Hay badtrip!

Today I was scheduled to have my TVU with follicular monitoring. This isn’t the first time I had my follicular monitoring. My first was last month. My OB told me to have it in FEU Hospital. And since it’s only a 10 minute drive away from home, I agreed.

At first, akala namin konti lang ang patients. When I went up to the receptionist, she told me I’m patient no. 10 na daw and kakaumpisa palang ng procedure kay Patient no. 1. We paid for the procedure and waited for my turn. We were there at around 4:00pm.

At 5:00 p.m., Jason became a little bit cranky (mainipin kasi) already, asking bakit ang tagal daw. So I went inside to talk to some interns. They told me they’re already with Patient no. 5. Lima nalang pala, so hinintay na namin. Nung malapit na mag-6pm, naiinis na si Jason, kasi 2 hours na kami naghihintay at di pa din kami tinatawag. Yung mga katabi namin eh sila pa din katabi namin. Meaning wala pa natatawag ni isa sa amin. Pumasok ulit ako … si Patient no. 7 hindi pa pala tapos, at si Patient no. 6 pa din ang inu-ultrasound. I asked again, pang-ilan pa ako? Sabi nung intern … pang-apat pa daw ako pero may sisingit from ER na ultrasound din. Huwat??? Actually hindi lang isa ang insiningit … dalawa pa. SOP kasi nila na priority yung mga in-patients. So sabi ni Jason i-refund ko na ang pera namin at umalis na.

So I did, and texted my OB na hindi na ako magpapa-ultrasound ever sa FEU. Super tagal ng services nila grabe! Naloloka ako. The first time I went there naman, na-late yung OB Sonologist ng 2 hours. So late na siya nag-procedure … eh pang-number 14 ako nun. Buti nalang some of them already backed-out. Kaya naging pang-lima na ako. But this time, hindi ko na ma-take talaga. Hindi na ako magpapa-ultrasound dun sobra! Stress na nga ako dahil nahihirapan kami magka-anak… lalo pa ako na-stress sa kanila! Sish!

Our Wedding Video

Finally, our wedding DVD has arrived in our doorstep last Friday Morning (Ang bilis talaga ng LBC). I paid our balance to Dan Pamintuan last Thursday thru bank.

I told myself that if I would feel the same emotions to what I’ve felt during our wedding day while watching this DVD, I’ll give Dan a high supplier rating. Well, 95% of my emotions that day naramdaman ko while watching it. And when mom and dad watched it, naiyak ulit sila wahahaha! Dan, you’re the man! Hahaha!

At first I didn’t like the cover. Was expecting that he’ll use a photo of me and Jason as bride and groom. He used the prenup shot from his cam … pero ok naman sa akin. Importante yung laman. Madali palitan yung cover hehehe!

And kainis din nung medyo sa speech ng Dad ni Jason, there was this irritating static sound from a cellphone. I asked Dan bakit ganun. He said, yung isa daw sa guest namin na katabi nila nung kinukunan kami, yun daw yung gumagamit ng cellphone. SOP nila na pag nasa shoot naka-off yung cellphone.

There were things that were never caught on still photos, but were captured by this moving video. We made a misalette for the priest and I’ve found out that we forgot to take off the price tag of the folder his using. Kakahiya, nakita sa video hahaha. And no matter how I’ve tried, hindi naitago yung baby fats around my neck (shocks kakahiya!). And when we’re doing the first dance as a couple, we’ve found out that our pace was a little bit faster than the song itself. Hahaha! Mukha pala kaming clown nun hahaha! Super bungisngis pala ako nung wedding day namin. There’s no moment na nakasimangot ako… parang high ako na di maintindihan. Tawa ng tawa. And my voice is different when I’m talking on the mic. Hay o hay bat ganun? Hahaha! And si Jsson lagi naka-smile … dun ko lang siya nakita na lagi naka-ngiti. Kaya wag ka na magtaka Labs kung wala kang mata lagi sa pictures hehehe!

