making babies 101: lesson 1

for the first time ever, we went to visit a gynae yesterday for a preconception checkup. i was this particular doctor's patient last year at sjmc for a minor surgery so the familiarity was a relief.. furthermore she remembered me from before. i have such a memorable face meh? :P

she gave us some valuable advice on what are the best times to conceive, what kind of viruses i should check myself for (rubella, toxo, hsv, smthg else).. for this they had to take some blood from me (uhuk uhuk painful). then she did an ultrasound scan on my tummy.

"this is your right ovary and your fallopian tube, very nice.. and this is your uterus, it's not down here or anywhere else (ya where else should it be? on my knee?) your uterus is normal.. this is your left ovary and the tube.. there's no cyst or growth anywhere..

basically your organs are biyootiful"

i felt sooooooooooo relieved and happy!

now can make biyootiful baby *silly grin*

oh ya, if u should decide to go for a preconception checkup like us, be prepared with loads of cash in your hubby's wallet or at least go to a clinic with a credit card facility. however, this only applies if they take your blood for lab testing to check for different types of viruses (mine was 4 types), which costs a bomb. our bill came up to RM480 *yikes* it rudefully surprised us but thank god for company medical benefits ;)

for the meantime, these are my babies...
