Alternatives

I received a message from an old friend in regards to this blog. Weee. There's ppl who actually reads this blog! Hye semua.. Assalammualaikum mummies, mummies-to-be or.. ehem. daddies. Ade ke? Sorry if blog ni tak best sgt. Actually Sheena set up this blog so that one day my future baby leh lah tau what ahkak ni went thru to dapat kan die.. :D 

If Sheena ade salah kate or terkasar bahase, sorry ye. If you like it here, you are indeed welcome to stay and walk (or read) with me thru this amazing journey.

Psal msg tu.. this is what it reads..

"hi girl,
read ur 'baby hopes' articles,and my hopes almost 3 years ago crossed my mind....
just nak share dgn u,because the feelings of wanting a baby?UNDERSTOOD.

this is what happend to me,kniq used to hv this kind of menstrual pain which wouldn't go away even after i got married (some old folks said it will go away once u get married im sure uve heard that too),and doc pun prnh ckp dgn kniq that im gonna hv some difficulties trying to conceive bcause of this menstrual problem ; lots of pain,period tak tetap,kedudukan peranakan tk betul etc etc...tp ms tu kniq br sec 2 so bnde2 tu tk pntg sgt lg...

but after 6 mths i got married,blm ade sign of pregnancy,im starting to worried a bit,bkn apa,kniq kawen lewat,so no such thing as 'family planning not to cnceive yet',and my husband,families (u know that sort) started to ask and yes,its stressful!tp kniq jenis tk amik pot sgt lucky i hv few ppl who always comfort me whem i started to worry more than i should,haha...
anyway,back to topic,kniq try doc's advise,i took pil perancang for 3 moths,waited,and nothing.
then...

hubby's twin is an alternative doc,he asked me to take this algae pill from CVT (color vibration therapy)..took it on n off sbb kniq selalu lupa...
last skali dia advise :

1)sesekali,bila haus teguk air paip,just teguk je sebrapa yg mau without hesitation,tp jgn la jdkan minuman ruji plak,sesekali...

2)makan terung.kalau berselera sgt dgn terung tu bole mkn mentah2,tp if kita ni normal,mestila masak bnde tu kan,hahah...tkde rutin tetap,tp makan je bila terasa perlu,myb lbh kerap lah if ur trying for a baby kan...

3)kalau both kat ats tu tk mnjadi jugak,last skali mandi air hujan dgn hubby,tp dgn syarat,hujan tu mesti b4 3pm...if da 3pm onwards tkde dah magic dia (magic ni pun dgn izin tuhan of course)

so...
kniq try both 1 & 2,mmg tk penah pun sbb buat apa la nk minum air paip bila kita fikir kita ade source air yg lbh baik kan...and..kniq mmg tak suka terung!ntah,the slimy and stickiness tu buat kniq geli,but..yeah u'd go to any great length for a zuriat kan...so kniq telan jugak la,dlm 2 3 kali dinner,ahahhaha...

and the 3rd one tu,mcm romantic jer kan,mndi hujan sama2 dgn hubby,looking forward to do that bcause of the romanticness sound of it,but...Alhamdulillah,tak sempat nak buat,kniq dpt berita gembira....pregnant 6 weeks bila kniq tk period lgsg wthin 3 mths of trying tu....yg penting skali,lepas dah usaha,kita tak berhenti meminta dariNYA,dan tawakkal tu ala Allah...amin.

if sheena rasa nak cuba,by all means,its a pleasure that i could share it with u here...

kniq doakan sheena...
hope to hear the good news very very soon!
insyaAllah,Gods will.AMIN.

GOOD LUCK sheena darling!

Good luck,and take good care of urself."

Thanks Kak Niq for your Doa, well wish and tips. Hmm.. Macam best jer tip #3 tu. *winks* Esok start tunggu hujan. Hujan je, siaplah encik kiki kene heret turun bawah. Heheeehe.. Leh nehi nehi skali. Cam romantic kan?

Halia Muda + Lempoyang + Madu

Okay. Back to our traditional medication course. Nak crite sikit about his madication; the lethal pedas mixture. Phew~

Lempoyang + Halia Muda Medley

Ni nak di-blend sesame

Madu Asli

Ni campur last skali... so xlah pedas sgt

Lepas blend, kene masak dulu. Then bile dah boil baru leh tapis

Inilah hasil lepas tapis. Nyum? heheheeee

Voila! Bon Apetite!

Haaa... Tu diaaa... Mau? Ade beran? My course ends this morning. But he has still 6 more days to go. Pasni nanti i update lg k. See the keberkesanan. :D

Actually banyak gak khasiat lempoyang. Lempoyang ni sejenis halia. Ade orang tak panggil die lempoyang, tp Halia Hutan. Die bau and rupa same je mcm halia. So jangan confuse kay biler nak pi beli kat pasar. I recommend Pasar Chow Kit. Coz kat sini, u can find practically anything traditional. Senang, and i don't think they'll trick you into buying something that isn't.

Back to the khasiat of lempoyang, sebenarnyer tak sure ape khasiat die. Cuma what i know is that orang dulu-dulu swear by this. I think untuk keluarkan angin kot. 

Dah try gak google it, tp cam tak byk info. In English, diorang panggil Lempoyang ni "Shampoo Ginger", scientifically,  its known as "Zingiber Zerumbet" (mcm name African kate my hasben. heeheheee..)

The best thing about TTC

Although memang ngaku #TryingToConceive ni sometimes is extremely stressful, tp i've learnt a way of thinking positive. Ngeh ngeeh ngeeh.. Nak tau ape? LOTSASEX! And be sure to make it lotsa fun!

