Another fight with the Urinary Tract Infection

As i becoming older.. now in my mid 30s, i noticed that i easily get infected by unwanted things.
Last time it was vaginal infection.. now, it's the Urinary Tract Infection..huhuhu..
4 years back, i used to suffer a very severe urinary infection. My bladder was in pain most of the time, my urine felt like acid, it was seriously painful to urinate.. and what's more.. i felt the urge to urinate every 3 to 5 minutes...huhu...all medications including antibiotics that was prescribed to me by the doctor at clinics didn't work. So i was referred to the specialist at Subang Jaya Medical Center. The specialist took my blood and did abdominal scan on my bladder. Alhamdullillah.. after few days of medications from the specialist.... i finally recovered from the infection. I was lucky that the infection did not spread to other part of my abdomen.
The whole 2 weeks experience was such a nightmare. Ever since that day, i was always careful and take lots of precaution from getting the urine infection again.

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..

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)..

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..
