blinking heartbeat

25 June 08

early appt at gynae's.
had the usual Vscan....

gynae shouted at my HB "hei,come look at ur bb!"

so happy, we were able to see the tiny blinking.. amazing!
gynae say bb is of goodsize.
however, i still need more bedrest cos the are some blood surrounding the sac.. so strictly no hsework!
and i too have this "pregnancy erosion" where the cervix is "raw" and tend to bleed easily.

so gynae gave another month's MC to rest at home...STRICTLY NO HSEWORK/SHOPPING!

and of cos, i be an obedient gal and just watch TV, eat & sleep for the next one mth!
and yes, i have already gained 1kg... (thats reasonable & understandable)
and i am sure i will gain another kg soon... (but will try VERY hard to control my intake).

more rest @home

got out of bed at 11.20am this morning.

fried an egg with 2 slices of wholegrain bread..

yummy...

its almost 1.10pm now..yet i do not have any appetite..

hmmm.."morning sickness"?planning to cook some pasta later..

luckily i hv the SCV and loads of magazine to browse..

and last sat we had lunch at vivocity and i managed to buy a pair of comfy flats from ECCO..

very comfy and not cheap.. cost S$154+ after 10% off.. but its comfy enuf to worth that $$..

waiting for my next appt at gynae's on 25 june..

more MC to rest ...

13 June 08

Damn... got some bleeding after i swept the floor..
called the nurse and got "scoldings"
(nurse: u are not suppose to do any hsehold chores.. should hv plenty of rest...)
fixed an early appt next day to see gynae...

14 June 08
gynae did the usual check again (with the speculum - yucks)
asked to be put on 5days drip (anitbiotics)..
starting from today..

15 June 08
to MT A to take the drip since clinic is not open on Sun.
gynae was there to give me the drip personally...
phew..slight nausea after it ..

16 June 08
at clinic..
usual V scan and speculum examination ..
found some irritation and bleeding at neck of cervix..
gynae said no need for me to be concerned
bleeding should stop in 2-3 days time
drip again today
developed some allergy reactions..
and more MC ...8days

17 June 08
drip @clinic
speculum check -- no more bleeding inside
Vscan, sac is growing

18 June 08
drip @ clinic
DH bought the "sex & the city music CD" and "yoga for Pregnancy" for me
YEAH!!
damn.. got itch late in the evening..
and more discharge
soaked in salt water ..slight improvement

19 June 08
drip @ clinic
gynae examined again.. advised that itch was due to fungi overgrowth
given proluton jab again and a pap smear done..

good thing. sac has grown bigger
gynae said .."bb's features will come up very soon"
(thats a positive remark)
at clinic for the drip again

gynae advised to go to NUH for a fetal viabillity scan..
she wanted a 2nd opinion
(searched on the internet tat fetal viability scan is done fr 6th to 10wks - can confirm the presence and number of live fetuses and the location within the uterus using the trans-vaginal or abdominal approach. This is an extremely useful test for patients who have had previous miscarriages or who are experiencing pain and/or bleeding.)

asked if gynae can give me a longer MC (till end of first trimester).. she said ok if my boz is ok..

boz called to inform me not to worry abt work.. she is ok if i need to be away for longer period.
(thank U, Gohonzon ! Boz is understanding!)

Last drip @clinic..
next appt on 25 June 08, will be in my 6th week
hope to be able to see strong heartbeat!!

chanted hard for the past few days to hv a healthy BB !!
**BB--be strong & keep growing**

first appt @thersa's clinic

10 june 08

my first appt at theresa's...
my gynae.. the usual careful lady..

did a Vscan for me and could not see a thing..
i believe its way too early.. only 4th week..

however, she is so careful.. gave a 2 big jabs = Rocephine (antibiotic)& Proluton ( to stabilise bb)

and also 8 days MC to rest at home..

great.. its better to be safe and hv good rest in the first trimester ... (given my miscarriage history = in 07 around this time too)

gynae also prescribed folic acid. vit B12 and Revicon (vit C i think)

bought some mags home to read....

MY BFP!

7 June 08 @13 DPO..

tested with the first morning urine!
Got a BIG FAT POSITIVE on clearblue!!
also two lines on the internet cheapie preg strip & the ovulation strip!

Yes, its official! I AM PREGNANT!

DH congratulated me!!
He said it should be the effect of RETAIL THERAPY!
cos he bought me my first AP -Royal Oak on 23 May.. (2 days before the conception)
I believe that has some impact too!!


We had the BFP on a break (from clomid)

hee..guess this success is due to :
my lunchtime exercise for the past 2 mths
my yoga lessons that helped me to relaxxxx
the preseed lubricant
and the fact that we were less stress since I was taking not taking any fertility pills..

Had two cycles of clomid before these..but no strike..

good news ?

6 june 08.. took the pregnancy test with the internet cheapie.with first morning urine...

Ye.. i see a faint 2nd red line..
but its so faint..could it be REAL this time??!!

showed it to DH.. he couldnt seea thing..

took the strip too office,, and dear coliq confirmed theres a faint line!

Happy!! .. some hopes!!
gona test with the expensive clearblue tmr morning!!
