Started On Blackmores Conceive Well

I started on my first dosage of Blackmores Conceive Well on 23 November 2010. This is to prepare my body to absorb the right nutrients in preparation of conceiving. One box will last me for a month. I heard that it's recommended to take at least 2 boxes to better prepare the womb.



-------------------------

It's one week into Blackmores pills. Sometimes I feel like I've gastric pain, at times I feel rather bloated. I'm still continuing with the pills.

Hubby is also taking Centrum (if I feed him) and taking manuka honey with UMF+10 now.

Have not really settled in

I realised that I haven't really settle into my new home. My stuff are only 50% here (the other half still at my mom's place) and I don't have much space to store my things already. Hubby's cracking his head and at the same time reminding me not to buy any more clothes and skincare. This weekend, we are going to IKEA to look at some furnitures and fittings. We will also be trying out rock climbing for the first time.

There are lots of interesting and fun things coming our way. I should enjoy more of our couple time and being together now instead of getting tensed up over conceiving and lovemaking. I should learn to relax and take things easy.

Yesterday I had a long talk with Hubby. He said that he is also getting used to my presence (actually he means tolerating me) and the new lifestyle. There are many things to learn, to give and take.

New life awaits.

The Secret Life of The Unborn Child

Dear bought this book for me. He said that I have to read it and realise that what I experience emotionally affects the baby. It's really too early to buy the book as I'm not even pregnant yet.

But well, okay, I will read.

Vitamins

I have been eating CENTRUM (vitamin for general health) for the past few months and also let  Dear eat Pcynogenol (anti-oxidant) from Nature Farm too. Vitamins really do not come cheap but I think it's good to build on good health so that our children will benefit and inherit the good genes.

about SG$50+

Another important reason why I chose CENTRUM is because it has a high folic acid content of 400mcg. Quoting from babycenter.com, ...the recommended daily intake of folic acid  for all women of childbearing age is at least 400 micrograms (mcg), or 0.4 milligrams (mg). Taking folic acid for at least one month before conception reduces the risk of neural-tube defects, such as spina bifida, by up to 70 percent.

Wynn Wright SG$140+ fr Nature Farm

I am eating this honey for complexion. This is one of their best sellers. Only Nature Farm carries (not GNC). Platinum Silk is a unique, one-of-its-kind formula that combines the goodness of Royal Jelly, Avocado seed extracts, Silk amino acids and Pearl powder in a base of pure, fresh and organic wild honey from the pollution-free Australian outbacks.

SG$46 from Watsons

I have bought Blackmores Conceive Well from Watsons after hearing raves about it in the forum discussion. The expiry date is Dec 2011. So I decided to buy and keep. I heard that this is often out of stock.

I will be visiting Chen Mei Er sinseh tomorrow to regulate my menses and to strengthen my womb. Will be kiasu and gonna tell her that I am preparing to get pregnant.Why am I so kiasu? Well, I've heard from forums that if you tell her that you are not married yet, she will take her time / choose to lengthen the treatment time. And if you tell her that you are married and have been trying for a baby for quite some time, she will refer you to do a scan at (i think she get referral fees) Gleneagles Hospital.

I have also stopped all cold drinks since two months ago esp during that time of the month. Even if I yearn to have something cooling, I will take little sips and I never ever drink more than 3 sips.

烏雞白鳳丸

When I came back from Shen Zhen, I bought 5 boxes of 烏雞白鳳丸 to regulate my menses. My menses is still about 45 days. Each box costs $6 whereas in Singapore it is $25.

Wuji Baifeng Wan (simplified Chinese: 乌鸡白凤丸; traditional Chinese: 烏雞白鳳丸) is a blackish-brown pill used in Traditional Chinese medicine to "replenish qi and blood , regulate menstruation and arrest excessive leukorrhea.
