I'm back to ramble after few days of break.
23rd September 2011 - I spend a night at my house in KL instead of PJ and arrange for my regular taxi driver to pick me and my sister Rozi at 7.15am. My regular taxi driver ( Fauzi) is very punctual and of course for him time is of the essence. We reach Metro Hospital at around 8 am. I went to see the nurse and she bring me to my room , ask me to change into hospital attire and told me to just rest on bed. Hmm...just wake up from sleep and now I have to rest...I mean nothing much that I have done today except to wake up early , pray, bathe and get into the taxi. Anyway...a rest is needed before the procedure. She told me that it will start around 9.30 am.
My sister Rozi just make her comfortable on a settee while surfing the web and chat on her facebook.
Today's procedure is not as complicated as OPU and I do not have to be anesthetic at all. It is something like IUI procedure. The only thing is I have to keep my bladder full, therefore the nurse gave me 2 glasses of water and told me not to pass urine..( hurghh..not sure if i can do this or not). A while after drinking..i felt like i want to pass motion...and this I cant hold..no choice..I went to the toilet and do my morning business. I told my sister to get some more water to top up the one that I had passed...
around 10am, the nurse came and said that the team is ready to do the transfer. She asked me to sit on the wheelchair and push me into the OT. At the entrance, she stop and told to look at the monitor in front of me. I saw 4 rounds circle there. Ms Lee, the embryologist told me that they manage to pick up 5 eggs from me and out of that one doesn't develop properly. The four embryos that I have, 2 with 8 cells and 2 with 7 cells. The doctor decided that they should transfer all four into me. However he inform me that the chances for quadruplet is very very small....so do not get over excited! ( this is me telling myself..)
The procedure lasted for about 15 minutes. I can actually see the embryo being transferred through the scan monitor. Once finish..they transfer me back into the ward room and I have to lie down, being still for at least 2 hours.
There is no pain at all....the procedure is done. They gave me the same tablet for insertion into vagina and for swallow. At 2pm , my fren fetch me and send me back to my house. Doctor told me to rest most of the time. Have to be relax, cannot scold people ( not that I like to scold people)... When we reach the house, i straight away do what the doctor told me to do...rest...muaahhaahaa...lying down in front of TV.
When will the result come out...hmm..this is really agonising, coz I have to wait for 2 weeks in order to know whether my result is positive or not. I pray to Allah swt that this time he grant me my wish....
" Ya Allah ya Tuhanku. Sesungguhnya engkau yang maha mengetahui dan maha mendengar. Aku berdoa agar engkau dapat memakbulkan keinginanku dan suamiku untuk menambah ahli keluarga kami ini.Amin".
okay...this is my real doa and not a quote from any quran or book...

talk about babies - 3
On my first appointment with Dr Tee, he gave me Suprefact and Puregon which I have to inject into my stomach every day and night.
The second appoinmnet which was done on the 15th September, he gave me additional medicine that is Menonys to be injected at night after puregon. ( for 3 nights). On the very same day, Dr Tee scanned and show me that I have 4 eggs on the left and 3 eggs on the right and they are growing at expected rate.
The menonys come in 2 tiny bottle, one is in powder form and one is liquid. I have forgotten to take picture of Menonys however pleae google to know more about it. The step is for me to break both bottle, collect 50iu of the liquid and mix it with the powder - the suck it into the syringe and inject into my tummy. Of course i make it sound very simple but then again, it is that simple.
3 days after additional injection of Memonys ( on the 18th Sept), I will have to go for final injection of hormon which has to be done at Metro Hospital in Klang at 11 pm.
Seriously...making babies are not easy...
On the 18th...haahhh..what a day! wake up in the morning and get ready to watch the movie "Johnny English" which we have booked earlier at The Tropicana City Mall. The plan for today is to watch movie, send my nieces to Kuala Pilah and to Bangi and then for me to go to Metro Klang hospital.
The movie starts at 12 afternoon and finish at 2.30. We proceed for Thai style lunch at Vichuda TomYam at Damansara Utama. After finish lunch, Aiman suddenly said that he feels like vommiting. Amira bring him to toilet and after that I decided that he and Danial should not follow us to Kuala Pilah. So I dropped both of them at my in law house. by the time we make our move to Kuala Pilah, it was already 4.30 pm.
I took the Elite highway and exit into plus via Nilai...and boy oo boy....the moment we enter plus highway..it was bumper to bumper almost all the way to Senawang ( which is the exit to Kuala Pilah). By the time we reach Kuala Pilah, the time is 7 pm. After Maghrib prayer, we continue journey to Bangi via Lekas. Luckily no jam at all and we reach Bangi at 9.30 pm.. I was praying that there will be no jam before sungai besi toll...and as if answering my prayer..the journey way smooth all the way until I reached Metro Hospital at 10.30 pm for the injection.
20th September - 2 days after the final injection, I have to be at the Metro Hospital as early as 8.30 in the morning. Today's procedure is called OPU or Oocyte Pick Up. They gave me general anaesthetic so i was not awake for the whole procedure. When i woke up, it was almost 1 pm. I felt a bit of pain around my stomach. at 1.30 my fren, Mary come to fecth me. I reach the house and slept the whole time until 6.30 in the evening.
I can still feel the pain when i woke up. My stomach felt so tight ...as if I just had a delivery. Called the Doctor and he said it is normal but it tha pain become more severe , he asked me to see him.
I still feel the pain until today but it is bearable... tomorrow is the big day for me coz tomorrow they will be putting the embryo back into me...woohoo...excited....

