The Holy Month Is Approaching

Assalam peeps. How's your mental preparation towards the arrival of Ramadhan? Alhamdulillah, aku dah berjaya ganti puasa. 

Biasalah, menjelang Ramadhan, para isteri mesti fikir, Apa menu sahur?, Nak buat kuih apa utk buka puasa?.

Yang nak saya buat kuih apa?

Kuih popiah pun best. Pastu bulan puasa nak beli kuih Ninja Turtle?

Hm? Ninja turtle?

Ala, yg color hijau n ada yg berlauk tu.

Ohhhh, tu kuih cara berlauk!

Tahun ni berazam nak banyak terawih, improve ibadah. Semoga Ramadhan kali ni membawa seribu rahmat kpd kita semua n dikurniakan rezeki khususnya utk TTCian.

Oh, yg sedang giat TTC, teruskan usaha, make sure supplement cukup. Walaupun puasa, usaha TTC tetap usaha!

Happy Ramadhan Kareem to everyone!

Sibuk whatsapping sementara wifi signal kuat. Sini takde coverage.

1. Resort dgn pemandangan sangat cantik
2. Staff semua friendly
3. Makanan sedap
4. Privacy (sesuai untuk honeymooners)
5. Aktiviti best
6. Resort ni most of the time bila nak berurusan dgn management or staff, kena guna English
7. Sangat ramai mat saleh (konfius jap, kitorang ni kat mane?)
8. Coverage takde. So no 3G.
9. Harga agak pricey. 

Sorry, sequence gambar bersepah. Malas nak edit2. Janji dapat share dgn korang. So, for more info, please click here.

Kegilaan Apakah Ini

Gila! Aku cakap dalam hati. Haritu kat head office ada meeting pembentangan bajet 2014 untuk research. Kaw-kaw permohonan aku kena reject macam tu. Katanya, expenditure tu terlalu banyak, so apply kepada board projects. Grrr. Aku geram. Sebab penat menunggu meeting yg panjang, tambahan pulak application ditolak. Macam mana nak buat research kalau takde duit? Last-last aku tinggalkan bilik meeting bila group aku dah settle present bajet. Maleh den nk menunggu lamo2. Hati dahla paneh. Baik balik Johor jumpa laki aku.

Gila! Aku ni masih dok kat takuk lama. Yelah, ada certain kerja yg aku suka procrastinate. Especially report writing and scientific paper synthesis. Hoi Nina, silalah sedar yg dah 4 tahun paper masih belum publish. Habuk pun tadak! Kalau buat management aku laju je. Ntah la kegilaan apa ni. Aku macam penat jadi saintis. Korang pernah tak alami bangun pagi2, bila nak ke office tu kata, "Harini aku nak buat ape eh?". Ha, macam tu la yg aku rasa kadang2 setiap pagi. Gila kan?

Gila! Aku ni suka tidur. Asal balik lunch break, harus landing di katil, nap dalam setengah jam. Asal balik office kul 5, masuk rumah tukar baju, bam-bam jap. Lepas maghrib, bam-bam lagi depan tv. Lepas dinner pun, bam-bam lagi. Haishhh. Patutlah kau tembam Nina! 

Gilaaaaa! Sedar tak sedar ni dah sem 4 aku kat graduate school. Gila tak sebab aku belum mula Bab 1? Bilalah tangan ni nak gigih mengetuk keyboard. Malam2 stay up buat thesis? Takdenya, kat rumah schedule aku lain. Jadi, bilanya ko nak siapkan thesis Nina oi???

Gila cekal! Aku baru tau yg Tunku Azizah Fertility Foundation (TAFF) tu dibina sebab beliau sendiri pernah mengalami 16 kegagalan utk conceive plus 6 miscarriages. Sekarang, dia berjaya membesarkan 6 orang healthy and happy children. What a bliss! 

Gila! Jerebu akibat perbuatan bodoh beberapa syarikat di Sumatera buat kami semua sesak nafas, batuk2, selesema, sakit tekak. Semalam Johor dilimpahi hujan rahmat. Alhamdulillah. Dapatlah kurangkan jerebu. Esok2, bila dah subside, aku dan husband nak start cycling balik. Weehoo!

Clomid Aturkan Semula Haid: Fakta atau Auta

Dengan sukacitanya, pada Sabtu lepas AF telah datang jenguk aku untuk Cycle 3. Clomid masih on, tapi increased dosage. CD12 ni kena datang jumpa Dr Maurad lagi untuk buat TVS. Alhamdulillah, syukur AFdatang selepas 37 hari. Husband pun happy sebab period dah makin 'behave'.

Persoalannya, adakah Clomid yg aku dok telan sebelum2 ni dah tolong betulkan period aku yg dulunya haywire? Korang tak rasa macam tu ke? Syukur jugak, sekarang aku dah berjaya tangani stress. Yes, stress inhibits hypothalamus function. 

Aku harap semoga Ramadhan tahun ni membawa keberkatan dan dikurniakan rezeki anak. Amin..

Rasa Malas Nak Fikir Dah..

