Soy itu Choy

Just nak share some info kpd sape2 yg taktau. Jgn ambik Soya berlebihan. aku rase aku tau salah satu punca kenape aku ni infertile, selain drp suke sgt minom nescafe dulu, aku suke minom soya bean.

which is sbenanye adalah tidak bagos utk kesihatan org pompuan. tidak bagos utk menstrual period, and for fertility. well, utk yg dah ada anak tak semestinye korang will continue to be fertile gak in the next few years kan. so better kite elakkan. (alaa tp soya bean sedap) utk menopausal symptom je dia bagos. nak paste semua takleh nnt aku kene marah lagi dgn matsaleh sbb copy paste diorg nye article.yg psl aku citer lowfat milk takbagos bwh2 ni, owner dia bising kat aku. (ele tu pon bising) :P aku nye gamba wedding dipergunekan sesuke ati oleh media aku tak bising pon. (ye la sbb aku tak own the copyright, cs yg punya!) heheh. ngade aa, aku nak paste gak sbenanye sbb info diorg bagos.

Eh aku dah minom dah air rebusan buah zuriat tu. hehe. betol la mcm semua org ckp, nak ketok buah tu mmg susah nak mampos. hari selase aritu aku buke kat umah mak mertua aku. so laki aku soh bwk skali buah tu sbb kat umah tu parang semua ada. so mase nak bukak tu mcm biase la adek2 dgn mak semua tanye la, AMENDE NIH???!! kene gak la aku citer..bende ni buah zuriat. adek ipar aku yg tgh sarat ngandong cam teros senyum2.."waaa..ade ek bende2 gini? takpenah tau pon." free je la aku sound balik "yelaa, org yg sng mengandung takyah tau ponn..takyah buat bende2 ni. org yg susah mengandung jek kene buat mcm2"

"ish ko ni jgn aa ckp camtu jian..mengandong pon ko ingat sng! ni aku nak jalan pon susah"

hoho komplen pulak bile dah mengandong tuh.

lepas tu lepas ketok dkt 10minit..kelentang kelentong mcm nak buat rumah dah laki aku. ambik batu bata semua. peh mmg mencabar siot nak bukak. buah tu lagi kecik drp tapak tangan je sbenanye. nak kopak buah kelape pon tak sesusah tu.kalau aku yg kene bukak mmg takkan leh bukak sampai bile2. astu bile dah berjaya kopak satu, rupenye ade SATU LAGI dlm dia! yg itu isi dia. die dok dlm shell gak. ha dok ketok2 lagi. sampai nampak isi putih tu. sebijik mcm gamba ni la. itu baru sebijik. sebijik lagi nak kopak pon lagi susah. last2 dpt gak kopak semua. wangi sgt bau dia. mcm kurma.

astu mlm smlm aku baru nak rebus air dia. ak aa betol, air dia jadi cam coklet2+oren. lepas dah rebus tu aku dgn laki aku minom. rase die mcm manis manis tawar. cam jus kurma yg tawar. tp ade kelat2 sket aa. takde la terok pon rase dia. nak kate sedap pon x jugak tapi rase die ok la. mmg mule2 minom tu tangkap sket kat kepale. lps tu dah ok.

ada lagi 39 hari lagi kene minum air rebusan tu. sampai rebus tak kuar kaler ape2.

Them

I was browsing some ex-clients flickr, blogs since yesterday just to find out have they got their baby yet. happy to know some of them anak dah nak masok 2tahon, ada yg nak masok anak no 2, and ada yg baru melahirkan, ada yg baru pregnant! a client name Sabarina whom we call Syber dah pregnant dah. aini yg kepoh kat aku. hehehe. dulu aku penah marah aini sbb die gi tulis kat wall syber "oitt anak dah brapa dah?" walhal syber baru je post kat wall dia dgn hurop besar2 "PCOS". so aini tidak tau PCOS tu apekejadahnye. aku pon bukanmain marah sbb die gi tanye anak dah brape n suroh aini delete post dia tu. aini pon delete. hahahaha. ye ah weh, die baru je ckp die PCOS ko gi tanye lak anak dah brape. ye la, mmg org yg ade penyaket tu je la tau PCOS tu amendenye. kalau takde, mmg taktau. akhirnye Syber dah pregnant sbb tgk gamba2 die husband n kwn2 dia ade pegang perot dia. so happy for her! sbb die kawin rasenye end of 2007 kott or early 2008. xingat. tp mmg dah lame. die baik sgt. mase nak ambik album, siap blanje aku dgn sapek prosperity burger kat mcd. alamak sedapnye. Jadi bile melihat org sepenyaket dgn aku telah pregnant, aku lebih bersemangat n kene bersabar sbb nnt akan tibe masa aku lak. insyallahh.

then aku browse2 lagi aku teringat lagi seorang client yg blognye begitu popular serata malaysia (adinang yg ckp.sbb views die gile byk). chicsinred or name die sharina. aku penah ambik gamba die bertunang dulu. teringat lak mcm nak sebok die dah ade anak ke belom. so bile aku bace2 blog dia, semua cite life dia and pasal kucing, hmm takde lak psl anak. biase org kalau dah ade anak, mesti citer nye kan. or kalau die tgh pregnant, mesti ade cite pregnant. pon takda. aku gi page blkg2, pon takde, semue cite biasa2. last2 aku terpandang tags sbelah tu, ade perkataan 'baby'. so aku pon klik. rupenye mmg belom pregnant, and kisahnye die mcm belom ready. ye la setau aku dia ni dulu lepas kawin cam sambung blaja semua..logic la kalau blom ready pon. tp by now maybe dah habis blaja. mmg betol die ade bebel psl makcik2 yg suke bertanyekan KILLER QUESTION tu. bila lagi? dah ada ke? yg lawak nak mampos, die ckp satu hari tu makcik2 di kampong semue dah advance, dah tak tanye soklan2 tu. instead, dtg2 teros raba2 perot dia. teros die terkedu nak menjawap jawapan pedih (mcm aku penah plan nak jawap before ni) sbb makcik dtg teros pegang perot. last2 die ckp, lepas ni kalau diorg buat camtu lagi, die plan nak kentut kuat2 n ckp

