Let me have the strength...

Lagi berapa bulan 2016 akan melabuhkan tirainya. 

1 year stop treatment and it's about time for me to get back on track before the FET.

Hubby was diagnosed with slipped disc and for the past 1 month we went up and down to Ipoh to do his treatment. 

He opt for alternative medication which after 2 round, he felt much much better. 

The practitioner mentioned it is also the reason for him having a low sperm count.

He got a few more sessions of treatment and we'll see later macamana..

I've wanted to go for rawatan perubatan Islam in Melaka which I've found out that this Ustaz is good at those with fertility issues. 

But since skang ni dok ulang alik Ipoh, baik tgu settle hubby dulu baru ke Melaka. 

Matilanakkk nak ke Ipoh, Melaka every week kan.

So kita pelan2 .

In terms of supplement, this is what I'm taking/ using now :

1. 

Jus Delima Golshan. 

Rasa sama je dgn Pati Delima tu tapi sebab dasar pemalas nak bancuh Pati Delima, kita beli yg paket camni. So everyday minum 1 pouch.

2. 

Young Living Progessence Plus

Yang ni takyah telan. Just sapu je kat tengkuk. 

3. 

Jus Goyang Rapat

Hahaha. Masa memula beli ni mmg kena gelak but after trying, seriyessssssssss sedap! And yes, after consumed 3 botol, and for the last 4 cycle of period, my senggugut is gone! Like mcm takde rasa sakit apa tau-tau dah period. And I can go for 3KM marathon on my 1st day of period, travel to JB, no mood swings.. and of course tang RAPAT tu mmg rapat weh! 

4. 

Vitamin C.

Yang ni mmg hari2 hisap. 

5. 

Frankincense Young Living Oil

Yang ni saya sapu kat perut and tempat2 yg dulunya ada fibroid. Saya tak check pon fibroid saya ada lagi ke tak tapi saya rasa macam dah takde sbb darah period saya dah tak ketul2 lagi. And I always got my heavy flow nowadays. 

6. 

Himalaya Karela.

Ok ni latest. Baru beli 3 hari lepas. Nak stable kan sugar level dalam badan saya. We'll see nnt apa jadi. 

And I think I need to take back my Vit D, B Complex, Fish Oil and Coq10.

That's a lot! Matilanakkk... 

#2 Road to ICSI - Bersediakah aku?

1. Persediaan Kesihatan

Esok, hari untuk Dr. Natasha re-access my condition.
She'll be worried if my number of follicles is not helping me.

Setiap hari, I've tried not to show DH on how I felt inside.
How scared I am if there's only 2 or 3 follicles inside me.
The most I had was 5 follicles during my IUI last year and that is with the help of Clomid.

Berat badan pon sekarang ni dah byk turun since my last IUI.
I lost 14kgs in total and now tinggal lagi 8kg nak kena kurangkan for the right BMI.

I've started to follow Dr. Tasha advise to take supplements like Asid Folic, Fish Oil, Co10 and Multivitamins.

So let's hope for the best in me!

2. Persediaan Mental

I am now 50-50.
Sometimes, I'm being positive but at times, I do afraid if it fails.
Whether I could accept the heart breaks.

Roller coaster of emotions.

But, DH has always been supportive.
Walaupon selalu kena hadap my mood swing.
Dia relax and cool je.
Even skang ni I tau sesgt yg dia pening kepala since the "BELOVED" government buat system minyak floating ni.
Itu pon belum tambah dgn problem staff dia yg hari2 dgn mcm2 kerenah.
I mmg tak kan amik tau pesal hal station dgn dia.
He still will do his best to take care of my feelings.
Walaupon kdg2 sakit hati jugak bila I je yg kena cari info for the fertility treatment ni and dia ley relax main game, but at the end DH ni mmg jenis YES je.
Dia ikut je apa I decide.
I think most of the guys mmg macam ni kan perangai dia.
Still rasa grateful jugak sbb dia nak jgk lah ikut kan and he will of course accompany me to every single appointment with the doctors.

Not forgetting the support that I get from my closest friends and my TTCians friends.
I read all the TTCians blogs yg dah pernah buat IVF/ICSI.
Some succeed in their 1st attempt. Some not.
So semua tuh buat I rasa confident with the decision to try the procedure.