2 minggu lepas, kesihatan aku teruk. Demam yg panjang dan berbalik2 pulak. Hujung Mei dah start batuk teruk. Kena bila lepas balik Tioman hari tu. Batuk yg sakit dada dan pening kepala. Chesty cough. Hari Khamis tu aku MC sbb tak larat. Husband dah tolong bawak balik ubat dari hospital sehari sebelum tu. Tapi tak jalan. Keadaan lg teruk bila pegi Kota Bharu pd 1 Jun haritu. Travel naik bas from Kluang to KL, badan rasa dedar2 je. batuk toksah ceritala... Tahap teruk punya. Tunggu pulak kat LCCT. Damn, ramai umat manusia. Sesak nafas aku. Dah macam bus stand dah. 

Bukan nak kutuk ke apa, haritu 1st time aku ke LCCT. Teruknya la amenities dia. Toilet kotor. Aku cakap kat husband,"This is what we get when we pay less.". Nak tempat kondusif, kita naik MAS next time. Maghrib touch down kat Kota Bharu. Badan dah start panas. Malam tu terus demam. Panas badan. Bila bersalam dan peluk makcik2, semua suruh rehat. Esoknya, terus gi klinik. Sampai balik Kluang pun, still belum recover. Last2 MC lagi 2 hari. Terus gi KPJ. Alhamdulillah, batuk makin baik, selesema je belum reduce. 

Dah 2 minggu jugaklah, usaha TTC terabai. BBT mmg dah tak amik lagi sebab demam. Suhu memang tinggi. Tak boleh nak indicate apa2. 2 minggu jugaklah, dah jadi malas nak telan asid folik, pati delima dan VCO. Sebab banyak sangat ubat kena telan sebab demam.

Sampai ke hari ni, aku rasa malas betul nak check BBT. Maybe my gynae was right. "U tak payah fikir pasal BBt ni, buat u lagi pening." So, sekarang aku dah stop amik BBT. To my surprise, time badan tak sihat minggu lepas, boleh pulak ada mucus EWCM. Sangat lama aku tunggu. Terus bagitau husband, "Saya rasa saya ovulate.".

Sekarang, dah malas nak baca2 artikel pasal TTC, sebab tak nak rasa stress. Ikut je flow. Today mesti start balik makan supplement. The rest, biar Allah yg decide. 

Dear Husband

Dear Husband,
I am sorry I am not a beauty queen,
But I am just beautiful me.
I may not be a good chef,
But I try to cosset you with delicate tidbits.
I am sorry I am not an interior designer,
But our laugh is enough to brighten up our home.
I may not be a good doctor,
But trust me, my touch has cure you.

Dear Husband,
I am sorry I am not a good best friend,
But I try to soothe you when you are down.
I may not be a good wife,
But my love for you will never fade.
Live without you is hard.
I want you to stay by my side,
Facing our ups and downs,
Now, forever, always, until Jannah.

Dear Husband,
I thank Allah for sending you to me,
I love you, Sweetheart.
Happy 1st Wedding Anniversary!

Sincerely,
Your Wife♥

Of Failure

Yes, I failed to conceive on Clomid cycle 1. AF was coming last Thursday. But the symptoms that I felt last 2 weeks was a false alarm. Indeed, I was shocked to experience the unusual feeling, like pregnant moms do. I felt nausea (tekak pahit), cramp, nipple sore, huge appetite (but I puked after finish eating). Adalah dalam 3 kali sepanjang 2 minggu tu muntah lepas makan. Dikala itulah, Ribena menjadi teman baik untuk rasa loya. But this time, upon AF arrival, the cramp was unbearable. Plus I got headache. I see my doctors quite often and they gave me medical leave. 

To my surprise, my AF visited me on cd40 without Provera. Alhamdulillah. I really hope my period will regulate after this. So, me and husband decided to stop seeing gov Dr. Because we can't wait too long. Finally, we continue our treatment at a private specialist centre here in Kluang. Little did I know, 3 of my colleagues went to see Dr Luckmal and they manage to conceive afterwards.  

Currently, I am on Clomid Cycle 2. This was prescribed by my new gynae. We have to keep trying no matter what as our marriage will turn 12 months this coming 25 May. Yay! Our anniversary is just around the corner. Meaning to say, honeymoon mode is activated.

I am very excited and looking forward to this getaway. We have planned for Tioman vacation. Will update you guys right after we came home. Atie, Nina tak sabar nak pegi Tunamaya!!! Best sangat tengok picture2 u kat blog masa tu. 

Sleeping with Broad Smiles

Last night I had an absurd dream. I was in Masterchef celebrity show together with Norish Karman. I remember her the most because of her hair. You'll know if you watch the show. We were assigned to cook 'Asam Pedas' in our own way. 

This is obviously nonsense when I had a sudden urge to go to the washroom and do urine pregnancy test. I did 3 times in a row with 3 big fat positive sign. Weeehoooo. I could remember, I rush to show the UPT strips to husband. And he was smiling happily.

Oh mannnn, it is only a sweet dream. Tu lah sebab asyik fikir je, sampai termimpi2. Today is my dpo14. I did UPT this morning. It was negative. But 2 days ago, I came across this in Fertility Friend apps. And these 2 days, creamy cervical mucus has started to appear. 

Can someone brief me on this? I have no idea what is happening to me currently.