"sorry makcik, u pushed my kentut button"

hahahahahahahhahaa

sumpah lawakkk dohhh!!!

then aku continue la browse sana sini lagi (nampak sgt aku kat ofis ni je yg aku buat drp pagi sampai ptg) pastu ade sorg client ni dah branak gak, anak dah beso dah dkt 2 tahon kot. cute sgt! and aku rase ramai lagi ex-client aku yg dah branak. tapi masih ada lagi ex-client yg senasib dgn aku yg bole aku share stories with. diorg kawin lagi awal drp aku, diorg lebih tabah. aku kawin lepas diorg pon, aku dah dkt 2tahon kawin. gulp! eh aku dah bape lame kawin aa? aku kawin jan 2009...skang dah august 2010...1 tahon 7 bulan. oh, 5 bulan lagi nak 2tahon. takpe la, doctor ckp statistik org mengandung lepas kawin ialah dlm tempoh 2tahon majoriti. kite mungkin menggelabah sbb ramai org pregnant lepas kawin so kite suke anggap kite di tempat yg malang.

nih, gamba preview flickr kat sbelah kanan ni ---->

member aku satu dorm time skolah teknik dulu, astu leh lak satu tempat keje kat sirim ni. dia kawin end of february aritu. 2minggu lepastu aku jumpe die kat cafe die leh ckp die dah pregnant! aku teros sound "KO MAKAN BAJA POKOK KE WEH!"

hahahaha! die gelak dgn kuat. serious aku takpenah dgr news secepat nih. maksodnye time kawin tu betol2 time ovulation la tu kot. wah gile tepat timing dia! hehe! dgn celuparnye aku sound lagi "NI hasil malam pertame ah nih??" "hehehehehe" die gelak gedik lagi. sbenanye mase aku gi kenduri kawin dia tu aku tibe2 terdetik dlm hati "dia ni mesti cpt pregnant nih" jakgi betol rupenye! masin kata hati aku. :P name die Kecik. die lebih kecik drp aku. dulu kat CS aku takbrape berkenan org panggil aku kecik sbb aku mmg dah ade kwn name kecik. abis tu dah semue nak gak panggil name kecik, lame2 aku terbiase gak la.

so si kecik ni skang dah beso gile dah perot dia walaupon baru nak masok 6bln. maybe sbb badan die kecik. teros aku terbayang gitu rupe aku kalau pregnant nnt. hee!

then 3 hari lepas ada aku lepak port biasa tempat laki aku slalu lepak bersama bdk2 band aku dan kwn2 yg lain. then ade sorg member ni dah lame taklepak, die dtg lepak n bawak bini dia. name die Yatt. Yatt ni kazen azreel, lead band aku tuh. Yatt ni kawin dah lame gak tapi takde la lame sgt. aku rase dlm bulan raya tahon lepas gak die kawin. xingat tarikh. kitorg ade pegi sampai kedah sana kenduri dia. bini dia name Ida. aku dpt tau dlm beberape bulan lps, die gugor. xtau cite la gugor bape bulan ke ape kan sbb tau cite drp orglain je. then mase jumpe aritu, mase laki aku tanye kat Yatt psl nape tukar tempat keje, die jawap teros sbb die naik pangkat (dia ni polis) lepastu teros jawap "rezeki anak la nih"

aku tgh minum air mase tu,  tersentap sket aku kalau dgr org ckp rezeki anak nih. sbb aku kan takleh ckp camtu lagi :P so mcm tersentap jeles aa. tapi mcm biase dgn cube utk tidak busuk ati, aku pandang ida teros ckp Waaa congratulations!!! bape bulan dah?

2 bulan :D ..die jawap.

astu Yatt teros sambung "ni kena jaga betol2 ni, hat yg aritu yg gugoq tu kembaq tuuu!" (dgn loghat kedah yg pekat)

aku cam HAA!! kembar keeeeee!! huwaa sayangnye!!! (kali ni aku betol2 sincere bercakap begitu sbb mmg sayang sgt kembar gugor!)

astu aku tanye Ida, mcm mana leh gugor, ade jatoh ke ape? bape bulan gugor?

"3bulan..mase tu tattau mengandung pon..takde tande ape2 cume makan byk je..tapi mmg tak period dah 3 bulan"

"abis tu tak check?"

"tak :D sbb ingatkan biase2 je tak period ni..lepastu ade seketol darah jatuh..teros pegi wad emergency..pastu doc ckp ade satu lagi kat dlm..ingat bole selamatkan yg tu, rupenye taklama lepastu yg tu pulak jatoh"

aduii sayangnyee..

"ade sdara mara yg kembar ke?"

"ada..sbelah mak.."

ooh mmg logic la pon..adoiiii..sayang laa..takpe la skg die dah pregnant blk. aku tanye die kompem ke 1 je tu? die gelak n ckp kompem sbb check heart beat ada 1 je.syukorlah, atleast dah ada.

happy for these people :)

Takut.

Tibe2 aku cam takot.

aku takot 2nd attempt aku on fertility drug september ni tak berjaya.

sedangkan ada org penah try 250mg clomid, failed. (from 50mg)

ada org try femara gak for 7.5mg, failed. (from 2.5mg)

ada org buat IUI for more than 3 times, failed.

ada org buat IVF more than 3 times gak, failed.

aku lak asik dok surf success stories of femara and sometimes it gave me some little hope. tapi still, hope is all that left. dan aku masih takot kalau tak jadi, aku sedih. aku takot aku nnt putus asa and continue secretly hating those who already got pregnant n have babies. isk :( yg plg penting, aku takot kalau takjadi kali ni, dia tak period lagi mcm haritu. so aku takleh continue utk try again and have to wait and wait utk darah turun, dan buang masa. at least i hope if this cycle fails, cik period akan dtg utk bgtau aku yg hormon aku dah ok. plisssss. so boleh continue lagi another 14days lepas tu.

amin.

