Feeling pregnant 3

 I tested the pregnancy test strips:

1. On the 9DPO (2nd urine in the morning, 10 am), it was a negative.
2. On the 11DPO (2nd urine in the morning, 10 am), it was also a negative. I'm going to bring home the test strip and try again tomorrow, first thing in the morning.
3. On the12DPO (1st urine in the morning, 8 am), it was a negative. Starting to feel slightly disappointed but I will not give up.
4. On the 14DPO (1st urine in the morning, 8 am), it was a faint positive. I'm not sure whether I dip the strip long enough before removing it to see the result. My temperature is also at peak today 37 degrees. Normally (since i suspect i am pregnant) was between the range of 36.82 and 36.96.

And yesterday after japanese buffet lunch, I had early dinner (mutton soup with rice) at 6.30 pm, but about 9.30 pm I started to feel slightly hungry again.

My hiccups have not ceased, I sometimes also get the queasy / nauseous feeling along with the hiccups. My backaches are also getting more and more. I get sleepy and tired easily as well. I occasionally have the "churning" sound in my tummy.

5. On the 15DPO (1st urine in the morning, 8 am), it was a better positive but not clear enough. I'm going to the doctor later. But today, I felt my heartbeat was faster.

6. On the 18DPO (1st urine in the morning, 8 am), it was a real positive. Took Duphaston (An Tai Yao).


Last night, I had a nightmare that my period is here. Red blood somemore. Who says we can't see colour in dreams. The red was so red. So I was quite scared to test this morning. It's a faint positive. I was quite confused whether it's a real positive, so I tested another time. Well, it's still a faint one.

I just came back from seeing Doctor Victoria. She said a faint positive is still a positive. She said "congrats, you are pregnant." She has given me MC so that I can go polyclinic to get a referral letter to go to KKH. I immediately sms my parents, my sis and hubby (in that order).

I just calculated my EDD for fun online. Seems like baby will be a Virgo like me :)

I just came back from AMK polyclinic. I reached there at 1 pm but it was their lunch hour. They started to take registration from 1.30 pm onwards. My queue number is 2799. I left the place at 4 pm. It was a 3 hour wait (registration, consultation and payment). I saw Doctor Mark. He asked me when is my last menstrual cycle and (duno how he calculate) said that I am 7 weeks pregnant. [which I find it weird, I thought I am only about 2 weeks].

Anyway, the nurse at the polyclinic will contact me once they book an appt with KKH. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to choose the gynae under the subsidized scheme. I'm considering Doctor Khoo Chong Kiat (KKH) after reading reviews online. But the date they gave me was 21 Jan 2011. That's abit too long to wait isn't it?

Suddenly have the urge to buy milk. I rarely take cold drinks (whether gassy or non gassy) but I had the urge to drink it. Milk is good because it's good for the bones. I also have been having endless hiccups for more than 3 days throughout the day. Today, I didn't have spotting and I'm feeling dry underneath. Observing myself day after day and waiting for Dec 30 for my first testing.

Last night, I had one drop of spotting in brown after a day of dryness. I thought it's unusual and I kinda worry. This morning while brushing my teeth, the holy spirit prompted me to visit the doctor and tell her my concern. Seriously, seeing a doctor is the last thing that crosses my mind. All along, my intention is to do a pregnancy test first before seeing doctor.

Doctor Victoria agreed that I may be pregnant. And I may assume to be so until I experience massive bleeding, which would then mean either I've a miscarriage or that i dun have a baby when my menses are here. Meanwhile, she gave me two days MC to rest and folic acid. I have to lie down alot, avoid exercise, squatting and carrying heavy things.

Well, I may not be pregnant afterall but she said let's not take the risk, in case I am. I feel so glad that at least someone understands, someone doesn't think that I'm crazy or thinking too much that I may be pregnant. Coz I really feel so. I guess I know my body better than anyone else. And nothing like these sensation and signals and symptoms were ever felt and observed.

Doctor Victoria also asked me to stop my minocycline (my acne pills from Doctor Goh at Paragon) and just take good care of myself.

Right now, I just try not to sneeze so hard because it tenses up my tummy each time I sneeze.

--------------
Into my 7th day (on and off) of spotting now, it's usually less than half a teaspoon [entire day], sometimes, one teaspoon. From light brown, it has become dark brown spotting. I still have the same sensation; cramping, hiccups, slightly queasy, backaches. This waiting is killing me.

-------------
Into my 12th day (on and off) of spotting now, my temperature maintains at a consistent high. 36.9 something. I realised the darkening in between my legs (near the thigh area).

These two days are supposedly my fertile period (according to iphone period tracker). But we didn't BD last night. I guess Hubby was too tired from work and not in the mood. I was also tired from a swimming session with my friend.

According to my own mucus charting table, my most fertile day were on 12 and 13th. And we did ML. There are some spotting these few days and I read from my notes. It says it may be light bleeding from implantation.

Though yesterday and today, I have been hearing rumbling sounds from my stomach and feeling the bloatedness. I also experienced a little watery sensation in my mouth in the morning, feeling slight nauseous. Last night after eating a plate of chicken rice, I still felt hungry (though before leaving office, I ate some cookies and a pineapple tart).

I may be thinking too much or pinning too high hopes that we might strike this time. In fact, I do feel pregnant. FEEL is the word here.
-------------------------------------------

Last night at my brother-in-law's birthday chalet and I have the sensation that my period is coming and I thought I have been having the wrong "feeling" of being pregnant. I feel ache between my legs, I feel tired easily and I have also been having unusual hiccups and burping. (higher frequency)

Meanwhile, i've also googled on 'implantation bleeding'. All that was said just goes to assure me that I may be pregnant. I even tried to "hint" hubby but he kept asking me not to think about it and get stressed up. To a certain extent, it feels like he was splashing cold water on what I wanted to express. I know that I may be wrong. I may not be pregnant. But I may be. He made me a little upset just now. And so, he will not be the first to know if I am pregnant.

Anyway, even my hubby reacts this way, how would I dare to tell other people like my sis or my mom. In the end, I just told God about my experience and wrote down here what I have been through.

It will be an antagonising 2.5 weeks wait (or so they say). I pray that I have already conceived.

For now, I'm not certain. I guess I will check in January if my period doesn't come. In the meantime, I will take care of myself. You may be laughing but I have been sayanging my tummy and been talking to the little bean already. Hope the little bean will grow and grow.

---------------------------------
Today, I called Chen Mei Er to check if I can continue eating the chinese medication because I suspect that I may be pregnant. She said to stop the medication until I know the results. I'm still eating my Blackmores Conceive Well and then will start on GNC's Prenatal.
