I am feeling twitching on the right side!

Its time again to reach ovulation stage. In fact, its the 14th ovulation observation. The twitches are felt quite strong tonight. The twitching is happening exactly the area i believe is where my right ovary is located. I looked up the human anatomy at wikipedia. 

I am hoping its for real this time. Based on the ovulation table, i am supposed to be ovulating between July 22 to July 24, and Dino dad and i have been working hard since July 18. We have been feeding ourselves with loads of vitamin C, fresh oranges, kiwis and all kinds of fresh fruits plus seafoods.

This is the winning picture of the day 18 July 2008 in The Star VIEWS section. Photographed by A. Ram Kumar Rao. It says "The feline visitor seems to have found this hospital bed just the right place for firty winks."

Loved this picture because this feline is a direct resemblance of our King of the house - Mr Dharmaboy, below, relax in the crook of heaven.

A poem on Anwar Ibrahim

This funny poem about the Anwar Ibrahim's sodomy case has been circling the internet lately. I think its a piece of great work. Read on:

Joey Yap advised Chinese medicine to be my cure

After determining that i am a Xin (yin) metal Day person, he quickly discovered that water, being the element representing my 'offspring' is clashed with fire that presents at my month pillar. Water-fire clash represent child-bearing difficulty. But Joey assured me that he saw my potential to have at least 2 children in this life time. Of course, after paying RM1,800 for an half-hour consultation, we pressed further by being honest with him that i had aborted one child 10 years ago. By choice, at 1.5 months old. He went quiet for 2 seconds than resume saying "well, at least there is one left for you, haha." My heart sank. Mind racing no where. I asked "Are you sure about that?" Joey replied firmly "Of course you might get a third one if you try header but the mother-child affinity would not be strong because its by force". 

Joey continues. Metal (me) produces water (my offspring) that feeds the wood, hence i should switch to traditional chinese medicine treatment of which is a wood element. He assure me over and over again the chinese herbs would enhance my conception rate. And, (this is the best part) i have high possibility to conceive within the coming autumn months this year....whoahohohoho!! That's right. It was recorded in the CD too. He even advised me to totally drop my work to care of my newborn next year. Next year!!! He said that. It was on the CD too. (Rewinding the 4th time)

Ok, chinese medicine it is. 

Bazi for clue of fertility

We went to consult Joey Yap on my bazi on 11 July 2008, at his office 3:30pm. We figured it would be better to spend RM1,800 on his consultation than heading straight into IUI (Intra-Uterine Insemination) or IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). An IUI treatment would cost between RM2.000 to RM3,000. An IVF session costs between RM16,000 to RM22,000. None of the fertility centres in Kuala Lumpur would guarantee successful implantation. Even the one that claims to have the highest birth rates suggested that at least two sessions of IVF would only bring problem-mom-wannabe like me to bring home a baby. 2 x RM16,000 = RM32,000 to birth a baby? The hardcore Africans and Indonesians even want to sell us their babies!! A girl friend of mine had attempted jumping 30 times each day for about 2 weeks and consumed self-ordered abortion herbs from sinseh to rid of her pregnancy. Not only did the baby survived, it grown into a handsome and healthy 12 years old boy today. Another girl friend has had her first baby at the age of 38. Sighhh.......

Failed the 12th time

6:30am. Period finally came. Despite a visibly longer breast tenderness period. Despite feeling good throughout the month. No mood to write. 

I am on 1st cycle of Clomiphene 100mg

Ok, i have had a first cycle of clomiphene at 100mg on July 9, Day 2 of my June mensus. Dr Christina Cheah advised 100mg because i have had 50mg for 3 cycles from June to Aug 2007, and not only didn't i conceive, i even crushed into the hypothyroidsm. In August 2007, my period, for the first time in 10 years, late for 7 days and we were so way over heals to think that we made it. The rest is history. Let's hope this 100mg works for i don't wish to go a few more cycles as clomiphene was mentioned in some research papers that i can cause breast cancer. Please don't make me exchange cancer for a baby.