2WW

2WW- stands for 2weeks wait. i never experience the normal 2ww. slalunye, lepas medication (clomid or coming soon, femara). sebab before ni takpenah period regular. tapi lepas medication mmg kena 2ww sbb lepas 2minggu, kalau period means nothing. but for my case last april, aku tak period. gotten a faint positive for a few days, then negative. blueghh.

takpe, we'll try again this september.

tadi i was browsing on this blog. very interesting n cute. both TTC and pregnant mothers share their stories there. www.pregosaur.com

so mommy-to-be and mommy-wannabes dlm ni semua ade nama 'saur' kat blkg dia. Joggersaur la Lillysaur la..astu avatar diorg cute sgt. kalau yg dah pregnant, avatar diorg gambar telor dinasaur yg dah menetas. ade baby dino dlm tu. kalau yg tgh TTC lagi, avatar tu gamba telor dinosaur yg belom menetas. heheheh.



astu aku jumpe la psl 2ww ni. what to do during 2ww. sbb 2ww ni amatlah membunoh. tak sanggop nak dpt negative test lagi. tapi kalau dah belum rezeki, terpaksa redho lah. tapi kdg2 aku heran gak matsaleh ni. ade certain things yg diorg suggest what to do during 2ww ni, yg org melayu lak bukanmain soh pantang habis. takot bile dah lekat, terjatoh plak.

50 Things To Do In The 2WW

taken from www.pregosaur.com
You have done everything trying to get pregnant. You made love regularly, enough and at the right time. But now you are facing the dreaded 2ww. The 2ww stands for "the 2 weeks wait", the time between ovulation and your menstrual period. Hopefully your menstrual period won't come and you will be rewarded with a positive pregnancy test.

Here are 50 things to do in the 2ww:

• Take your daily prenatal vitamins including folic acid


• Write a daily journal


• Update your facebook page


• Don't smoke


• Don't drink alcohol


• Set some goals and write them down


• Make a new budget


• Write down babynames


• Make your home green


• Organize your home


• Treat yourself to facials and bubble baths


• Eat healthy - leafy vegetables contain a lot of folic acid


• Go out and have good food - Once you are pregnant you may not geel like it


• Drink pineapple juice or fresh pineapple slices - contains selenium which aids with implantation - huh? nenas bukan tajam ker? ataupon ni myths org melayu? tapi mmg byk aku dgr jgn makan nenas kalau TTC sbb dia tajam. die leh mencuci n menghakis. hmm..


• Eat walnuts


• Use loose clothes : nothing that fits too tight


• Don't lift anything too heavy


• Exercise - but in moderation


• Take long walks


• Hydrate well - Drink 1 or 2 liters of water each day


• Enjoy making love - at this point it's for pure fun not baby making


• If you have to, drink coffee but limit it to 2 cups a day - i was taught to AVOID coffee while TTC not just during 2ww. maybe coffee wont do any harm to some women. but better avoid them. it's caffein and it's toxic.


• Go out


• Try to stay busy so you do not obsess too much


• Find a good obstetrician


• Investigate good hospitals


• Calculate the exact day when your pregnancy test should be positive


• Watch one dvd a day


• Send your husband a love letter each day


• Clean up the refrigerator


• Get rid of toxic chemicals in your house


• Take a regular nap - Naps are God's gift to the impatient.


• Meditate - Do Yoga


• Spend more time talking to your husband


• Go out with a girlfriend for some tea


• Ask your husband to do the vacuuming, dishwasher, laundry, and garbage disposal


• Practice peeing on a stick - with a Q tip


• Investigate life insurance


• Paint your rooms - During pregnancy the smells may drive you crazy


• Reorganize the kitchen


• Do some gardening


• Repot your plants


• Take the dog for long walks


• Check the medicine cabinet and throw out old medications


• Wash the dog


• Go to a museum - each day a different one


• Cut coupons


• Watch for maternity clothes sales


• Read a good book, or two, or three..


• Reorganize your closets

But maybe, tak semua yg di suggest di atas akan decrease/increase the chances of implantation. dia sbenanye suggest ape nak buat during 2ww tu so kite takde la terlalu tertekan utk tunggu tanpa buat ape2 yg berfaedah. sometimes aku pon tattau, matsaleh byk buat benda yg orgmelayu slalu kate Jangan buat, takboleh itu takboleh ini, walhal in the end bangsa diorg gak yg lebih sihat drp kita n hidup lebih lama. nenek2 matsaleh umur dah 80 masih bole travel sana sini.masih boleh berjalan.

contoh, Jgn minum air gas/berkarbonat.

aku adalah org yg kaki minom air coke dulu. tapi org sekeliling2 aku semua dah marah, sbb itu mungkin salah satu sebab susah nak pregnant. so aku pon stop minom air coke dan air2 gas yg lain. aku bace kat intenet pon (forum2 melayu) ramai yg melarang kita yg TTC ni minum air gas.

tapi sepanjang aku browse website matsaleh, takde satu sumber pon kate jgn minum air gas. jgn ambik coffee lebih2 (caffein) mmg ada. ada yg suggest kalau iye pon gian sgt, minom 1 cup a day je. tapi aku takpenah jumpe satu sumber yg mengatekan carbonated drinks boleh decrease the chances of pregnancy/fertility. sumpah takpenah. kalau ada please bagitau aku. bapak aku pun mmg heran dgn mitos org melayu yg takbagi anak2 diorg minum air gas. punca penyaket katenye. aku rase bukan GAS tu yg menyebabkan penyaket. sbenanye kandungan GULA yg ada dlm air gas. kalau ko tak minom air gas, tapi ko minom air sirap bandung hari2, same gak? atau air lain yg manis2. bapak aku dulu, mase die nak buat hospital sg buloh tu, dia kena melawat beberape hospital dkt germany, vienna, n negara2 lain. masa dia kat vienna tu, die ckp hospital kat sana bagi air mineral yg berkarbonat tau tak kat sana. kat sana mmg takda air mineral biase. bukan takde kot maybe jarang org minum. die kate mmg matsaleh minom air mineral yg bergas mcm Perrier tu. bapak aku ckp air gas ni bagos utk digestion, utk buang angin. kalau benda tu takbagos, nape kat hospital diorg mmg bagi air gas? aku pon tattau nak kate. tapi maybe, kite leh minum skali skala, then disusuli dgn minum air masak yg byk utk neutralize kan balik. aku pon tattau. tapi aku rasa elok kite takyah minum air gas kerana GULA dlm tu byk sgt.

Jangan makan nenas, or minum air nenas.

