Dental Visit

Went to visit my favourite dentist Dr. Khoo Joo Ean @ Penang Dental. My 6-monthly checkup is already due. I figured out that I might as well have good dental health when I'm pregnant. I should not neglect my teeth!

Dr. Khoo commented that my gums are more sensitive with more bleeding while she did the normal cleaning.

I guess my whole body is changing and preparing for my little angel! :D

1st visit to the gynae / 5 weeks old

We decided to go to Dr. Nicholas Loh from Loh Guan Lye Specialist Centre. A few of my friends recommended him after I told them I want a gynae who is not only competent but also friendly.
Dr. Nicholas turns out alright.

Dr. Nicholas say I am roughly around 5 weeks pregnant. My baby is about 5mm. the size of an orange seed.
He did an ultrasound on me and I saw a tiny black dot growing inside me. That is supposed to be my little angel!
I looked the the screen in awe...admiring the miracle of God. This tiny black dot is going to be our baby! Wow...

I got a BIG FAT POSITIVE confirmation today!

Dr. Sally Ong from Koe Clinic confirmed my pregnancy. I was tested again with the pregnancy test kit and this time, it is not a faint line anymore but a very clear positive sign!

So am i happy? YES, I AM! YES, WE ARE! Somehow I am no more so worried about the lumps in my breasts. Maybe because the ultrasound report shows that they are benign lumps. Or maybe because I've gotten used to the fact that my breasts indeed have lumps. Guess I've learned to accept the fact.

So now I am grinning happily when Dr.Sally Ong said that I am very much pregnant! She even said that my hormone levels are high. Usually the hCG level is only significant a week after their period is due, but mine was already very significantly shown in the pregnancy test kit even though I am only 1 day overdue!

I am now dancing and singing with joy in my heart!

Anyway, I won't be telling anyone yet besides my family 'til the 1st trimester is over when possibility of miscarriage is lower. Sigh....

Well....i'm still dancing with joy! Tralalalalalala...!!!! :D

Ultrasound Report

Went for ultrasound this morning at Loh Guan Lye Specialist Centre. Dr. Sally Ong referred me to Dato' Dr. Ragupathy (radialogist) and he is so good. He is also friendly and smiled and talked to me the whole time while doing the ultrasound on me.

He found some benign lumps in both my breasts. Actually, the computer says they are benign and should be. But we can never be too sure. To be 100% sure, the only way is to surgically remove them and have a biopsy on them.

But then I am glad the results turn out to be OK.

Am I Pregnant?

I woke up this morning feeling like using the home pregnancy test kit to see if I am pregnant. I know my period is not due yet for another 3 days but basically it has already reached the 28-days cycle, right?

Anyway, I read somewhere that it is more accurate to test it first thing in the morning during your first pee as the hCG level is higher then.

So, what did I get? A faint line line of a positive sign. Is it a faint line or is it not?

As I have not missed my period yet, I guess I should have been a little more patient and test it next week to confirm if I am pregnant or not!
Let's wait for a more accurate result next week!

Lump in my left breast

The little lump on my left breast is now getting harder and more significant. I used to have trouble feeling it there (because it is rather deep inside), but now it is so easy to feel it there.

Dr. Sally Ong just told me today to have it removed asap. But I need to be sure that I am not pregnant and I wouldn't know until sometime next week.

What an irony! Just until yesterday, I was hoping that I will be pregnant. And right now I am hoping not to be pregnant! God must be confused on what I want! :(

Aunt Flo visited me right on the dot

Mine is usually a 30-33 days cycle. This month around, it is a 30 days cycle which means Aunt Flo visited me right on the dot - same date as last month!

With a glowing health report, I guess I am ready. Just waiting for Aunt Flo to go... :D
