Dear Babies (OK, mummy wanna call you babies because deep in mummy's heart, mummy want twins....1 boy and 1 girl! but either of you will be fine :o)),
Today is Day 16, at 12 midnight will be 36 hours after mummy's HCG injection. Means, daddy and mummy got to start making you.
Mummy is a bit worried because daddy is not following the plan. Daddy is recovering from all the puking and diarrhea from yesterday. Daddy is weak and tired.
Mummy got to take care of daddy........at the same time mummy feel like wanting to strangle his neck. Why can't he fall sick other days?? Of all days he choose to fall sick during important date!!! ARGGGHH!!!!!!
But if it helps, mummy booked a hotel this Thursday on 20th March 08 because it is a public holiday. Mummy wants daddy not to stress himself and relax....... so thats the plan.
Luv luve,
Mummy

Daddy is Sick
Dear Baby,
I'm anticipating making you. The doctor already gave mummy a jab and probably tomorrow mummy will start ovulating. Both daddy and mummy are very excited to start making you.....
but.............all of a sudden, daddy just go sick today....Like REALLY REALLY sick.
Daddy puked and had diarrhea and puked and puked and diarrhea...and then puke again....
Mummy is so worried for him.....wanted to bring him to the doctors but he refused to go. He didn't have dinner and his last meal was noon. Mummy cooked nice dishes today....marmite prawns!!and miso soup. Thats to celebrate mummy's beautiful follicle. But daddy didn't even getto eat them.
Mummy sent daddy to bed now and daddy is sleeping. Hopefully daddy will be well enough 2morrow so that we can work on making you. Sigh....otherwise, all mummy's taking clomid and jab will just be a waste..... Today's bill at the doctors came to about RM205.
Apart from feeling tired, mummy also experience some cramps at the womb. But now mummy wants daddy to recover and be strong.
Luv,
Mummy

Day 15: Good Egg!!
[Monday: 17th March 2008]
Today is day 15. Since the not so good news we received on Saturday about no dominant follicles, I went back again to do the vaginal scan.
Initially we did not find any dominant follicles....except that the follicles we saw on Saturday was slightly bigger now....
Then we saw it!!!! 1 big and good follicle!!! THANK YOU GOD!!!
It measures around 20mm or so. My heart leaped with joy!!!
So the doctor gave me a jab. We were to induce the ovulation.
In 36 hours, we need to shag. and then do it every other day.
I'm excited!!! Baby come to mommy!!

Day 13:
Saturday was Day 13. Was told to go back and check out the follicles if it is growing.
First time ever, the hubby followed me to the clinic.
This time we didn't have to wait for long and we went in together.
The ultrasound showed that I have many many follicles but not so good news is that, we still cannot locate any big dominant follicle. So........it wasn't very good news to hear.
I can either come back on monday to see again.......otherwise, perhaps we need a jab during the next cycle of clomid. Apparently the 100mg of clomid did not do much for me this round.
There are many possibilities. It could be that my ovulation occurs late. Or.....my follicles are just not of a good quality as it does not grow.
It was quite disheartening. However, my doctors reassured us not to think so much and just carry on and have fun as we are still young...
I feel so sad...sometimes i think....why me? why can't my body function normally...why can't I just conceive like normal people.....i dont have an answer.......i'm afraid of another round of clomid....i might just sink into depression. I pray that I ovulate this month.....help me God.