Tibe2 yg diorg suggest utk 2ww atas ni, lagi suruh makan nenas sbb ade selenium. yg org kite dok kate, taklehhh, tajammmm. astu ade stengah sumber yg aku penah dgr, kalau org terpregnant anak luar nikah, beriye2 diorg dok makan nenas raw tu sbb nak bagi jatoh. (tattau la hasilnye, jatoh ke tak) maksodnye mmg org kita mempercayai yg nenas itu mmg akan menjatohkan janin/benih yg baru nak jadi. astu lak, produk biodex yg D-toxy tu pon mmg ada nenas dlm tu, tujuannye utk Detox usus&rahim kita kalau2 ada darah lama tersumbat. Still, ertinye bende tu tajam. tapi kenape matsaleh menggalakkan makan nenas plak? Haih takpaham aku. maybe perot kita dgn dia lain?

15 Years TTC

Wahai rakan2 yg TTC seperti aku,

sila lah baca testi bawah ni utk semangat kite bersama. ni aku ambik from website biodex. bukan nak promo produk biodex tu, tapi 'ketabahan' akak nih selame 15 years, dah la mase awal die kawin lepas check dgn pakar, die takde masalah kesuburan lansong, telor semua besar2 n banyak. kalau orglain tade masalah nak pregnant cepat. laki dia pon takde sperm problem. tapi bayang la 15 years beb..

sbb tu aku mcm bengang sket kalau org baru 4 5 bulan kawin tapi gelabah siap menangis bagai stress sana sini sbb tak pregnant lagi. fikir lah ada orglain yg berbelas tahun tu. so kite kene byk bersabar n jgn gelabah lebih. Allah ada sebab kenape die bagi org tu cepat, org ni lambat, org ni takde lansong. mmg kite dah ditetapkan sesuatu tarikh tu bile kite akan dpt anak..same mcm bile kite dilahirkan, bile kite jumpe jodoh..and bile kite mati. semue tu dah tertulis. kite cume perlu berusahe jek. tp it doesnt mean jugak ko leh dok diam je tunggu bile masa ko sampai. camtu tuhan pon marah. kdg2 Allah bagi kita lambat sbb nak bagi kite peluang utk menyehatkan badan kita, so that kita well prepared utk pregnant nnt. mungkin kalau kite awal2 dah pregnant dgn keadaan diri yg taksihat, akan memudaratkan diri sendri or baby kita tu.

atau mungkin Allah nak kita dgn husband kite betol2 mengenali each other (walaupon dah mcm brape kurun kenal dia) tapi maybe kite tak betol2 faham laki kite same mcm laki kite tak faham kite lagi. so masa belom ade anak ni Allah mungkin suroh kite bijak bertolak ansur, meluahkan ape2 yg selame ni tak settle, supaye jgn bile ade anak nnt byk perkare berbangkit or xpuas ati and make things worst.  sbb tu kena sangke baik pada Allah. Dia lagi sayang kita sbb tu Dia takbagi kita skang. please remember that, jay. takde org akan kate ko mandul kalau ko baru setahon jagong kawin xpregnant lagi. bukan lah aku kate kite pon kene tunggu berbelas tahon, tapi atleast ikot je ckp dokter, kalau dokter kate lepas setahon tak pregnant baru leh checkup, tunggu je la setahon. aku ngam2 setahon teros berurut. setahon sebulan teros jumpe gynae. atas nasihat sorg akak kat tempat keje aku ni yg 12years baru pregnant, die ckp jgn jadi ignorant. sbb ade stengah org ignorant sgt..jenis takkesah takpe la tunggu gak 2 3 tahon baru nak gi check. mcm akak tempat keje aku ni, die lepas 4 5 tahon camtu baru nak gi check. sbb before tu cam ignorant. astu sebok keje sgt. lepas check baru tau mcm2 problem n tempoh nak cure semua problem tu ambik masa lame sgt sampai 12 tahon. attempt2 before tu berjaya tapi gugor 2 kali. akhirnya 12tahon kawin baru dpt anak. so dia nasihatkan aku, jgn tunggu lama2 mcm dia. cukop setahon pegi check. lepas tu rilek n jgn byk stress, byk berdoa. ye la kite ni jadi taksaba sbb org semue dok tanye2 n kite tgk orglain semue sng pregnant kan. aku pon camtu gak. tp kene think positive la.

jom bace testi nih. ni aku petik ayat2 last je sbb awal2 dia tu panjang sgt.

"......Mungkin setakat tiga empat tahun masih boleh bersabar tetapi jika dah berbelas tahun pastinya harapan sudah tiada lagi. Saya benar-benar kecewa dan apabila mengenang nasib diri pastinya airmatalah peneman setia. Saya menangis sepuas-puasnya. Memikirkan perasaan suami yang inginkan zuriat, saya pernah merelakan suami tercinta untuk berkahwin lain,moga-moga impiannya tercapai. Biarlah saya korbankan perasaan ini asalkan suami yang di cintai bahagia dan di kurniakan cahayamata.Memang benar, tiada isteri yang sanggup merelakan suaminya berkahwin lain namun saya korbankan perasaan sendiri untuk membahagiakan suami jika hanya cara ini dapat membantunya untuk mendapatkan zuriat. Namun suami saya menolak, pernah juga saya mengemukakan cadangan untuk mengambil anak angkat dari golongan keluarga yang susah tetapi suami juga menolaknya. Katanya, jika ditakdirkan kita tiada zuriat sehingga hari tua, biarlah kita berdua tinggal sahaja dirumah orang-orang tua. Mendengar kata-katanya membuatkan saya benar-benar sayu dan sedih. Sebenarnya saya sudah puas berusaha. Sejak di awal perkahwinan lagi kami telahpun membuat pemeriksaan dan doktor mengesahkan saya tidak mengalami masalah kesuburan, telur yang ada cukup banyak serta besar. Begitu juga suami saya, dia juga disahkan tiada masalah. Walaupun begitu saya tetap membuat rawatan kesuburan dan apabila saya belum hamil saya di cadangkan menjalani kaedah IUI. Namun setelah 2 kali melakukan IUI, saya masih gagal hamil dan saya nekad untuk melakukan IVF. Saya ke Kuantan untuk meneruskan niat saya dan ingin berdaftar di bawah TAFF. Sementara menunggu menyiapkan segala dokumen dan prosedur yang mengambil masa lebih kurang setahun, saya mengambil keputusan mencuba Program Kehamilan Biodex (PKB). Selama 2 bulan lebih mengamalkannya, berat badan turun dari 63kg kepada 58 kg. Saya sangat gembira dengan perubahan ini kerana sebelum saya menjalani rawatan kesuburan dahulu berat saya hanya 43 kg tetapi kesan sampingan dari rawatan itu berat badan saya naik mendadak.Atas kesan positif ini saya meneruskan PKB sehinggalah pada pertengahan Jun 08 saya mengalami pening-pening dan muntah-muntah pada waktu pagi. Saya membuat ujian UPT dan alangkah terkejutnya apabila keputusannya positif.Tidak puas hati dan tidak percaya dengan apa yang di lihat, saya membeli 1 dozen(1 kotak besar) kertas ujian UPT dan membuat 'urine test' berulang kali sehinggalah saya benar-benar yakin keputusannya adalah POSITIF. Saya segera ke klinik dan doktor mengesahkan saya sudah hamil 2 bulan. Alangkah gembiranya saya pada waktu itu, tidak dapat saya gambarkan dengan kata-kata, tidak sedar airmata peneman setia saya selama ini terus mengalir laju. Syukur kehadrat Ilahi dan terima kasih Biodex kerana akhirnya saya berjaya hamil. Mendengar berita gembira ini, ibu mertua saya terus mengadakan kenduri kesyukuran dan doa selamat. Rupa-rupanya selama ini ramai yang mendoakan saya dan berharap kami dikurniakan zuriat. -NorHasliza Ismail 35tahun.

