Breasts tenderness continues

I'm quite reluctant to update on my fertility check for the past 10 days fearing that all goods things might 'suddenly' whisked away from me by reporting unfounded. But i can't ignore these symptoms. I'm do not wanting to regret for not completing my journal because of some silly taboos. Ok, i am writing it down.

Honestly, my breast tenderness has been with me since 17th August (as mentioned in earlier posting). It was quite sore between August 19 - 22 but subsided a little, that was when i thought its a bringer of bad sign, also that's was that the reason i posted the dismay note in this blog. However, breast tenderness resumed on August 24, if i recalled correctly. For the next few days, both my breasts were only tensed up noticeably in the late afternoon (between 4.30pm to 8.30pm) then subsided a little only to regain tenderness at slightly before midnight. 

I have to admit, i am silently thrilled over this pain. Breast tenderness has never lasted this many days since i started trying. Could i have read the sign correctly? I have been keeping an intense watch-over my twins and they remain quite full and rounded. I am very pleased with their new look now. The areolas has taken a darker brown shades since the first day of tenderness. Feel very sensual to touch too. Mmm, love it

The Sinseh has mentioned that Dino's sperms have improved their tail growth, getting longer to where it should be, so that it can swim better and faster. Hohohohoho, i mean no disrespect, but to diagnose that with just feeling the pulse is too out-of-this-world. Secreatly, we have fervently hope that she is right. My womb too is much warmer now.

Anyhow, i must further contain my emotion so that i would have another crash if it failed again. Touch wood!

I am in the green!!!!

whoah ha ha ha.... its 1.65! 

Yes, I am this terrific. I'm normal finally! I'm normal at last! I've breached into the bracket of 0.40 - 4.7, the bracket that doctors called them 'normal'. Whoa ha ha. Yeah!  My TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Reading. The normal bracket is between 0.40 - 4.70.

Pretty normal. Green light by Dr Cheah for us to try for a baby.

Crashed into hypothyroid. Thanks to the RM700 hormone test. Quite a bad one. Caused me lots of bloating and constipation. Sort of turned my metabolism into sub-zero and made me grew like a pig fed on organic corn. Dr Cheah put me on 100mg. Wasted quite a few TrueBlue kits. And people started commenting on how 'proper' i looked.

Oops...over treated. Swung to high hyperthyroid. Arrrggggg....... Immediately reduced to 50mg. But returned to 75mg within 1 week due to obvious symptoms such as intolerant to cold, constipation (even resorted to brewing cleansing tea and throwing pieces of lemon into plain water) and gaining 4 kg in one week.

Ok, a little blue sky visible in the resport. But bloatings still sent me to get Dr Cheah's help to ease my mind by confirming that there was no whatsoever growing tumour lurking inside my intestines. Cuts down to 50mg.

9 June 2008 - 5.00

Oh nooooooo.......... dropped back to the worst level. Terrific. What's wrong with me? Want to give up this baby-thingy. Back on 75mg.

7 July 2008 - 0.14

I couldn't believe my eyes on this report. Yoh-yoing like crazy. I was in cloud nine for a while and Dr Chead too agreed to allow me to start on Clomiphene 100mg. A close friend recommended a Chinese sinseh and kena scolding from her on first visit for allowing Dr Cheah to let me consume Clomiphene and thyroxine at the same because these medicines could lead to developing female cancer in the later years. Immediately started on TCM treatment with some very bitter powdered herb. Very expensive = RM150 per 2 weeks supply.

30 July 2008 - 0.27

Oh, no. Not another increase again. 

25 Aug 2008 - 1.65

Whoa ha ha ha ..... surprised myself. Dino dad jumped for joy too. The first positive reading in 8 months. At the same time, Anwar Ibrahim won the Permatang Pauh election with majority 15,671 and he returns to Parliament. Double joy!

Aug 22 - There is sign of failing

oh noooooooo....i think my breast tenderness is beginning subside. Arrrrgggggg.................

... that's it. no mood to pen more.

Dino dad's first bird's nest retail client

Dino dad is also experiencing quite a few "firsts" this month.

Got his first retail order with a chiropratic clinic at SS15.

Got his first order of the 9-piece raw nests that priced at RM500 per box.

Got his first customer's enquiry to market bird's nests to China.

Got his first friend's lead to market bird's nests to Taiwan.

Got his first friend's lead to market bird's nests to US.

Got his first enquiry to sell scrap metal to a local dealer.

Got his first face-to-face negotiation with an Indian customer wanting to buy scrap metal and be shipped to Chennai, India.

Got his first opportunity in face-to-face negotiation with the owners of an exotic breeding farms of Cobia, Kerapu Tikus and golden pomprets.

Got his first experience in winning a new advertising client at just the second appointment.

And i surely hope to give him his first child too. Amitaba Buddha

The French astrologer has predicted that the biggest wind-of-change for Dino dad to start on August 16 and 3 aspects of his life will see a tremendous elevation; career, financial and family. Pray it to come true. He deserves this long overdue.

Another new symptoms - early breasts tenderness and mucous spotting!!

And i really mean it - early by 6 days!!

Believe me, never happened before, well, at least in the past 13 months as whence i started to diligently taking note on all body changes in preparation for pregnancy. I have charted various new symptoms in the recent 3-4 months but early breasts tenderness and mucous spotting are the first. 

Previous charts recorded my breasts tenderness usually started around 22nd or 23rd day of the month. Sometimes its was as late as  on the 25th or 26th day. Mucous usually spotted slightly earlier by 4-5 days prior to ovulation. Surprisingly, i have had stretchy egg white liked mucous on August 15 and my breasts started to tense around 10.30pm, last evening of August 17, right after reaching home from funeral service at gui yuan. Note the attentiveness of how i have even quoted the time and place. Yeah, sounded quite absurd, but pardon me, its the 14th attempt.

Cross visual examinations in front of my floor height mirror revealed rounder and fully twins. Even a slight bent over created cleavage at the spot where usually even the worst pilots can land the plane closed eyes. Hmm, kinda like my twins now. I am probably kidding myself, seeing only what my minds wanted me to see now. But hey, some pregnancy websites even claimed facts of such that the breasts of a normal healthy child-bearing woman would automatically prepared itself for breast feeding even at the earliest signal it received after a successful conception. Well, to be exact, we had dutifully accomplished our mission at 4.30pm on August 17. 

Could it be that the chinese medicines has primed my production engine to V6 status? Could it really be that fast? I have had only 4 weeks of TCM in my body. Or, could it really be that i am entering the autumn season when metal element is at its strongest and abundance - i am a xin metal, remember? Could Joey Yap's prediction that precise? Whoa whoa whoa....no, no, no, i've got to stop this wishful thinking right now. It could possibly be pure case of hormone taking a cope inside my body, or my thyroid is system jammed!! Better take a TSJ test tomorrow.

Failed the 13th time!

Its official. Menses started on August 5. Very sad but this time not that much sad. As a matter of fact, i was quite looking forward to seeing red. Probably due to that lingering warning left by that sinseh, how baby can be affected negatively by the consumption of 2 hormone treatment at same time. Well, even though Western doctors have had no qualm in prescribing me Thyroxine 75mg and Clomid 100mg at same time, i think its better to be save than sorry. Fine, let's start over again in August. Anyway, its not yet Autumn season. Still got 1 more month to go.