Day 11: Folic Asid pill
So today is Day11.
I had an appointment with the doctor to check up on my egg's development.
Supposed to follow up on Day 10 but doctor was on leave yesterday.
Went to the clinic.........massive crowd...omg.........my doctor must be very rich...she has so many patients!!!
Waited for about an hour or so......that is even after i called in to book my place in the morning......
So when my turn came, we did the ultrasound thingie....supposedly for checking my follicles(a.k.a the beginning stage of the egg)?? I'm not sure is it called an ultrasound because a stick thingie is inserted into my cervix and we can see on the screen my ovaries.
So we saw quite a number of follicles.....pretty similar to last month. They were small.......we couldn't locate any of a good size, but towards the end we found 1 which the doctor exclaimed that this seems to be a good one size 13.9. Thats the good news.
I need to go back on Saturday to check again. We need to observe until the follicle is of a good size......then we shall procreate!! (a.k.a shag like crazy!! :p)
I asked the doctor what can i do to increase the chances because i already took clomid.
She gave me some folic asid pills. It prepares the inside for pregnancy. She told me normally the first round taking clomid might now show much difference so lets cross our fingers......otherwise we have to keep trying again next month.
Doctor also mentioned about some jabs that she can give me to enhances the enlargement of the follicles. We can have 2 jabs. But it will be a pinch to the wallet cos it costs RM200 per jab (approx USD63). She asked me if i would like to have that jab.....i couldn't decide.
In the end, i decided no jab this round.....if we fail this month, lets do the jab next month.
Otherwise, if i change my mind, we can also have a jab this saturday. Let's see if hubby wants to come along this sat to see my follicles. heheee.....so far i've always go there on my own.

Clomid - Day 1-5
So, since it did not work again naturally........I studied more about how clomid works and its effects on the internet. I know what I will be going through and felt ready to give it a go. So I gave in to clomid.
I started on clomid on Day 2 of my menstruation as advised by my doctor.
I don't know why she told me to start on day 2 because from the research that I have done, most doctors prescribe clomid either on day 3 or day 5.
I did not take note of the dosage that I had. But i presume by taking 2 tablets per day. I would be on the 100mg dosage.
I realized that usually the first time taking clomid, should go with 50mg first.......and slowly increasing the dosages the next cycle if unsuccessful.
Anyway, I was careful taking clomid. I was told to take them at the same time everyday for five days. I had mine 7pm sharp every day.........except the last day, i was glued on the internet and forgot about it till 7.30pm. about half an hour late. Not too bad. :)
Secondly, I read up about some side effects that could arise by taking clomid and some of them are such as:
- headache
- increase mood swings
- blurry vision
- pain in the ovary
- hot flushes
- multiple pregnancy
- tired
Soo.............. did i suffer from the above symptoms??
yup....but a pretty mild one. Not very bad.
I felt slight dizziness on my head. My vision are blurry but i am short-sighted so it does not make much difference......
On Day 1 and day 2 i did not have ANY symptoms at all and i was like.....oh cool......no side effects on me!!! this is great.......
But i began to feel EXTREMELY tired day 3 onwards.....very very lethargic and sleep a lot.
I felt very easily agitated and moody. Very unlike me!! because i don't normally have PMS symptoms even......
[edited: I just remembered that another symptom that i experienced by taking Clomid on my period cycle day 2 onwards, i felt cramp all over my womb through the whole menstruation....i normally only have slight cramps on day 1. But with clomid.........the cramps was throughout.....and slightly more severe. Also, i realize i had bloated stomach and felt very gassy and farted alot too.....]
Today is Day 10 for me (calculate from day 1 of menstruation). Clomid on day2 through day7.
was suppose to see the doctor today but she's on leave!! haiya......wasted my time to go over.
Anyway, will be going tomorrow to see how the eggs are doing.
We're suppose to shag every 2 days from today and hopefully will be successful in conceiving.
The good thing about clomid is.........we have 10% chance of conceiving twins(pray hard for 1 girl and 1 boy!!) 1%(or lesser) chance of having triplets......yikes.....

Low quality eggs
Full of hope, I went to the doctor after 2 days to see how my eggs are doing......
This time around........we still see lots of eggs....but the size of the eggs are all small......there wasn't any egg that is big enough that will work. They call it a dominant egg. Every cycle, we should have 1 egg that will grow into a sizable size that will become the dominant egg that will be able to be fertilized by the sperm.
Soooo........when she can't find the dominant egg.....The doctor just mentioned one word
"no good" and "come back next cycle after you take the clomid".
It was a horrible experience. I think God is the only one in the world that knows how hard it was for me to take those words. I don't think even hubby knows it.
I guess my disappointment showed on my face, the doctor told me not to be dishearten and we will try again next month.
This happened in February.
Though she told me it wasn't any good. We still tried...........
but this time, my period came exactly on the dot. 3rd March 08. I did not even have any chance to get hopeful this time as the period was on the dot.
