Trying another method

Looks like the traditional way is not really working as it is too taxing on both of us. The hubby said he felt too tired to have to work every alternate day.

So now, we are going to try another method. Taking of temperature and testing with OTS. Started the temperature monitoring this morning but has yet to start with the OTS. I have only 5 strips with me so will wait for another few days before I start using them unless the new batch came.

Today my temperature is 35.9C… can’t believe I’m that ‘cold’ hahahhaa!

Trying the traditional way

Every month we are very hardworking for #2 and so far there isn’t any good news to share which is kinda sad for us. It is getting tiring and it is no fun at all when we have to ‘work’ rather than enjoying.

We were at my parents’ place and decided that we should seek other alternatives if it can give us even the slightest hope. My SIL’s aunt is a certified TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) practitioner so we thought no harm trying this method which is still cheaper as compared to the Western ways… IVF needs at least RM20K and also no guarantee of success.

We paid a visit to her last Friday and after checking our blood pressure and pulse she told us we are fine though my BP was a little high within the normal range. Hubby’s was perfect… so what is wrong?

The Dr told us that we need to increase the frequency of our intercourse as the little ’soldiers‘ needs to be around when my eggs come out. Therefore, she gave us a chart which indicated that we should be ‘at work’ at least every alternate day… 0_O

Before we leave, the Dr prescribed some herbal pills for both of us and wish us luck…

Well…. wish us luck!

Mounting pressure

My boy will turn 3 soon and we still don’t have much luck at being a second time parents…

What make things worst is, blogging and reading some mommies’ blogs which posted on news that they were expecting… with an unplanned child. Reading all these has some how made the pressure mounting on my side. We have been trying and nothing seems to happen and I am actually sick of trying… So daunting isn’t it? Why it is so easy for some (who don’t want any) and so tough for us (those who really wanted it)??

With Chinese New Year coming, we will be expecting more of ‘when are you going to have a second child?’ questions coming from relatives. I know we can’t avoid it but since the Almighty won’t want to grant us any, there’s nothing we can do… just hope for the best I guess…