Again, I’ve watched how my Dad delivered his speech and made me cry again for the second time. And also my father-in-law’s speech to us was again another tear-jerking one. I cried again not because of the speech but on how my husband cried with it. It’s so touching … I don’t like men crying because it makes me cry as well. Besides that, our dear friend Allan, who was our emcee that time left a very good message for us and our guest. Let me share to you an excerpt of his speech.

“I’ve know Jason since highschool and Sheryl for quite sometime now. And this two are the happiest people … one of the happiest people I’ve known. So I’m sure that this relationship will go on forever because they are meant for each other. A lot of times sabi ng mga magulang natin, yung mga nauna sa atin, yung mga mas matanda sa atin ang sinasabi that one of the secret to a happy marriage is to laugh it out … have a good sense of humor. And both of you have that… you are so lucky to have so much love around you…”

So the verdict … I give Dan Pamintuan a 9 (rating of 1-10). Bakit 9, kasi sabi niya in 5 months time makukuha ko na yung finished product. Dapat June ko makukuha yun, umabot pa ng August. Actually di pa kumpleto, to follow pa yung raw footages … on the way na ata… hay o hay! Tagal joke! Now, I can say I’m another happy Dan Pamintuan bride It’s worth the wait.

PCOS

According to Medifocus Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) also known as Stein-Leventhal syndrome or functional ovarian hyperandrogenism, is a complex endocrine disorder associated with a long-term lack of ovulation (anovulation) and an excess of androgens (male hormones, e.g., testosterone).

The disorder is characterized by the formation of eight or more follicular cysts of 10 mm or smaller in the ovaries, a process related to the ovary’s failure to release an egg (ovum). PCOS is one of the most frequent causes of infertility.

I had it eversince, my first OB didn’t see this all along. And I’m glad I made the right decision on changing my OB. This is the reason why we’re having a hard time to get pregnant. Right now I’m on medication. I’m taking Metformin 500 mg 3 times a day. Know side effects of this medicine is dizziness, nauseous, drowsiness and headache. My OB said that I could take Metformin even hindi pa ako kumakain. Pero sa akin, it doesn’t work. Super nag-throw up talaga ako sa super sakit ng ulo ko. And iba nag chemical reaction pag magkasama silang iniinom ng Clomid (Chlophemine Citrate). Nagkaroon din ako ng vertigo kaya natatakot ako lumakad mag-isa pag may pupuntahan. Gusto ko may kasama. Saka I do sweat a lot… isa daw sa symptoms yun na I’m having low blood sugar. Sabi ni Kuya Jade and OB, just take a glass of Coke to normalize my blood sugar. It really works sometimes.

And since I’m on treatment, hubby is taking Korgivit-E 3 times a day to normalize the motility of his sperm cells. Kumbaga pinapahanda na sa kanya para healthy ang mga punla niya.

And OB also told me to try again to lose some weight … easier said than done … I’m really having a hard time losing weight. And eto pa, because of Metformin, super dalas ako mag-weewee na super nadedehydrate ang skin ko. My derma told me to moisturize and take lots of fluids. Pag nafi-feel ko na daw na natutuyo na lalamunan ko, drink a glass of water agad. I have atopic dermatitis (excessive dryness of the skin) and I’m allergic to my own sweat … so how can I go on a working out in a gym when after that my body is all red and itchy because of my sweat? waaaaaaahhhh! Ang hirap no?

Buti nalang I’m a SAHW … if ever I’m working… siguro dumadami na ang leave ko dahil hindi na ako makapagtrabaho because of my treatment. As you can see, gagawin ko ang lahat magkaanak lang kami. Sana nga tulungan kami ng Diyos na malagpasan namin ang pagsubok na ito.

The Lazy Bug strikes again!

Sorry guys for not updating much … been so lazy this past few days. Maybe because of my recent medication. I was diagnosed with PCOS 3 weeks ago. This week my OB changed my dosage of Metformin from twice a day to thrice a day. I feel too nauseous and super nahihilo talaga. Hay o hay ang hirap ng pinagdadaanan ko. Pero kahit ano gagaiwn ko magkaanak lang kami promise!I’ll try to blog as mush as possible. Please bear with me mwah!
