Endometriosis

Surfing through the web, and reseraching on infertility or fertility problems, i found something really stunning. A medical problem which symptoms befits me to the point that i think i might have it.

Endometrosis. What is? This condition, in which endometrial tissue (the uterine lining that sheds with each monthly period) grows outside the uterus, is a major cause of infertility in women.

Okay.. So now read the symptoms and count my check marks.

Common symptoms include:

• chronic pelvic pain - CHECKED

• very painful periods - CHECKED

• deep pain during sexual intercourse

• difficulty becoming pregnant - CHECKED

• pain during ovulation

• heavy or abnormal menstrual flow, such as premenstrual spotting/staining - CHECKED

• painful bowel movements, diarrhoea, constipation or other intestinal upsets during menstruation - CHECKED

• painful or frequent urination during menstruation - CHECKED

• exhaustion. - CHECKED

Is it too soon to be heading to the clinic?? Or should i wait??

Ovulation Test Kit

We have all read about right timing and ovulation. But what is ovulation? Ovulation is when one or more of our eggs are released from the ovary, pushed down the fallopian tube and is ready to be fertilised. 

Scientifically and logically, THIS is the time you should be getting jiggy with it. Coz trying to conceive when u have not ovulated, is near to impossible. There are many ways to calculate when you will be ovulating. Tools such as the Ovulation Calender is one of the best and can be easily be found on the web.

There is also the Ovulation Test Kit. It looks just like a pregnancy test kit, but only works for a different purpose. It measures if you are ovulating. Cool huh? It can be found over the counter at most major pharmacies and cost from a range of RM39.90 - RM48.90.

I purchased a pack yesterday at to just give it a shot. No harm in trying right? The thrill of reading the result can feel just the same as waiting for the pregnancy test kit result! Hahaahaha...

Result: NEGATIVE

Owh sigh.. I miscalculated again. This though, is my Ovulation Calculator result:

Based on your answers, you are likely to be most fertile from Tuesday, 26 Jul, 2011 to Sunday, 31 Jul, 2011. If you were to get pregnant during that time, your due date would be Friday, 20 Apr, 2012.

So no jiggying? I guess not the, have to save 'em sperms for Tuesday! Hope we're both in the right mood for it then.

Rezeki

Today sembang ngan mama. Told her how sedih i am coz i belum conceive lagi.. Mama kate "Kak, itu urusan Allah. Mungkin Dia ade sebab kenape tak bagi kakak ade anak lagi. InsyAllah kak, mane tau when biz kakak pun dah stable sikit, time tu Dia rase kakak dah 'bersedia', die akan bagi kakak"

Thanks ma.. Akak just sedih.. Maybe its the hormones, tapi this week mmg rase down sangat.

Its here... again..

Its here again. The monthly unwanted invasion of my body. Its exactly a month from the previous one, no faster, no later. I felt the soreness already the past few days and yesterday, as always, i get really sensitive and tired. 

Try again? Its getting to me, this trying thing. Its no fun anymore..