To add to it, now I selalu dengar kat youtube / mp3 all the surah-surah dan doa utk mendapatkan zuriat instead of listening to my favorite songs.
I felt more calm of doing so.

Last week kan our 6th anniversary, since we already been doing readings on IVF/ICSI before I start with the treatment, we've both decided tema hadiah anniversary kali ni is US.
Meaning, kena beli hadiah utk 2-2 boleh guna.

Dis is what I gave him.

Dis is what he gave me.

Beli ni dgn harapan nanti kalau 2ww I tak ler sangap baring saje.
But main game sebenarnya dgn DH sebenarnya lagi stress.
So we shall see how nanti ya.

3. Persediaan Kewangan

Alhamdulillah, for the past few years after I got back from Jakarta, rezeki memang tak putus2 for both of us.
Masa buat decision to come back and work in KL, hati tu terasa jugak whether I could live as it is sbb duit oversea allowance dah tak de kan.
Sebelum ni masa dok kat Jakarta, I tak bawak pon my salary nye bank card ke sana.
DH simpankan. Online banking pon I deactivated.
Survived mmg dgn duit allowance je.

So just imagine bila balik keja kat sini, I lost like half of my income.
Tapi itulah, the more I spent on the fertility treatment, the more I get back.

Besides that, jangan kedekut dgn ur parents!
In my case, I have a mom only.

Tiap2 minggu bawak dia pegi makan kat tempat dia terasa nak makan.
If dia nak baju, I belikan dia baju or apa saja lah..
Kadang2 terdetik jugak "Bulan ni nye saving berkuranglah nmpknya" tp Alhamdulillah tak berlaku.
Mesti I akan dpt je side income dari memana and selalunya lebih dr apa yg I spent kat my mom.

Pastu bersedekah lah.
Give to those who in need.
RM 1 pon tak pe.
In my case, kalau g lepak kedai mamak tu, kalau tetiba org dtg mintak sedekah, mmg I tak bagi.
I tak percaya semua tu sbb byk case kan semua tu sindiket and they have physical ability utk buat kerja lain.
Kadang2 I siap suruh DH offer kerja kat station dia kalau dia tak buta lah.
What I do, time bukak FB tu, kalau ternampak org2 yg share post minta bantuan utk kos rawatan apa2 especially utk babies and toddlers, I will do online transfer direct.
Better that way. If kena tipu pon, itu between dia dgn Allah.
In Shaa Allah Tuhan akan give back to us the money that we spent berganda2.

So kalau untuk kos rawatan IVF/ICSI ni , In Shaa Allah we both are prepared.

4. Persediaan Cuti

Another great news, my CEO has approved my leave whenever I need it for the treatment.
But of course with condition.
Dia punya condition is simple, make sure I can be contacted at any time.

So memang bawak laptop ke mana saja la jawabnya lepas ni.


So what else?

Proxeed Plus

Last mth, DH went for another sperm test.
Bought the voucher from Groupon.
Buat dekat Damai Service Hospital.

Alhamdulillah, even still under low count punya category, but it improved from the last time we did the test.
I forced him to take Shaklee Zinc.

But, as usual, we want more.
So google here and there.
Asked some other TTCians in my WA group.

We decided to buy Proxeed Plus.

A bit expensive though but got a lot of good feedback.

So went to Klinik Medina dekat Tmn Melati.
Bought a box of it.
Last for 15 days at a cost of RM 180.

Minum pagi seblom breakfast - 1 sachet
Minum petang sebelom dinner - 1 sachet.

Mixed it with cold water.

Tgk lah lps raya nnt nak repeat test balik.

Bercuti.

Bukan bercuti ke obersee.
Bercuti dr mengambil obat-obatan Doktor.
Bercuti dr berjumpa Doktor.
Bercuti dr berulang alik ke Doktor.

Bercuti tp masih berTTC.
Cuma kekdah kali ni ditukar.

Selesai xtvt mengurut ari tu, iols di suruh mengamalkan bertungku.
Peh tu disuruh layan minum air halia + madu.

So far alhamdulillah, mmg berlambak gila angin dr badan keluar.
Kalau tak dr atas, dr bawah pon selamba.

Besides that, I just consumed shaklee.

Zinc + B Complex + Vita C + GLA + Alfafa.

