Ah sya na din pala ang naging main OB mo. Yung REI kasi dito sa amin sa South, papabuntisin niya patient, tapos sa Peri niya ipapahandle once nagpregnant na. Mga high risks din kasi pinapa buntis niya. hehe.

Yes sis kasi kampante na ako sa kanya kahit ang mahal mahal nya. Closely monitored naman nya ako every 2 weeks ang check up ko with ultrasound kasi may sarili syang machine tapos nung first few weeks halos weekly ako nandun. Tsaka yung mga infertility patients na nabuoan nya ng baby di na rin talaga lumipat kahit mga APAS patients sa kanya pa din nagsstay. Sya din ob ni Mariel Rodriguez. 250k nga ang quote sakin pag cs. Pikit mata nalang.

Yep, super famous yang si Dra. Manalo. Pag nasa mga convention sya, ang wild ng mga alahas niya. Hahaha.

Lucrative practice talaga ang REI, kasi every patient is at their last stage na of hoping for a kid. Kaya talagang gagastusan, againts all odds kumbaga.

Atleast sis, napabuntis. And really, whats 250k for a miracle inside the tummy. Napagiipunan naman yun. Pero ang baby, kahit na anong yaman, kung di talaga nagawan ng paraan, walang mangyayari.

PF ni doc jan mga 100k. Yung anesth niya mga 40k. Hospital bill mo with baby siguro mga 75k. Pedia PF yung remaining. Goodluck sis. 🤗🤗

Grabe, 250k na!  Sabagay 10 years ago, 150k yung pinaprepare nya sa akin, sa Asian Hospital din yun noon, CS din.  Pinipili din ni Dra Manalo yung pedia na kasama nya sa DR.  Normally kasi yung anak mo me risks din kahit paano.  CS din ako, na nagka prenatal diabetes just before ako nanganak, with a baby na me problem pagkalabas (something to do with breathing).  Naiwan pa si Nate for a week after I gave birth, So mga 200k inabot yung bill namin.

Yes mga sis. Kung tutuusin naka 250k na din ako sa iui at pregnancy meds and checkup by the time na manganganak na ako. Plus 250k pa sa delivery edi 500k na din hahaha. Parang ivf na din lols. Pero wala akong pake sa pera. Kikitain din talaga natin yan. Ang mahalaga habang maaga pa, nagawan ng paraan kasi time is of the essence sa ating mga babae. :)

Sis MedChic oo wild talaga mga alahas ni doc. Feeling pulubi ako pagkatabi ko sya. Hehe. Alam ko naman na may less expensive obs pero malaki utang na loob kay Dr. Manalo pati super bait ng mga assistant and secretaries nya. :)

Sis mommynin8, naku baka lumagpas pa ako sa 250k kung umabot ka ng 200k 10 years ako. Good luck nalang sakin diabetic pa naman ako. Pero ok naman lahat kay baby sa congenital anomaly scan nya. Sana talaga Lord walang problema paglabas nya. :)

sis damonsgirl magdala ka ng extra just as buffer.  feeling ko nag over ako sa limit ko kasi naging preemie si nate (he was supposed to arrive may 9, he wanted out april 9 <my birthday!> lumabas ng april 15).  nung lumabas sya, sabado de gloria pa, so i think additional bayad din yun.  nung congenital anomaly scan nya wala din lumabas, pero feeling ko nung sunday na marami na akong dalaw dinala  din si nate sa room ko, so pinagkaguluhan din sya nun.  my tip, paglabas ng baby, huwag ka na magpadala sa kanya... ikaw na lang magpadala sa nursery for your bonding and feeding.  di naman sa pagdedelikado, pero baka me kung ano yung mga visitors mo na pwede makahawa sa baby mo.  too late to learn for me, yung pinsan ng officemate ko na kasama nyang dumalaw nun me sipon at ubo at isa sya sa nakigulo, so ayun.

Aaah. Premie pala baby mo sis. Sana full term naman si baby ko. Wala na daw po kasing nursery ngayon. Room-in agad si baby once na ok sya. Pag suotin ko nalang ng masks at pag hand sanitize mga visitors at strictly no touching and kissing hahahahahaha. Ang strict ko baka magtampo sila at di na ako dalawin next time. Pero I suppose alam naman na nila yung risks ng newborn dahil dami ng ganun tips sa Facebook.

sis mommynin8, walang po na-mention about dinner nung nag seminar kami sa Asian last June 25 pati nung nag tour kami sa Genesis. Genesis na din ba yung tawag nung time na nanganak ka? :)

Sana di maudlot! I am praying intently..

I am 34 years old, got married last year, luckily got pregnant with twins (without any meds) but unfortunately, miscarried at 9 weeks. Almost TTC for 1 year to be exact. With natural conception. Husband, normal count.

Started 3 months ago with Folic Acid 5mg

Started this cycle - Metformin 500mg twice a day, eat a lot of fertility food (like seriously follow this diet) Avocado, Banana, Melon, Brocolli, Asparagus, Spinach, Banana, Oat, Selenium enriched eggs. Wheat bread and brown rice. ZERO Caffeine from Coffee, NO Added sugar (white bread, white rice, ice cream, candies, chocolates and desserts), Soda, Preserved meat (Bacon, Tocino, Hotodgs, Nuggets.. Etc) ang hirap ng diet, narealize ko how unhealthy Filipino diet are. Pero, sa help ng parents ko na dapat nagdidiet na din, nakayanan ko naman ang diet change na yan. Sine I freed myself from Caffeine from Coffee, i resort to Tea. And I felt better.
Exercise - not much, just my daily walking from work.
I weighed 73kg, stand 5'7". Walang weight loss na nangyari. Hahaha. Pero again, I feeling better.

