctor she recommends, her attitude will be different and perhaps she may not want to prescibe her medication.

Same for Dr Chen, alot of his patient after been diagnosed and they intend to heed for 2nd opinion. And true enough, the report shows the opposite. From here you could see that both Ying Chuan and Dr Chen might be just helping each other to earn more commission by intro patients to each other. So they already have a plan to how they should diagnose their patient.

After much discussion with dear, we decide to take another route and seek for another doctor's opinion. We will be visiting KKH for our checkup together, but before that we will have to go polyclinic for referal and definitely it will save us alot from here compared to going to Dr Chen's clinic.

If down the road, in need of taking medication or if surgeries is needed. At least the cost won't be a burden for us and is bearable.

After our visit to KKH, we decide to seek treatment from either Thong Chai Medical hall who has already made their names from the charity show. They have many successful stories in treating infertility esp there is one mother who had twins after their treatment. This mother is also having the same problem as me with PCOS. But not sure if she has Endometriosis. No matter what, at least she is able to overcome her problem and even had a pair of beautiful twins. And the thought of her story, it really motivate me to go to them. But the disadvantage is that we have to brew the medicine ourselves compared to Ying Chuan where they provide medicine in pills or powder form. Have heard that, their treatment procedure will be broken into few phases responding to our menses cycle. Meaning will have to go visit the sinseh when time is ripe during menses, ovulation or after ovulation. This will pose to be a very difficult time for us, as both of us is working adults. But come to think of it, it may be worth doing this.

Another TCM we are considering is Ban Choon Chan at marine parade. They are quite famous though as they have made many of their patients pregnant too. But their medicines will be the brew type also.

Since we have an idea of which TCM and Gynae to choose from,the route shall be easy to decide and we will have to take the hardship to overcome our problems for our future baby.

Our Fertility Checkup

Today our checkup with Dr Christopher Chen.

I've done my ultrasound and pepsmear, and realise that I have more than just Endometriosis. There is another Polycystic Ovary Syndrome which I didn't realise when the sinseh indicated on the diagnosis paper. And also my uterus which tilts towards the back. Didn't know that my overies is so unhealthy and its not fit for conceiving.

Next will be Dear who needs to go through the Semem test and also to see if my cervical mucus and his semem actually can match to conceive. Blood test is done also to check for any germs or bacterias which is harmful for both of us.

After all the tests and reports, it will be another 2 weeks more before we could go back to the sinseh again.

Hope the sinseh medicines can really work wonders for us without us going for any surgeries.

Our Fertility Enhancer




Come across this product from forum, and decide to give it a try. Hope this could assist us in conceiving as my vagina always seems to be dry which is not a very good environment for conception to happen. Had read alot of success stories after using this brand of lubricants and glad that I could still get it from singapore. Bought it online from Mr & Mrs Smith The Couple Store.

Baby Dust to Us !!!

Ahead with our plan

Now he says he decided to go for the checkup. Don't want to regret down the road if we really have difficulty conceiving.

Well, hope for the best for us. It may be a difficult route to take.

Lost Hope

Very disappointed...

Perhaps he really not keen to have kid. Understand that the checkup fees may be expensive, but if it is for the seek of our child. It may be worth it.

Though we have agreed that its fine without kids, but at least I want to give my best to try for one.

Now my condition may not allow me to have child, Its best to put off the plan.

Well maybe its fated that I am not going to be a mother...

TCM Visit

Ying Chuan Chinese Medical Hall
Blk 202 Jurong East St 21

We have made up our mind to visit the TCM to diagnose our health status.

As what we are told, she indeed is very popular and we even tried to wake up as early as 4.30am to visit her. Upon reaching there, we already saw a long snake queue ahead of us. Imaging on a rainy morning, and yet people is willing to go early to queue for a number.

I felt quite relieve after her diagnose, though me and dear's condition is not very good. But at least we know what has been hindering us with our plan. We will proceed to visit the gynae recommended by her for a fertility check before we continue the treatment from her again.

Its Implantation Day or Period?

Feeling anxious and eager to know if my menses will come today...

In my heart, hoping it will not appear. Till the night, it didn't come. Hurray!!!

