My First Ever Visit To An OB-Gyne

Believe it or not, I reached 27 years without ever having the guts or the realization that every woman needs to see an OB-Gyne regularly as soon as she gets her period. Including frequent visits to an OB-Gyne to your routine is as important as having an annual medical check-up for over-all health or regular dental visits for oral health.

Now that I'm pregnant, there's no reason for me not to go. Earlier today, we we went to a friend's recommended OB-Gynecologist.

The doctor's first question was an irritating..."So, what's the problem?"

Pregnancy Test 2 & 3

Yehey!

Ok, I'm too happy and excited!

I bet it's easy to guess why..! Haha!

I'll give you a clue...

Period or Pregnancy Signs?!

It's been a week since I got the negative pregnancy test result and I can't help but wonder if we didn't really make it. In addition to this anxiety, I am already feeling some pre-menstruation signs - food cravings, increased appetite, aches and pains, swelling boobs and dizzy spells.

For the past days, I've been bugging my husband to buy me something sour, specifically, santol (sour tropical fruit) and dipping sauce called sukang pinakurat (a special coconut-based and spiced vinegar, which originated from Iligan City, Lanao Del Norte). Today, he finally bought me some. A friend who stopped by at our house caught me eating these and said that it looks more like I'm having pregnancy-related cravings than pre-period signs! Haha!

I wanted to agree, but stopped before I give myself any false hopes. And, isn't it too early to have cravings? Well, who knows!

Pregnancy Test 1

I'm so excited to find out if we're successful or not, that even if it's still too early for me to take a pregnancy test, I bought two from the drugstore yesterday. I also tried one when I woke up this morning.

The result?