So here's my detailed cycle.. With morning BBT using regular digital thermometer, and Kindra app for charting

Day 01 - Mens
Day 02 - Mens
Day 03 - Mens / Clomifene 50mg lunch
Day 04 to 07 - Clomifene 50mg
Day 11 - Follicle Monitoring (3 follicles 1.6, 1.4, 1.2cms, on LEFT only, Right ovary, tamad, zero follicle. Endometrium 7mm) No additional FSH or trigger shots, I am dead scared talaga sa mga shots.. Swear. Sabi ko pag di umeffect, next cycle Ill braved those needles. Symptoms, cramping lang.. So I think malapit na ang ovulation.
Day 12 to 14 - OPK By Urine LH once a day, and Ovatel salivary estradiol = all negative
Day 13 to 15 - OPK = negative, Ovatel = started to have semi ferning pattern I thought hindi na ako mag ovulate because of small follicles. Pero I have heavy egg white discharge, so parang pwede..
Day 16 - started to have a positive OPK (pero its not really that strong) symptoms - almost 2 hours of excruciating pain like 9/10 pain scale on my left. So I assume that I ovulated nian. And the not that strong lines from OPKs, ok na yun. Iba yung symptoms based diba? About discharge and cervix pala, nagbabase lang ako sa discharge sa undies. No sticking inside. Hahah. Clear discharge at this time. So pak na pak sa ovulation symptoms, BD morning approx 9 hours before ovulation. Tas natulog ako on my left for next consecutive 5 days, naniniwala ako na nasa left talaga ako nag ovulate kaya para matulungan ang mga spermies na dumerecho sa Left tube. Hahaha. After nun flat na ako matulog, baka mastuck dun. Mahirap naman ma ectopic)
Day 17 - 1DPO - Started with Duphaston 10mg TID. Started with Pineapple fruit with core 1 cup (this is supposed to for next 5 days, kaso.. Naderecho ko until 8DPO)
Day 17 to Day 21 - 5DPO - no symptoms.. At all. Except for elevated temp distinct from the first two weeks.
Day 22 - 6DPO - creamy discharge na OA, tapos cramping na wagas. Feeling ko dito na nag implant sa uterus. Yun lang. Walang sore nipple.
Day 26 - 10DPO - nawala na ang cramping, continue si creamy discharge na heavier. I did PT, BFN. Tapos I cried, I almost lost hope. Cramping lang tas wala na eh. Parang di compatible. Lalo siguro at hanap ng hanap ng symptoms. I asked my husband for adoption, or one more try sa Kato na, pero kailangan magipon pa. Sabi niya, iba ang faith niya kay God. Magtiwala lang kami. Sabi ko, magiging masaya naman kung dalawa lang kami, sabi niya, tama.. Pero hindi naman mangyayari yun, kasi mga magkaka anak kami ulit. I slept crying again.
Day 27 - 11DPO - temp checked, continued to go up, aba.. Sabi ko parang ito na ata ang triphasic na pattern. Tapos exaggerated pimples all over my face and body. May parang epigastric upset na. Sore nipples, wala pa din. Kakaasar. Isip ko neto, ang obvious na magmemens na ako, sa pimple ko pa lang na may instant gathering pala. Josko. Hahaha. FMU PT - BFN. Few hours passed, around lunch time, check out ko ulit si PT, OMG. Napatalon ako sa banyo may VERY VERY FAINT LINE. Hyperventilate konti, tawag ko si husband. Confirmed very very faint line. PT ako ulit, shempre BFN at first. Nung gabi, paguwi namin galing date, OMG, meron talagang VVFL again. Pero shempre anjan pa din ang doubts, baka evap line, false positive kasi beyond hours pa ang reading.
Day 28 - 12DPO - FMU. Hindi na sya VERY VERY faint line. VERY faint line na lang. Pero right in the 3-5 mins reading time na sya nag appear. And hindi na kailangan magsquint, tapat sa ilaw or whatever.. Meron na talagang line. Andito pa din si creamy discharge, may onting cramping again, very furious acnes, and guess what.. Andito na si sore nipples and boobs. As in tight bra ako ngayon, pag niloloosen, ouchie talaga. Sabi siguro netong mga boobs ko, antay ka ng antay, lungkot lungkutan ka.. Ngayong meron na, arte arte ka jan. Hahahah. And, I have strange sense of smell na. During my first pregnancy kasi, eto ang very distinct ko na symptoms kaya ako napa PT nun. Heightened sense of smell. As in bad smell lahat except ang smell ng balat ng asawa ko.

Of all the discourages and frustrations and disappointments during the past months, of all the grievances, and broken soul for me.. I am very delighted and still praying for a sticky bun. Theres still a lot of worries, pero I am keeping myself positive with all the prayers. I am still with you with this struggle. May pagka baliw din ako, more than you'll ever imagined me. Hindi mo nga maiisip na OB ako. Sometimes, sa daming alam, mas nakaka complicate. Pero, ayun.. Please take all these wordings from your friendly type A OB TTC GTalker here.

Will be posting more updates.
13DPO bukas..


Baby dusts.. Isang trak!
