Getting rid those extra kilos - Choosing the right Gym

I did some survey of where will i would start my battle of getting rid of my extra kilos..
After i made a survey over the net, i did a short list of all the gyms or fitness center which meet my basic requirements:
1. Offer a good fee.. i mean.. cheap one of course
2. Near to my house so that it would be easier for me to go 3 times a week.
3. Have treadmills, elliptical and bycle

So here are my shortlisted fitness center:

Gearing up for the next milestone

It has been more than a month after my first IVF journey ended.
Now, i'm totally back on my feet... life goes on as normal.....
both of us as usual busy with our busy life with tonnes of office works during our weekdays..
It has been quite sometime i has not updated anything in my blog.
I do sometime did a peek on my blog....read my journey....recapped what i've been through.. and seriously.. it was all felt like a dream.. :)
I also did  the routine of checking the statistics of visitors, reading and replying some of the comments from my dear visitors. It was my personal satisfaction and it really does makes me happy to see my blog stats keep on increasing each and everyday..
knowing that i actually have the virtual supports from all around the world ;)
After a very busy works at the office for the past few weeks, finally today, i have the time to update a bit of my journey.


Eversince the end of my first IVF journey, i did some preparation for our next move..the Frozen Embryo Transfer (It seems that i did lots of preparation in my IVF treatment):

Giuliana & Bill ~ The celebrity couple struggling with infertility

I love to watch the Giuliana & Bill ~ reality tv show, every Wednesday nite via E! channel.
Giuliana is the E! News host and her hubby, Bill Rancic, I guess... who has watched the first season of The Apprentice (Donald Trump's reality tv show) would have remember him. He's the first apprentice hired by Trump via the show. Giuliana and Bill have been happily married for 3 years now.

This lovely couple has been struggled to conceive for the past few years.
They did IUI once but the attempt was fail. Recently, they take a bigger step to do the IVF.
Their IVF result was positive.. but sadly after 8 weeks, the baby didn't grow well.. and the doctor said that they had a miscarriage.. sigh.. really feel sorry for them.
According the their doctor, the miscarriage was due to chromosomal issue (which was
the same thing as what our doctor told us when our ivf failed..)
What i like about this reality show is it that despite their sadness for loosing their baby,
their love for each other become stronger and they keep on doing lots of happy things together to keep their life cherished.
Watching this reality show reminds me a lot of what we have gone through in our journey.. the struggle..
the joy as well as the frustration.
For them.. they might not have any problem with money to fund their fertility treatment but they might need to endure such great pressure from their fans.. reporters.. paparazi.. who keep on chasing them.. asking them about their TTC..
But for us.. or lots of people.. money would be the biggest hinderer in seeking for the fertility treatment as well as some pressure from family..friends and people around us..
Whatever it is....hope that this couple would eventually blessed with beautiful baby ;)

Appointment ~ Looking for the answer

30 October 2010
A week after our end-of-first ivf journey, we had our appointment with Dr Prashant.
Our mission for today was to look for the answer for our failed ivf and moving forward plan for our Frozen Embryo Transfer. 
Unlike our previous appointment, this time we were not the first patient. By the time we reached the clinic at around 10.30 am, the sofas were almost fully occupied. We're lucky because there were 2 more vacant seats left for the two of us. While waiting for our turn, i just sat there, did a quick browsing of the Elle magazine. There was this one time, i overheard the telephone conversion between the nurse with a patient.
At the end of conversion, the nurse sounded so excited and congratulate the patient for the positive urine pregnancy test. I guess the patient might have done the IUI or FET.. Errmm.. suddenly i felt a bit jealous for her positive result....sigh..anyway.. i hope that the lady will make it until 9 months and get a beautiful healthy baby ;|

My Aunt Flow came at last

22 October 2010
It has been 4 days since the day i did my beta blood test and stop all the medications.
The side effects from the medication has gone by now..and surprisingly.. all my premenstrual symptoms has gone too..
until today.. my Aunt Flow has not come yet.. and there seems no signs of it coming...
Ermmm ... it just make me wonder.. 
when will my period come..
or.. is the medication making my period haywire already
or.. is my beta blood test result shows false result that it could be positive, which is why my
period has not come until now..
So many "wondering" questions keep playing in my mind....
