So, because I couldn’t send her to the airport,...
I know the ClearBlue pregnancy test showed the plus (+) sign which indicated that I’m pregnant. But still, I want to triple-sure that I am really (really) pregnant.
So, yesterday I left the office an hour early and dropped by at Guardian. Oh.. I got...
Yes! I tested at 2am this morning using a Clear-Blue pregnancy test. To my delight, the positive sign showed up within seconds. I rubbed my eyes, still couldn’t believe what I saw.

Ultrasound to check the eggs was done on 15 August. And, to my disbelief, I already had 3...
On 30 July 2007, I had little brownish discharge. It was so little, so I thought it was implantation bleeding.
But what is implantation bleeding? This is what I got from one of the website.

It’s been two months since I last updated this blog. Been pre-occupied with work, I was forced to ignore my little mama’s diary for a while. Now, I’m back!
To recap, my attempt in June failed eventhough my ovary produced 6 matured eggs for fertilisation....
We kept our fingers crossed and hoping for a miracle.
But, on 2 July 2007, I had my period. And, it came 6 days early from the expected date. Also, it was not like the normal period – the color started from brown to maroon...
On 15 June 2007, I went to see Dr K for the ultrasound procedure. And, there were 4 big eggs in my ovary (3 in right, 1 in left).
But, the eggs did not mature yet so we need to come again on 18 June...

The first time I did the ultrasound, I felt itchy at my private part. Maybe it was the gel. But, this time I was feeling better — no more...
During the meeting with doctor on the 4th day of my period, the doctor set the 11th day for another appointment. This is for scanning/ultrasound to see whether my ovary has produced enough eggs for IUI.
Doctor K said that if there is more than...
On the second day that I consumed the Clomid, my body was aching all over. Cramps… tiredness…. headaches…. came at the same time. That were exactly the same symptoms that I’ll have during pre-period.
On the 4th day, I had a TOTAL mood swing!...
After the second blood test, I was asked to wait for my next period. As soon as I got my period, I need to call LPPN to set for an appointment with a doctor.
Take note that, you’ll need to call in the afternoon (after...
