Started on Nor-E - 14 Dec 13

Ms Scarlett finally came for a visit on Friday!  Made the call to the clinic and was told to collect the Nor-E medicine by 4.30pm on Saturday!

Happily reached at 2.30pm only to find that the clinic and pharmacy had closed.  *Horrified Look* Oh my, the nurse had given me wrong instructions.  And she actually called me back on the same day to remind me to collect the Nor-E medicine by 4.30pm the next day.  I was almost going to bring on my bitch mode.

Luckily, another nurse was very helpful and that helped to control the temper.  I was told that since I have the prescption, I was able to collect the medicine at the emergency pharmacy.  Well, the pharmacist wasn't of much help and couldn't even answer some simple questions e.g.

• Must the medicine be eaten at the fixed time every day? 
• Can we still try naturally because we read that Nor-E is also a contraception?
• How long does it take for the period to come after stopping Nor-E?

Well, she was quite clueless about it.  In fact, she turned around to ask me why I am eating Nor-E since Ms Scarlett is visiting.  *Palm Face* 

Based on my own calculations: if Ms Scarlett reports 1 week after stopping Nor-E, it will hit right into CNY.  That would be utterly disastrous!  Anyway, there is nothing I can do except to continue eating my Nor-E for 21 days.  Finger and toes crossed that Ms Scarlett would report at a strategic time which is 2-5 days after stopping Nor-E or anything after 9 days after stopping Nor-E.  That would be the most ideal! 

Succumbed to the travel bug

After much dilemma, I succumbed to the travel bug.  Gonna burn a hole in my pocket, but I am throwing caution to the wind.  Since Ms Scarlett is not here, it gives me ample time to go for a 2-week holidays!  We are going both Taipei and Hong Kong in early Jan.  Works out perfectly because I like Hong Kong and  hubby likes Taipei!  And we LOVE winter!

Anyway, it is our 6th year wedding anniversary so it's my treat for hubby.  Mr Hubby won't go traveling unless it is sponsored (in his attempt to stop me from going on a holiday).  Obviously, he failed and we couldn't resist Cathay Pacific offer of S$500/pax for both countries.  To save money, we are going to try to rent an apartment in Taipei instead of a hotel stay.  I think it is gonna be an experience.  For HK, we would be staying in a hotel because I really want to have a king size bed. Most HK apartments only come with a queen bed.

And Yippeee, there is always that constant little constant voice in my head that we might just strike it lucky.  Well, everything has its timing.  I will try not to stress about it and put the trust in my lord.  He has his plans for me and his timing will always be perfect.  Just can't wait for the trip!  *giggle giggle*

To travel or not to travel?

Nopers, I am not preggies.  I am still awaiting the arrival of Ms Scarlett.  She is almost like a snotty princess who cannot be under any stress.  Once there is stress, she goes all mad and unpredictable.  Anyway, I can only start Nor-E medication when she visits. Counting the days, we would only start injections in end Jan.  This means that I have a small window to travel in early Jan, and the urge is super overwhelming! PS: I love to visit cold places and now is the season!

But I have a dilemma whether to travel in Jan:

• If IVF succeeds, traveling is out of the cards for me for a year, so this Jan window is very dear to me. It could be the only time I could travel this year.
• If IVF fails, I do want a trip to cheer myself up and that would mean 2 trips in a span of 3 months.  This would be very dear for my pockets since I am on no-pay leave.

 Oh gosh, to travel or not to travel???