Touching siot. beli satu dozen UPT sbb takpecaye sgt. betape lame gilenye die tunggu..ish..bersabar sungguh akak nih.

Rupanya LOW FAT MILK tu tak bagos. aku tattau lansong. aku rase ini adalah salah SATU sebab gak utk hormone imbalance aku nih. aku before ni mase kurus kering aku mmg minom full cream milk. (aku mmg sgt suke susu). tapi since aku kawin ni aku tukar ke low fat sbb kan aku start taking hormone medication jadah semua so dah aa ubat2 tu pon kasi gemok, takkan nak gi minom full cream milk lak.

hmm ni aku mmg tattau ni. ingat low fat tu healthy je. maybe not to us yg trying to conceive kot. nak2 lagi susu lembu yg low fat lak. susu kambing OK. baca entry bawah ni.

tapi ade jek org yg takyah minom susu ape2 pon rajin je die mengandung. maybe healthy fats lain yg die ambik tu mencukupi?

Goat's Milk.

How Does Goats Milk Compare to Cows Milk?

By April Sanders, eHow Contributor

Milk

Milk is a popular drink the world over. Almost 75 percent of the milk the world drinks, however, is goat's milk, unlike in the United States, where cow's milk is the popular choice. Does the world know something America doesn't? In a word, yes. Overall, goat milk is much healthier for humans to drink than cow's milk. Goats are also easier and cheaper to raise than cows. Goat's milk is known to be very close in makeup to human breast milk. In fact, children who drink goat's milk gain more weight and have better skeletal mineralization, blood vitamin makeup, stature and bone density, and healthier levels of riboflavin, niacin, and thiamine than children who drink cow's milk.

Vitamins and Digestion

Goat's milk is higher in vitamin A than cow's milk, and it is found in a purer form; ready to be absorbed by the body. Cow's milk, on the other hand, contains vitamin A in carotenoid form, which means the human body must work to turn it into vitamin A before it can become beneficial. Goat's milk also has more riboflavin, potassium, protein (nine grams in one cup, as compared to seven) and calcium than cow milk. A cup of goat's milk also supplies more protein than a cup of cow's milk, nine grams to eight. Goat's milk is also more easily digested by the body because it has less fat and those fat molecules are only one-fifth the size of those in cow's milk. In addition, goat's milk helps to cure constipation.

Hormones and Fatty Acids

Goat's milk contains every amino acid that is essential to the body, making it a fully complete protein. In addition, Goat's milk is loaded with fatty acids--almost three times as much as cow's milk--that are known to help fight certain diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, heart disease and many digestive diseases and problems. In addition, half of lactose intolerant people who cannot drink cow's milk can drink goat's milk with no problems. Finally, goat's milk has the added benefit of being hormone-free, unlike some cow's milk. Cows are frequently given milk-producing hormones that make their way into our dairy products. These hormones are thought to have increased the age of onset of puberty in girls and contributed to infertility problems in some women. Luckily, it is now possible to find milk taken from hormone-free cows.

Susu kambing is what i'll be drinking from now on. Mbekkkkk

Buah Zuriat

Buah ni mmg sgt popular dikalangan org2 yg TTC. kalau yg sng pregnant tu, mungkin dia taktau sbb dia takkan cari. aku sendri pon baru je tau sbb aku bace2 forum. buah ni susah nak dpt, kat Mekah je. so kalau nak kene kirim kat org2 yg pegi sana.

tapi psl aku takleh nak sabar sgt, aku search jugak online mane tau ade org jual benda ni. Alhamdullillah, jumpa. org ni iklankan dkt blog2 & forum2 org yg TTC. aku pon teros sms dia. dia jual mahal sket RM40 sepasang. sbb yg aku tau buah ni kalau kat mekah baru 1Riyal je. tapi sbb nak sgt, 40inggit tu apelah sgt kan. nak pegi sana bile pulak.

buah ni aku dah dpt dah semalam. ni pic dia, (copy drp website orglain)



Siapa nak boleh la sms Ira Sulaiman 016-9865624. heh aku bagi promot free je. tapi maybe it is worth the try. ade byk sgt cara nak makan buah ni. ni some info yg aku dpt from beberape forum & blogs.

from blog irtiyah:

kata sumber yg saya rujuk tu.. kena rebus setiap hari sambil di tambah air.. saya rebus lebih kurang setengah jam.. buat sehingga hilang zat buah.. mungkin rasa akan semakin tawar kot. Suami isteri minum sekali setiap hari dengan baca basmalah [bismillahirrahmanirrahim] dan ayat 38 surah Al Imran yg diulang 3 kali. Ini antara web yang saya maksudkan.. http://www.hamidarshat.com/smf/index.php?action=printpage;topic=283.0

from RATUHATI forum

Sebelum ni ada member Suria bagi buah ni.