Berjaya jgk consistent lepas iols setkan alarm kat phone waktu2 perlu makan supplements tu.

Hari ni CD 15.
Kalau ikut calendar, besok ovulate.
So let's BD tonite!

Kbai!

Drink Warm Water & Lemon

Start the day out with a mug of warm water and the juice of half a lemon.

It's so simple and the benefits are just too good to ignore. Warm water with lemon:

1. Boosts your immune system 

Lemons are high in Vitamin C and potassium. Vitamin C is great for fighting colds and potassium stimulates brain and nerve function and helps control blood pressure.

2. Balances pH

Lemons are an incredibly alkaline food, believe it or not. Yes, they are acidic on their own, but inside our bodies they're alkaline (the citric acid does not create acidity in the body once metabolized). As you wellness warriors know, an alkaline body is really the key to good health.

3. Helps with weight loss

Lemons are high in pectin fiber, which helps fight hunger cravings. It also has been shown that people who maintain a more alkaline diet lose weight faster. And, my experience is that when I start the day off right, it's easier to make the best choices for myself the rest of the day.

4. Aids digestion

The warm water serves to stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and peristalsis—the waves of muscle contractions within the intestinal walls that keep things moving. Lemons and limes are also high in minerals and vitamins and help loosen ama, or toxins, in the digestive tract.

5. Acts as a gentle, natural diuretic

Lemon juice helps flush out unwanted materials because lemons increase the rate of urination in the body. Toxins are, therefore, released at a faster rate which helps keep your urinary tract healthy.

6. Clears skin

The vitamin C helps decrease wrinkles and blemishes. Lemon water purges toxins from the blood which helps keep skin clear as well.

7. Hydrates the lymph system

This cup of goodness helps start the day on a hydrated note, which helps prevent dehydration (obviously) and adrenal fatigue. When your body is dehydrated, or deeply dehydrated (adrenal fatigue) it can't perform all of it's proper functions, which leads to toxic buildup, stress, constipation, and the list goes on. Your adrenals happen to be two small glands that sit on top of your kidneys, and along with your thyroid, create energy. They also secrete important hormones, including aldosterone. Aldosterone is a hormone secreted by your adrenals that regulates water levels and the concentration of minerals, like sodium, in your body, helping you stay hydrated. Your adrenals are also responsible for regulating your stress response. So, the bottom line is that you really don't want to mess with a deep state of dehydration!

Adopting just this one practice of drinking a cup of warm water with lemon in the morning for a month can radically alter your experience of the day. Don't be surprised if you begin to view mornings in a new light.

Like I said, the recipe is really simple—a cup of warm (not hot) water and the juice from half a lemon.

LPPKN - CD 11

Semalam ada appointment dgn Dr. K.
TVS scan is done to see how my eggs react towards clomid 100mg.

Sadly, I have one 1 good size of egg.

LPPKN nye procedure they won't proceed if only ada 1 egg.
Derang nak 3 at least.


Then to my surprise, Dr ckp my fibroid dah menghimpit dinding rahim.
Dia suruh remove dulu the fibroid and wanted to refer me to HKL.

Arrghh! Memang tak la I nak go thru another myomectomy session lagi kan.
Macam nak gugur jantung bila Dr K ckp mcm tuh.
Lps keluar je treatment room, I nangis.
Biarlah ramai yg tgk pon dekat LPPKN tuh.

Dr K bagi I ovidrel.
Suruh try normal dulu utk cycle ni.

Cost smlm - RM 70.

So after a round of discussion dgn Sang Suami, we both decided nak continue balik dgn Dr. Adilah.
Susah gomen ni byk sgt procedure.

Dr Adilah hari tu ckp my fibroid located dekat dgn uterine and tak kena rahim pun.
Ni Dr K ckp dah himpit dinding rahim.

I jadi confused sekejap.

Anyway, bought Pati Delima Gulsan.
And start minum malam td.

We'll see how the result nanti.


Bagi merubat kesedihan, later nak g Port Dickson with my family.
A short vaccay.

Terima kasih Suami!

Pendek kata, apa je produk yang org cakap bagus kat pasaran, I try.

All this I consumed before I had my myomectomy surgery

Ok pasnih I will update on the supplement yang currently I consumed.