Serious.. it distresses you. Okay. Not trying to sound like one from the First Wives Club, but it is OWH SO GOOD! Okay okay. Back to topic.

#TryingToConceive also actually makes you realise how badly u want something and is willing to go great lengths to achieve it. Ingat i suka makan minum bende pelik2 and busuk2 tu?? Tapi ni gak yang buat kite sedar betapa hebat nyer kebesaran Allah.. Dia ade plan untuk kite. Dia maha mengetahui and He knows if we are ready or not. Although otak ni berkeras kate dah ready. Maybe pocket kite lom ready, maybe Allah tau one of us is not mentally ready. Banyak sebab nyer and biler Dia rase dah time, Kun Fayakun. Maka jadilah.

So for now, nak stress sangat pun tak guna kan.. Tingkatkan usaha kerana usaha tangga kejayaan! Yessa! Positive thinking tak akak..? Ngehngehngeh...

Esok last morning with the pagaga-bawang putih juice. Voila! Nak kate ade rase ape-ape perbezaan, takde pun. Tp yang nampak is, i dah 2 hari sembelit. Pelik kan? Takpe, esok settle kang call Mak. She what she has to say..

Owh nak tau ape tu pegaga or name scientific nyer, Centella Asiatica? Or nak tau ape khasiat die? Click here and here.

ni dier...

Dah bace kan? Nape duduk je lagik? Gi lah cepat wat juice pegaga tu. Now you know that ni is not only for those #TryingToConceive. Semua org elok minum pun. :D 

Happy trying!

Cantella Asiatica anyone?

Whoa! Last post was in July!! Okay.. don't keep your hopes up yet. No baby. Still a double :) We are now going traditional yo!

Since everyone asked me to wait for at least a year before heading off to the doctors, we decided that we won't be sitting around simply waiting. So we opted for traditional.

Yes, u heard right. Here come's the disgusting jamu and smelly potions. The start was a little shaky. Had to complete a course of jamu capsules. Can't really remember what its called. i cheated though and skipped a few days. heehe. Mane tak nyer. Dahlah kene makan 3 kali sehari, tiga bijik setiap kali plak tu! seksa... Memula je semangat, pastu start skip timing.. then skip hari. Then terus terlupa.

Then onto Course 2. Maajun. Sticky stinky balls of herbs and spices to down in 12 days. he has to go through this too. I'm not alone! Baru tau betapa busuk dan pahit dan seksa nyer nak makan jamu! Tapi kali ni tak cheating hokay... Siap Mak Esah (aunty hubby yang mmg tukang urut dan ubat traditional) kate "Mak nak tgk laki bini makan ni. Habis 12 hari datang jumpa mak. Jangan lupa tau." First few days mmg susah giler. Bile masukkn dalam mulut, terus Maajun tu cam melekat. Dah lah rase spice die kuat giler! Taknak turun plak tu! Tp after hari ketiga, dah pro.... 

So settle lah 12 hari, kitorg pun call lah Mak. Mak pesan, pas habis ni, call Mak, die bg list bende2 yang nak kene beli. Her list:

1. Daun pegaga

2. Halia muda

3. Lempoyang

4. Madu asli

"Nak senang, beli semua ni kat pasar Chow Kit. Kalau takut salah beli ke, tak tau nk beli, amik Mak, kite pg same2"

So kitorg pun balik je keje (nasib baik haritu mmg dedua leh cabuit on the dot!) amik lah Mak and bawak die gi pasar Chow Kit. Seyes... First time masuk, horror gak. Mak stop kat satu kedai tu.

"Bg lempoyang 1 kilo." Terbeliak gak bijik mate. 1 kilo?? Banyak nyer! Siap kene pilih sendiri lah.. 

Pastu gi kat satu lagik kedai "Nak, bg Mak daun pegaga ni 10 ikat. ah. tambahlah satu lg ikat. boleh?"

Gulp. 11 ikat?? Banyaknyer... Pastu kami sambung lagik carik halia muda pulak. Seyes if mak tak ikut, mmg lah tak tau nk pilih.

Sampai umah Mak, we kene cuci plak daun pegaga tu. Akar takleh buang coz semua nutrition kat akar. Cuci punye cuci, sedar2 dh 3 jam. Hahaaha. Imagine lah tangan kitorg cammane kecut.

Then comes the instructions...

"Daun ni kamu blend. Blend skali ngan bawang putih. Lepas blend semua, simpan dalam peti ais. Setiap pagi sebelum sarapan, minum satu mug. Blend ngan air ni (air yasin). Abang Ki, kamu punyer rumit sikit. Ni mak dah bahagi2kan. Satu bahagian untuk 3 hari, lepas 3hari leh buang and blend bahagian yang baru."

"Jgn lupa. Sebelum minum, selawat, baca al-fatihah, pastu jatuhkan niat.." 

u boleh?

Okay.. Mine although bau die cam rumput and ade sikit2 bau bawang putih, tak seteruk hubby punyer. Kesian die. Imagine lah, halia and lempoyang blend! Pas blend kene masak, then tapis to get the juice. Even the two spoons of madu asli cannot rid the foul taste. And kene minum  2 kali sehari pulak tu. heheee.. Busukkkkkkkkkkkk tak hengat!

So now, we are at Day 2. I think i still have two mornings for the dreadful green juice and him, another full week X 2! Pasni kene jumpa Mak lagik tu report.

Hopefully dengan izin Allah, our usaha will be fruitful.