Dia kata cara makan rendam dlm air & minum 6x sehari.

Tapi ikut mak cik Suria dia kata rendam dalam susu, baca selawat 1000x

baru minum.

Tapi Suria x buat2 lagi. Kalau kira2 selawat 1000x = 1.5jam.

InsyaALLAH Suria akan buat.

Mak Suria pun dah bebel .

Ye lah, kalau betul2 nak zuriat selawat 1000x tu bukan masalah.

Mungkin ada kebenarannya dgn selawat 1000x boleh beri ketenangan jiwa

di samping tu mungkin boleh memulihkan rohani kita..

Secara jujurnya saya sendiri tidak pernah mengambil buah zuriat ini. Mungkin dalam masa terdekat ini saya akan mencuba. Tetapi saya akan berikan panduan cara2 menggunakan buah zuriat ini. Panduan ini saya perolehi hasil maklumat daripada beberapa pertanyaan dengan ibu mertua, kenalan dan ustaz di kawasan saya.

Saya akan usaha utk terangkan secara ringkas

1. Pecahkan 2 biji buah zuriat ( Menurut ustaz mesti direbus 2 biji sekali rebus. umpamanya suami isteri)

2. Bila dah pecahkan buah tu..rupa dia mcm kelapa...pastu belah kepada dua sampai nampak isirung dia.. (macam isirung kelapa)

3. Letak air lebih kurang dalam periuk rebusan dan rebus hingga tinggal separuh drpd air yg dimasukkan. air dia lebih kurang kaler coklat2

4. Minum air nya setiap hari selama 40 hari atau lebih sehingga preggy ( suami isteri minum )

5. Ulang langkah 2 sampai kaler air tu jadi putih....(Lama2 air rebusan buah tu jadi pudar.)

Heh, mane satu aku nak ikot ni agaknye. takpe aku rase semue pon boleh. aku baca skali tu kene minum time subor. sbb tu aku tak start lagi. tapi nih die kate kene minom 40hari lak. memandangkan aku xsabar2, aku rase aku nak try skang lah. aku ade arituh kirim kat nana soh die gitau mak dia yg nak gi umrah taklame lagi nih. kalau ade rezki aku dpt lagi buah tu takpe la. aku minum je sampai la aku pregnant. kalau mak die takjumpe buah tu katsana, aku leh order dgn ira sulaiman ni.

byk lagi aku dgr, minum air serbuk kurma, buah delima dan sbgnya. aku try nih dulu.

wah boleh dikatekan aku try semua yg modern & traditional serentak. tapi aku takpenah letih. aku rase lagi bersemangat & seronok lak.

aku cume saket jiwe kalau org suke memandang mcm tayik kat aku sbb aku tak pregnant2 lagi. astu mcm perli2. takpe. aku maafkan diorg. aku anggap je diorg ni org yg kurang bertuah. haha..kurang bertuah?

alamak habis la aku, nak raya dah ni. jap kang makcik tu tanya makcik ni tanya..ok aku dah tetap dgn jawapan aku.

Kalau makcik yg baik & mean no harm, kite jawap: "Belom rezeki lagi, haritu dah ada tapi gugor..insyallah lagi 2 3 bulan mengandung la (senyum manis2)" atau "mmg ada masalah sket tapi tgh treatment la ni, kalau dah baik semua insyallah mengandung laa" (senyum manis2 lagi)

Kalau makcik yg sengaje nak tanye n takpuas ati asal lame sgt tak pregnant2, jawap: "Bulan 10 ni saye mengandung. jgn risau."

astu kompem die tanye balik: "Eh mcm mana lak ko tau bulan 10?"

jawap balik: "Abih dah tanya bila nak ade isi, saya pon tattau tuhan nak kasi bila??! jadi saye jawap je la bulan brape2 pun!"

heheh.

Egg!

Lawak aa satu minah matsaleh ni

die same kes la nih dgn aku. tak ovulate and telor kecik. tibe2 lepas beberape attempt on clomid and femara, akhirnya doctor gitau die ade telor yg cukop besar n matang. astu die cam happy nak mampos sbb die ade telor n gitau semue nurse2 kat situh. aku rase aku pon akan jadi sewel mcm dia kalau doctor gitau aku gitu gak. hahaha!

Thanks so much girls! Your support means so much to me and is ver much needed! I am still in shock! I was so happy at the DR that I told all the nurses "I have an egg!!!!" They probably thought I was nuts! We will definitly enjoy the "babydancing" I wish all of you the best and I hope we all get to become mommies very soon!

BABY DUST AND HUGS TO YOU :)

"baby dancing" means buat anak dlm term of infertility chats. or short form dia, 'bd'

Ramadhan

dah mula ramadhan..aku berazam nak berbual amal sebanyak mungkin, amin.

aku dah start 2nd cycle of birthcontrol (Diane35) tu. aku period haritu sgt banyak tapi skejap je dlm 5hari.

so harini aku bole la puase. aku period tu awal drp tarikh sepatotnye, and habis cepat. naseb baik la so bole la berterawikh smlm. untong umah aku dekat gile dgn masjid,..aku gi jalan kaki jek dgn along. aku rase cam dah bertahon2 gak aku tak gi terawikh. mase budak2 dulu rajin gile. haihh rosakkkk

hehehe

aku teringat lak nak citer sal ape bapak mertua aku pesan. aritu kwn2 along lepak umah along yg kat sek20 tu. mase tu sbb angah saket, lepas berubat diorg layan lpk sampai 2 3 pagi sbb bapak mertua aku dandan lak berceramah bagai kat diorg. hahaha..so aku dan adek2 ipar aku join skali la dgr ape yg die dok bebel.

