I am so grateful that this month opened with a great blessing.
But first, lets have a backtrack from the day we got married.
March 12, 2016 when we got married.
My last monthly period was on February 2016.
I never had a period on March and April.
So we took the pregnancy test and its a negative.
We decided to have a check up with my OB to know what's the problem.
She gave me Duphaston for 5 days
Duphaston
tablets 10mg contain dydrogesterone, a synthetic progesterone, used to
treat a variety of conditions resulting from a lack of endogenous
(naturally produced) progesterone, including menstrual disorders and
endometriosis, and for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and transgender
hormone therapy.
I also had my ultrasound and the result is I had a PCOS.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
is a problem in which a woman's hormones are out of balance. It can
cause problems with your periods and make it difficult to get pregnant.
PCOS also may cause unwanted changes in the way you look. If it isn't
treated, over time it can lead to serious health problems, such as
diabetes and heart disease.
Most women with PCOS grow many small
cysts on their ovaries. That is why it is called polycystic ovary
syndrome. The cysts are not harmful but lead to hormone imbalances.
Early diagnosis and treatment can help control the symptoms and prevent long-term problems.
When
I got my period, April 2016 she gave me a pills for three (3) months
(until June 2016) to regulate my period. I take the first pill on the
second day of my first period for twenty-one (21) days a month.
After
that, when I had my period on July, she gave me another medicine,
Ova-mit. I should take this for 5 days start from the 2nd day of my
monthly period. I had this meds for five (5) months, until November
2016.
We do monthly pregnancy test and its always negative.
Ova mit Tablet is used for Ovulation disorders and other conditions.
It contains Clomiphene Citrate as an active ingredient.
It works by stimulating the ovaries to release eggs.
After
my second month of taking Ova-mit, I had an ultrasound again to check
if I'm producing an egg. And the ultrasound shows that my right ovary is
producing eggs and it's a sign that I can be pregnant.
After
I finished the medicines last November and not getting pregnant by
then, we should wait for another 5 months to take the medicines again.
My period comes every end of the month or first week (for example, my
period for November usually come October 28-November 2). I had my last
period on December 27, 2016 to January 2, 2017.
I
skipped taking pregnancy test, because I'm tired looking for a negative
result. So, I'll wait until the end of January to buy a new pregnancy
test kit.
February 1. I, alone, secretly took the test and its positive. I couldn't believe at first so I hide it to myself for a day.
February 3. I told my husband that I might be pregnant. So we bought 3 types of Pregnancy Test Kit from the pharmacy near our home.
And oh la! Its all have a positive result.
We're going to be parents.... ♥♥♥
But the problem is, I had spotting.
We went to our OB to confirm my pregnancy if it's really a 99.99% positive or just a false alarm because I had spotting.
She gave me the same medicines, Duphaston to secure the baby. I took it two (2) times a day for 5 days.
After
taking medicines, the spotting stops for a while then it repeats every
month on the day of my supposedly monthly period. The OB said that it's
not normal but its not frightening. The bleeding come outside the uterus
so it means the baby is safe in the womb. It's maybe genetic because my
mom also had spotting for eight(8) months when she's pregnant with me.
And to celebrate this new milestone in our life. We went to the
21st Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta
at Clark Freeport Zone, Pampanga last February 12, 2016.
Hubby was not in the photo because he was in the car to secure it safety.