talk about babies 2
Okay... Im going to continue about my process of getting babies...where do I stop before..oh ya...about giving myself injection.
Today is already the 4th day of injection day. Which mean I have injected myself 4 times day and night. The morning dose is for hormon. The med is called Suprefact.
Suprefact is actually hormon injection. Please read here for more info. So apparently Suprefact will inform the brain to send messages to our ovary to produce more eggs. hmmm...
At night , it will be another injection. This also has to be done at the same time everynight and I have chosen to do it at 9pm.
Please read here if you want to know more about Puregon but basically this drug is to help our egg becoming mature as required.
It is actually quite easy to do the injection once you have overcome the fear of putting needle into your stomach. The first time i tried, i actually manage to poke it in but take a little bit of time in pushing the drug in. I felt like i have preseed hard enough for the drug to be injected but in fact, it is not even moving...ha..ha..
well.at least now I have manage and as I said to Doc ealier..piece of cake!
my next appointment will be on the 15th September and on that day the doctor will chec and let me know if the eggs are ready for harvesting or still has to contnue with the injection.
I pray to the great Allah SWT for this process to go on smoothly and I will get pregnant. Amin.

Talk about babies
I came from a big family...there are altogether 9 of us. One of my brother passed away few years ago due to car accident (may he rest in peace) therefore now left 8. My first sister has 7 children, first brother only 1 boy, second brother (passed away) has 4 boys, second sister 3 girls and 1 boy, third sister has 2 boys and a girl and third brother has 1 boy, fourth brother just got married and fifth sister is still single. Naturally being around big, I would like to have many children as well. Of course.....Who doesnt love children. I want at least 6 children - 3 boys and 3 girls. My husband pulak come from a very small family. He is the only child in his family and the rest like uncle and aunties also has one or 2 the most. He told me that he has always dream of having big family. children running around in the house.Hmm....that would be perfect. However as we always said - we can only plan, Allah the Al-mighty is the one who decide. Since I got married quite at late age and my husband being far away most of the time, we only manage to get 2 boys.
Itupun aku dah bersyukur coz it is really not easy to raise them.... ( of course after having two I suddenly realise that it is enough for me)
My husband on the other hand would like to have more. He said we try at least one more baby. Boy or girl, it doesnt matter... We've tried but nothing happen... for the past 2 years..we tried doing it the normal way and the scientific way...lol.... last year we try to do the IUI way ( Intra Uterine Insemination). it doesnt work as well....
So this year..... or rather during ramadan month, with nothing much to do in the office. I decide to browse the internet searching for the cost of IVF. I came accross few places namely Tropicana Medical Centre - fertility, HUKM -fertility and Metro IVF .
At TMC, the cost of doing IVF varied between 16k to 18k for every cycle. At HUKM, there are 2 separate section i.e. private section or govt section - the same doctor will attend the procedure though. For private section, it will cost you around 15k and for govt section slightly cheaper but you have to wait for the queue.
The last place that i call is Metro IVF and it offers the cheapest rate (They were having merdeka promotion actually).
From the actual cost of RM12500, they knock off RM2k. There you go, i save 2k .... i asked them the procedure and the very next day, i went to Metro IVF and see the doctor. He was so nice and really taking his time explaining the procedure..of which I nod and nod and nod...and by now i have forgotten about everything.
The only thing that I remeber for sure is that we will have the chance to get 3 babies at once.... ..this is awesome....OMG...I really wish that we can get 3 straight away. Ater that I can tutup kedai...ha..ha..ha...
Anyway...today which is the second day of my period, the cycle for IVF has started. This morning I went to see the doctor and he told me that I have to do injection twice a day. Once in the morning and once at night. The injection i have to do it myself.....
hearing what the Doc said, my eyes become so big....terjojol nak kelaur biji mata...
I have to do it myself ke Doc?....he said " many ppl has done it, you should be able to do so". Well.......well....welll.......apa aku nak ckp. Lagipun orang yang ambik dadah tu pun boleh inject sendiri...takkanlah aku tak boleh...haisshhhh....
So i told the doc " well Doc, if others can do, i know for sure that this is piece of cake"...( ckp besar)...
he..he...
okay...aku nak tidur...sambung tulis esok lak... night nite...

Eid Mubarak
Tahun ni raya not so meriah... my Father in Law is not in good health and because of that we decided to celebrate hari raya in KL. Well.. it is really hard to celebrate without the whole family. we are all missing each other...
My sons keep saying nak balik kampung coz nak main mercun with all his cousins... ( that is the only thing that they have in their mind). My husband pulak can only be with us for 1 week. Anyway..we try to make the best of it. First day raya, we went to Auntie Aisyah house ( my mil neigbour and Aiman's personal tutor). Ramainya orang kat rumah Auntie Aisyah...all races are there ... well it is not really a suprise considering that her husband is a president of RA at that Taman. This time you really can see the unity amons us all.
Anyway...after Auntie Aisyah's house we bring mum and dad to our house. I cook beef curry to eat with soft bread and also chicken rendang to eat with lemang. I planned to cook roti jala on the first day raya but then x larat coz cooking rendang took so much of my time.
yang paling happy on that day was Aiman and Danial coz dapat byk duit raya. Aiman siap dah plan nak beli aquarium. Dia memang dah lama dok berangan nak bela ikan dan kurax2. After kira semua duit ...ada lah dlm 300++... jadi dapatlah dia beli aquarium... nantilah gambar tu akan di uploadkan in the next chapter..kalau rajin...
Selamat hari raya untuk myself and my whole family... sebenarnya ada byk yg nak di tulis ni, tapi dah sebabkan sekarang ni dah tghmlm.. so mood ngantuk tu dah kuat sgt... nighty nite...