die bebel psl sedekah & zakat. aku baru tau zakat yg mase org dok byr time nak raya tu just zakat fitrah. and kebanyakkan org lepas byr zakat fitrah, Im DONE. rupenye zakat harta semua lain lak..kite sepatotnye byr zakat setiap bulan dlm 2.5% or suku drp gaji kita. byr zakat tu takkesah la, sedekah masjid ke, org susah ke..so that hidup kita ni walaupon sederhana, kita tak sesak psl duit. kan kdg2 org tu gaji byk, tapi still sesak gak. tgh bulan duit dah habis. (seperti aku) hahaha! dulu gaji keje CS takpenah cukop walaupon nak banding dgn gaji keje sirim ni, berganda2 lagi gaji mase kat cs. tapi? sket2 tgh bulan aku pinjam kat ceti (aini) heheheheh

bapak mertua aku ckp. org yg jarang bersedekah/byr zakat, Allah akan uji mcm2 yg bagi kita sesak duit. contohnye, kite jatoh saket la, kete asik rosak la, asik kene repair kete walaupon kete baru beli. (MCM KENAL JE!) haihh! aku lagi tuh! so disebabkan kite jarang bersedekah, duit kite terbang ke arah bende2 tu. PATOT LA KETE AKU ASIK TAYAR PECAH JEKK yg si satria neo tuh! tayar dah aa mahal!

aku mengaku. aku mmg jarang bersedekah. aku just bersedekah singgit 2inggit kalau aku tgh makan then ade org bute dtg. or anak yatim. itu pon kdg2 aku takbrape nak bagi sgt since byk kes org tipu ni. aku pon penah nampak org tu buat2 bute tapi sbenanye tak bute. aku penah nampak org cacat ni yg takde kaki sbelah dok mintak sedekah hari2 padahal die dah ade kaki palsu. time nak mintak sedekah die bukak kaki dia. aku penah nampak budak yg ngaku anak yatim pegi main game kat ss15 dgn duit yg org bagi sedekah tu. bende2 camtu membuatkan aku cam malas nak sedekah sbb aku was2 n takot tak ikhlas. time raya, baru la bagi budak2 duit raya or bile ade kawan bersalin. yg lain2 tu aku takpenah.

padahal ramai org pesan kat aku supaye bersedekah byk2 mase mak aku meninggal dulu. baju2 mak aku yg elok2 bole disedekahkan kat org yg memerlukan. aku lak pikir aku syg sgt baju2 mak aku tu sbb mak aku yg jahit sendri baju dia. dia put much effort utk jahit baju pesen2 gulatis yg harge beratos2 tu tapi die leh buat sendri. aku jadi syg nak bagi org. tapi aku penah berazam nak bg sedare mare yg dekat2 so aku leh tgk lagi baju tu. (tapi aku takbuat2 sampai skg)

astu aku penah bernazar kalau aku dpt keje kat sirim aku akan sedekah sket duit gaji 1st aku kat masjid tempat mak aku disembahyangkan. (aku dah buat) tapi that's it la.

betol bapak mertua aku ckp. astu aku terpandang balik diri aku yg sebok usaha nak dpt anak dan masih takdpt2.

kak lin aku dulu pon (anak makchah aku) dia 2tahon lebih baru leh conceive. die jumpe mcm2 doctor last2 satu doctor ni bagi nasihat, Banyakkan bersedekah. insyallah mengandung. niat kite bersedekah tu utk peroleh zuriat. camtu la doc tu kate. then kak lin aku buat. dlm 3 bulan lepastu die mengandungkan si amani. (anak buah aku).

jadi aku rasa, betol kite kene bersedekah n berzakat. aku mmg tattau psl zakat yg kene buat tiap2 bulan ni. zakat fitrah je aku tau n aku ingat tu je satu2nye zakat. jahil tol aku. laki aku ckp die pon tattau sampai la bapak die gitau mlm tu. zakat fitrah yg dpt resit tu lain. tu org laki je buat. kalau org pompuan dah kawin, takyah. kalau lom kawin, bapak die yg byr.

2.5% drp gaji sebulan kite bukannye byk noo kan. tu pon takkan takleh buat.

azam baru bulan ramadhan ni: nak start byr zakat 2.5% each month dgn bykkan bersedekah.

kdg2 patotla kite tgk org kaya2 dan byk duit tu kdg2 byk masalah, stress, asik kene tanggung kerugian, slalu eksiden atau ditimpa mala petaka, (kdg2 yg takbrape nak kaya sgt pon terkene gak) sebab kita tidak bersedekah & berzakat. ataupon bile dah bersedekah tu, heboh plak kat org ramai. dah mcm riak.

yg aku ckp atas2 ni bukan aku riak tau, aku bukan riak tapi aku nak remind diri aku sendri ape sgt je sedekah yg aku penah buat. nampak sgt sikit gila dan patotla aku kdg2 byk masalah walaupon tak patot ade masalah pon. slalu kene spend duit kat klinik, dan supplement2 semata utk dpt anak. before2 ni lak, kete slalu problem, flash&camera slalu problem, semue bende2 yg aku buat utk cari rezeki yg buat problem kat aku. sebab rupenye, aku tidak bersedekah dgn duit gaji yg aku dpt drp sumber alat2 yg aku gunekan utk keje tu. sunggoh bodoh la aku ni.

syukor la aku cepat sedar.hadoi

Period!

yayyyy

dah perioddddddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!

lame nye tak perioddd

rinduuu

hahahaha

ade tak org mcm akuh?

New friend - Femara

Jumaat lepas (30/7/2010) aku gi klinik UMRA balik. sebab nak inform doctor yg aku dah habis Diane35 on 29th july tu and nak collect another cycle of Diane35 and Clomid 150mg. -konpiden nak mintak clomid aku nih.haha

then aku sgt suka sbb doctor yg ada hari tu ialah Dr Sudha lagi skali. aku rase die mmg ade setiap ptg jumaat before 630pm. so lepas ni aku akan dtg ptg jumaat je lah!

Dr Sudha gitau yg die mmg akan bagi Diane35 lagi tapi die takkan bagi Clomid dah. sbb die ckp based on Dr Karamjeet nye report dlm aku nye record tuh, aku nye follicles mase ambik clomid dulu terlalu kecik sgt. so aku may not respond to clomid dgn bagos. so no point of up dose lagi. mmg boleh tapi terlalu kecik sgt mase aku ambik clomid 100mg tu. so die ckp tak berbaloi try utk benda yg kite dah mmg tau kite takleh respon.

pastu aku tanye Then nak kasi apa?

dia ckp Letrozole.

aku cam HaaaA?

