CD 8

Dah seminggu tak ujan, baru tadi ujan! alhamdulillah. hari2 balik rumah, penat tak tentu psl. bukannye keje byk pon. Yang penting im definitely OK with metformin now. yay!
tah bile nak abis, doc bagi mcm banyak plakk..dah sebulan lebeh tak abeh2..hai

tadi baca forum2 org2 yg TTC with letrozole+metformin..ramai yg berjaya, ade yg miscarried, tapi buat lagi satu cycle with IUI, pregnant..
ala sbenanye taknak buat IUI or IVF ke hape la..selagi boleh conceive naturally. sampai satu tahap doc kate "u kena buat IUI je baru boleh"
baru la aku akan proceed...
tu pon kalau xjumpe option traditional yg lain..huhuhu....
sebab kalau leh nak anak tu dgn cara 'making love' sebab itu lah hasil daripade making love.
tapi like i said earlier, we could PLAN, tapi Allah yg tetapkan...

so kalau ditetapkan mcm tu, kena redho...ape2 pon aku masih boleh cube utk conceive naturally dulu.
kalau org lain tu dah mcm2 cube masih tak berjaya. aku belom tahap mcm2 lagi tapi dah nak ke arah 'mcm-mcm' gak la.
byk option2 baru yg org lain suggest...homeopati la, dong quai la, wild yam la...baru ni ade aku bace, Circle Bloom..hypnotherapy. eh byk lagi la. acupuncture la..semua belom try.

heh, saba dulu..! satu satu.

CD 6

im on cycle day 6 today, and guess what, aku dah tak ciritbirit bila makan metformin!!! :-O
dah 2 hari aku mcm tu, aku dok la pikir kenape aku tak cirit plak? adekah benda tu dah stabil kat badan aku or sebab aku baru start EPO (3000mg) per day.

hmm aku dah tau EPO (evening primrose oil)  ni supplement yg bagos utk org pompuan especially yg nak  conceive tapi tu la kdg2 tu bile kite asik beli je n nothing happen, kdg2 die akan jadi malas nak beli..

sampai la aku terbace article psl ape kaitan EPO ni dgn PCOS, rupenye die byk membantu selain drp die bagi cervical mucus kite berkualiti n 'sperm friendly', die jugak membantu menstabilkan hormon2 yg kelamkabot tuh. diulangi, memBANTU, so apa2 je yg leh membANTU, baik aku ambik drp x ambik lansong.

tapi takde pon die mention kalau ambik EPO ni, combine dgn metformin die akan lebeh ngam..aku tattau la die akan lebeh ngam ke tak tp yg aku pasti aku dah tak kena ciritbirit :D so aku leh mkn je metformin (dan nasik!) hahaha..

pagi tadi aku ada training, diorg bagi breakfast nasikgoreng cili api PEH! (lupe yg aku on metformin ni) sumbat je sbb lapa, semalam 1 hari aku xmakan sbb takde selera. kitkat je yg aku makan smlm, then bile malam tu aku makan nasik sket kat umah, yglain tu laki aku yg abiskan.

arini alhamdulillah leh makann..takde la perot kosong kan.yay! so i guess EPO did something!

EPO for PCOS (Evening Primrose Oil for Polycystic Ovarian 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.

One option is EPO, evening primrose oil. This particular oil when taken by women can help balance the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the woman’s body. PCOS is known as a hormonal imbalance so any kind of supplement that helps restore balance between female hormones is definitely worth trying. Many women with PCOS have a ratio of estrogen to progesterone that is elevated. 

Some women may be taking Glucophage (Metformin) for their PCOS and there does not appear to be any problem taking Glucophage in addition to evening primrose oil. However, it is prudent to talk with your doctor first to ensure that is the case before you begin mixing any drugs. Remember, too, that you can conceive with PCOS. It just might take some time to restore your body’s hormonal balance!

Ini BBT utk hari ini:

Cycle Day - 2

Hari ni dah Cycle Day 2. So pukul 10am tadi dah start ambik letrozole 2.5mg.

Semalam aku halfday, sebab taklarat n taktahan sakit sgt. dah lame tak kene period pain sbb dah lame tak period. kalau nak diikutkan, last period aku mase sebelom buat hSG tu. awal feb. means dan 3bulan tak period :(

Nasib baik smlm takde benda urgent nak kena buat, so aku takde la rase bersalah tibe2 pegi halfday plak. Bos aku pon kate takpe je kalau xtahan leh la balik.

aku singgah klinik UMRA untuk beli letrozole. haih, payah beno laa nak beli ubat. die mcm nak soh aku jumpe doc gak. tapi lepas aku tunjok note kecik yg dr delaila tulis tu, diorg cam "oh, dr delaila ahmad." diorg soh la aku dok jap.
ade la stengah jam baru aku dpt ubat tu. jakgi nurse tu leh lak tanye aku

"kenape 2.5mg je eh? sebab kite normally bagi 2biji tau..so 5mg, ni mmg doctor u nak bagi sebiji je sehari?"

"ha dah dia prescribe i mcm tu, camtu la"

"oh, takde la sbb normally kite bagi 2biji, takpe lah"

eh dia ni, awak dokter ke?  ade normally normally plak. ikot prescription doctor la. arituh mmg mase kat UMRA dr sudha bagi aku 2bijik. maybe die nak boost stimulation aku untuk produce telor agaknya.

lain doc lain la opinion, bile dr delaila tgk rekod aku yg aku penah ambik 2 bijik letrozole on day 2-day6, die ckp "banyaknya, 1 is enough"

pulak. so maybe lain doc lain cara diorg. maybe dr delaila rase aku ni PCOS so kena start dgn 2.5mg dulu utk tgk response aku mcm mana, takleh teros nak boh 5mg. maybe la.

jadi memandangkan dr delaila ini lebih experience jadi baik aku ikot je advice dia.

letrozole 5biji = RM50. wah sebijik RM10 beb.

----

then aku terbace lak arinih combination of letrozole-metformin, ramai PCOS women yg clomid resistant, percentage nak achieve full-term pregnancy is higher kalau combine letrozole with metformin.

i'll be keeping my fingers crossed this time! ;D

BBT as of April - Today



Start dari 3 april, aku nye temps tgk la weh mcm tu, turun naik turun naik, sah sah la hormon tak stabil lansong.

BBT temp kite kalau tinggi, means progesterone tgh tinggi, kalau temps low, estrogen tgh tinggi. so kalau normal cycle, BBT kite patut low start drp hari 1st period, then hari ke 14/15 temp akan drop lagi sikit, and kalau esoknya dia melonjak naik, itu tandanya kite dah ovulate n progesterone is in charge! and kalau progesterone tu remain tinggiiii je for more than 20days, insyallah kita dah pregnant. kalau tak, BBT kita akan drop balik sebelom period, so it shows yg kite tak pregnant n akan period dlm beberape hari lagi.

simple je sbenanya, kalau try guna benda ni mmg sng nak agak psl badan kite sendri. so takyah la dok asik beli pregnancy test je (walaupon aku nak gak beli) hahaha...

ini yg mcm textbook lah tulis, sebab aku penah je google yg ade org pregnant tapi BBT die low. itu maksodnya dia low progesterone n perlukan injection untuk tambah progesterone so leh protect kandungan dia dari gugor.

mcm chart aku atas ni, yg ada tulis P tu start aku ambik Norethisterone (NE) tu. dia progesterone pills. tgk, lepas aku ambik for 5days, temp aku teros naik. then bile stop, temp aku jatoh n period. FE tu indicate Femara (letrozole).

akan update lagi sampai aku scan eggs hari ke 12 nnt. :D
