Finding out

The Long Story

I was attending the Risk Associates Roundtable workshop in PD and still on a no carbohydrate diet in early December. I knew that my period is overdue but didn't think much since it has previously been overdue for two to three months.

I think the early signals were most evidently the fact that I was taking the fiber drink as usual but had constipation problems, I could not take the fiber drink without feeling nauseous and the fact that I had not lost any weight at all in the month of November. Okay, okay.....I admit that I had deviated from what I was supposed to take while in London and Hong Kong, but hey, October with open houses every weekend I was still able to lose 3kg!

I slept very late the last night in PD trying to finish the MC paper, at lost for ideas most of the time, but had to complete it since I was quite sure the team depended on me to complete the paper. Managed to sleep by 5am, I think, and that was not much sleep to begin with. So going into Wednesday, I was so tired already...

Drove back to Seremban, reached home about 3pm and fell asleep on the sofa. I knew I had an appointment at Sispa but was just too weak to go. Complained to Elaine about the fiber drink not helping and decided to go to clinic instead.

At the Clinic

Told Dr Lynn that I have been feeling very tired, my period is overdue and she suggested to do the pregnancy test to rule out all possibilities. Okay what the heck I was sure I wasn't just get the test done. So imagine my face when she told me that I was! My first reaction was, "but I am 42 already....."

Informing Husband

Bear in mind, I had already complained of all the symptoms to my husband the week before. So I send him an SMS just saying "I am" and the response was "Well we have always talked about having another one and having one at this age is a bonus" or something like that.
