Fighting with the Candida Vaginitis aka vaginal discharge !!

I noticed that after i started my fertility treatment, especially after i underwent the HSG procedure, i got this new problem.... vaginal discharge. This discharge i'm talking about is not a normal one that usually come out during our fertile period (everybody would be happy when the egg white discharge come out.. would be a good sign to TTC ;) ).
This one is not a normal one...it looks like a white cottage cheese, sometime it turns into yellowish in color.. when it's yellow.. it smell a bit fishy fuhhss weird eh when you smell like a fish.. the bad thing about it, is it usually cause irritation and real bad itchiness or burning in or around the most sensitive area...(know what i mean ;) )..

The discharge looks pretty much similar
like this cottage cheese 

I read from a website..this abnormal discharge is referred as Candida Vaginitis or in layman terms - vaginal yeast infection. I guess this problem is common in most women, it just that the severity of it that differ.
Since then, for like more than 3 years now, i've been fighting to cure this infection.
I would get this infection usually once or twice a week.. sometime it's just very mild one..but if i'm unlucky.. the infection become a bad one..
This discharge is making my daily life somehow feel uncomfortable....so to avoid this uncomfortable feeling, i wear pantiliner each and every day .. especially when i go to work, travelling, out for shopping etc etc.. One good thing about wearing a pantiliner is that it would ensure that i'm always in a clean state. I would change to a new one if the pantyliner got stained by the discharge.
I usually choose a cotton non-scented type of pantyliner.. the scented kinda of pantyliner not suitable for me.. the discharge would be even more when i use it.

Giuliana & Bill ~ The struggle continue.. 2nd IVF

29 Dec 2010 
Due to my busy schedule to get rid of the extra kilos plus my office works,
I've missed to watch most of the episode of my favorite reality show ~ Giuliana & Bill. 


I was on medical leave on Tuesday, last week due to urinary tract infection.. 
(huhuhu...it was a pretty bad one).
And it was so happen, when i tuned to E! channel, they played a 
marathon episodes of the new season of ~ Giuliana & Bill..yeayy.. 
So managed to catched up with all episodes that i have missed including their second attempt for IVf  (the injections and the egg retrieval)
And i was quite surprised that it will show the season finale of Giuliana & Bill
tomorrow (Wednesday).. 
Oooh.. i should not missed this important episode..
Erm.. then i remembered that me and my hubby has a planned to watch the 
finale of the Suzuki AFF football cup between Malaysia vs Indonesia with my 
hubby's officemate at one of the mamak's restaurant at Putrajaya.. 
Oohh.. now i'm in doubt.. need to choose between the two finale. 
the football match starts from 8pm-10pm.. and the Giuliana & Bill starts at 
10.20pm.. errm,, meaning.. i have like 20 minutes to rush back to home after the 
football match.. hope that the plan work work

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 ;)