After reached home, time for bathe and realise there is this brown discharge which I think it could be some implantation bleeding where I read online. Though there isn't much cramps but really hope I am right. To make sure that I am not wrong, wipe myself with some tissue, and there is some tint of blood on it but not heavy. Cross my finger now, hope I will not see the flow getting heavier the next day and that might be my period. Following, while clearing my nostril with tissue, I realise there is some blood stains on it. To my curiousity, I search online to see if it is one of the first sign of pregnancy. And the possibilities is there.

Well, will wait for another few more days to see whats going to happen. If till Friday and there is still no sign of menses, its time for the result to be out!

I'm so excited !!! Will pray hard for a positive result within this few days of hope. =D

Today meet up with my ex colleague, but she commented that though I'm with her but my soul is not around. I asked, why she think so. Cos she can feel that my heart is away to nepal with you. =)

Haha that must be so call "Love Sick" which people always says. I have been feeling restless and tired for no reason since you are away, perhaps is because been missing you too much.

Dear dear quickly come back, and hope you won't leave us for so long ever again... I feel terrible and really helpless when you are not around.

Thank You Dear !!!

Thanks for your moltivation once again. I have recieved your card and am very touched and surprise. Though you are not with me, but you are always in my heart.
With you in my thoughts, I will not fall and will always move on strongly.

Now things have change around, just like having an injection and had bring me alive! Had a good talk with Jerry and realise that I am not an abandon pet in the farm but a treasured one instead. With her words and encouragement, I decided to stay on and work hard for her and myself and of cause for you, my dear. Now that I had the chance to go for the course I wish to go with the subsidise from the company, it gives me another hope to move on. Next time, If I were to really leave the company for good I will have other alternative career opportunities. Though it will be a long term course, but I will strive on.

Not forgetting, after this incident we even have come out with another career path. I am sure if we can work hard together,as long as we are happy with a common goal I am happy. =)

Hope you are doing fine at Nepal, havent get to hear any news from you yet. Counting down the time, waiting for you to come back home...

The Downfall Of My Life

I finally can feel the pain and difficult times which happens to you last year.
It is really painful and dissapointed when one feels totally rejected by someone who have been working with me for years. But I know there will be someone who can always give me the support and motivation to move on.

I know I am not good at mushy words in front of you, but I really feel fortunate to have you behind me supporting me and not let me fall.

Thanks Dear, without you I think I can't move on with my days and still be dwelling over the bad times I have in the company. And I have been crying over the past two days, till you are back.

Thanks for the hope, support and the direction you have given me. You have been encouraging me and even find me the light of hope.

Now that we have made further plans, and will be working together. I feel much more secured and I am sure we can make it! Give me slightly more time, I know with you together with me definitely I could make it.

Hopes for our Little One.

Ever since we have decided to have another additional to our newly build home. Have been feeling so eager towards each month, to know if we will have our little tiger or rabbit. Some signs seems to be so real but it is so misleading when we know that we had failed each time.

Putting more hopes towards the coming month and have been doing so much research on tips to increase the chances of our conceive plan. Have been trying to put on full effort on diet and even taking supplement for both of us. Will try to eat more healthily from tomorrow onwards and build a good body for our future little one.

Even had ways to track on ovulation period , just hoping that I could hit the bull eyes if I'm on the right track.

Had read so much, people been putting much more effort but still they took years to succeed. Knowing that its not easy, but still hope luck is on us the next time and may God be with us to help on us.

2010 ~ the new year starts

Its another year again. To recall back to 2009, its definitely a fruitful and most memoriable year of my life. We had our wedding and been happily busy for about a year.
Though its almost tough for me as there is lots of obstacle due to Dear's job change and unstability during the year. But well, we manage to pull through.

Not forgetting we finally able to go for our honeymoon which is quite unexpected. We manage to get to our ever dream on Tokyo! I am very happy and really thanks to dear who have been making this great effort for this trip.

This year, it didn't start off as well as I wish to. Has been quite down due to mum's health being deteoriating. Feel really helpless but well just have to leave it to fate. I wish I could be there for her whenever I can. As I know time will be running short, but I hope she can be healthy and stay longevity for as long. Will always treasure the time with her whenever I can.

Really hope time can pass as fast as possible so that dear can finish his training fast to be able to come home everyday for us. Our home is not complete without dear around in the house. I like to see him home everyday.

But for this while luckily Mickey is here for me everyday =)