LETROZOLE

sumpah takpenah dgr. ni pelik gak ni aku takpenah dgr sedangkan hari2 aku google psl fertility drugs.

die ckp org yg tak respon dgn clomid mmg doctor akan tukar kpd Letrozole and ramai org yg tak respon to clomid, is responding well with letrozole. aku pon cam Ok la what she thinks the best.

then die kate kali ni aku mmg perlukan bantuan injections.

aku tanye injection ape nak bagi?

Gonal-F and HCG to break the egg.

Gonal-F tu aku mmg penah dgr. aku pon baru nak tanye doctor, tapi die dah ckp dah aku mmg kene ambik. memandangkan hormon reproductive aku ni mmg sgt sikit atau tak balance atau aku pon tattau!

benda tu hari hari kene inject sampai 7hari. aku tattau mcm mana nak inject tu sbb ade yg aku google kite leh buat sendri bende tu. ape2 pon bagi aku period sampai 2nd cycle of diane35 ni dulu baru aku leh dtg klinik balik utk tanye psl injection2 ni. harap2 time tu Dr Sudha ade la. aku takmo jumpe doctor2 lain kat situ dah. semua bagi aku information yg sgt susah aku nak paham sampai aku salah paham.

aku ade tanye doctor, falopion tube aku sumbat tak?

die ckp I also donno if your tube is sumbat or not. because to reach that point, u MUST MUST have good ovaries first. if your ovaries are not ovulating regularly then there is no point checking for your tubes. so we are not there yet :)

OoOOOO baru la aku paham. yg penting penting penting skali ialah ovary aku.

kalau ovary semua ok, tak pregnant gak, baru leh investigate tube.

jaoh sunggoh perjalanan aku..

well, im actually enjoying it. walaupon aku kdg2 penat. tapi aku takleh putus asa..

doakan aku eh :)

ABOUT FEMARA

Femara (Letrozole) for Infertility, Ovulation Problems and PCOS Treatment

What is Femara - Letrozole?

• Femara (generic name is letrozole) is an oral drug which can be an effective fertility treatment for women with ovulation problems, or for those with unexplained infertility.


• This medication is in a class of drug called aromatase inhibitors. Femara has mainly been used to treat certain cases of breast cancer.

This page is about the use of Femara for infertility

How are Femara and Letrozole Used as a Fertility Drug?

Femara to Induce Ovulation

• When the enzyme aromatase is inhibited by the letrozole medication, estrogen levels are suppressed in young women. This results in the brain and pituitary gland increasing the output of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone).


• In women that have polycystic ovary syndrome or anovulation (a problem with ovulation) the increase in FSH hormone can result in development of a mature follicle in the ovary and ovulation of an egg. Doctors call this process "induction of ovulation".

Femara to Increase Pregnancy Chances in Ovulating Women

• In women that already ovulate on their own, treatment with Femara can result in development of multiple follicles and multiple eggs releasing.


• Release of multiple eggs can increase the chances for pregnancy as compared to release of a single egg with a natural menstrual cycle.


• Doctors refer to the process of stimulating ovulation of multiple follicles and eggs as superovulation, or controlled ovarian hyperstimulation.

Femara to Treat Infertility After Clomid Attempts Fail

Femara vs. Clomid

Clomid (brand name) or clomiphene citrate (generic name) is an oral medication that is often used for stimulating ovulation in women that do not ovulate on their own. Femara has sometimes been used in these women as an alternative to clomiphene.

Some women will not respond to Clomid at all.

Letrozole can induce ovulation in some of these women.

• Women that do ovulate with Clomid still might never get pregnant with it.


• Some of these women will conceive with letrozole


• There can be unpleasant side effects with Clomid that cause women to stop taking it


• This can be a reason to use Femara instead of Clomid

Femara and Pregnancy - Success Rates Using Femara and Letrozole

• Monthly chances for getting pregnant using letrozole are about the same as they are for using Clomid.


• Much will depend on the age of the female partner and on the status of the fallopian tubes and the male's sperm quality.


• Higher Success for Women Not Ovulating on Their Own


• With the following conditions, we can expect approximately 15% per month for a chance to get pregnant with Femara:


• No other fertility issues are present


• The female partner is under 35 years old


• We achieve ovulation with the letrozole in a woman that was not ovulating


• Lower Success for Unexplained Fertility in Ovulating Women


• When it is being used for unexplained infertility in a woman who ovulates regularly on her own, the expectations for success are significantly lower than that.

Femara and IUI

Whether it is being used in unexplained infertility, or to induce ovulation, adding intrauterine insemination (IUI) and Femara together significantly improves chances for pregnancy.

Femara and Letrozole Dosing

• The most common dose of Femara is 2.5 mg per day on days five through nine of the menstrual cycle.


• Sometimes it is given in higher doses of 5 mg or 7.5 mg per day.

Risks and Side Effects of Femara

Report on Higher Incidence of Birth Defects

• Many physicians will not prescribe letrozole because of concerns from a 2005 report from some Canadian fertility doctors suggesting a possible higher incidence of birth defects in pregnancies from using letrozole.


• This study was from a small group of pregnancies and the study has been severely criticized for having an improper design.


• Femara is known to have a short half-life in the bloodstream and is given early in the menstrual cycle - several days before a fertilized embryo is present. It is believed that the drug has cleared from the system before the egg is fertilized. Therefore, it is puzzling as to what mechanism could be responsible for the drug causing birth defects.


• The manufacturer of letrozole sent a warning to doctors saying there are reported birth defects in children born after mothers took Femara. This may have been due to liability concerns (lawyers and financial risks for a drug company) rather than real science.


• The manufacturer of the drug has apparently not filed for FDA approval to use it for infertility. However, physicians often use medications in an "off label" way. When the off label use is safe and effective it is perfectly legitimate.

Is Femara Prescribed by Fertility Specialists?

• Some fertility specialists or gynecologists will not prescribe Femara


• Others will use it - after explaining to the patient that there has been concerns raised regarding the potential for increased rates of birth defects
