Here's something for all TTC ladies from Malaysia!!!

Here are the things that I am using in this TTC journey.  And I must say, it's really good stuff.  Sharing with you all!

This is a web / app that is really good and useful.  You can use it for free with limited features but enough for this journey.  If you want to use their advanced features, then subscribe at a small fee.  The best thing about this web / app is that your data are stored in their web and you can access the same on your iPad, mobile phone and desktop.  All you need to do is log in.

I started using it as an ovulation calendar.  Only this month I started using the chart for temping as well.  Once it has detected ovulation, it will tell you your DPO days.  Yon can also key-in symptoms for your tracking.  

If you are using any TTC forum, you can also link your chart in the forum for the forumers to comment.

When I was on the forum, most of the ladies there were from US and commented that they used Wondfo ovulation kit, which they can get easily at Walmart or Target (similar to Giant or Tesco here).  

I did some research and found Wondfo is not available in Malaysia, not in any pharmacy.  So I went to Amazon and found that it's for sale.  Unfortunately, Amazon cannot sell this item to certain countries and Malaysia is one of them.  

Finally, I found a local supplier from Penang, but not Wondfo.  It's a China product and similar to Wondfo and I have been using them this cycle.  It's very easy to use and cheap, RM2 for each strip.

If you buy the OPKs from the pharmacy, each OPK is about RM5 and not cheap considering you only use it once and for that 5 minutes only.

On top of that, the supplier also give you free pregnancy kit.

This supplier Yan Chue Yin also has her own Facebook page.  Check it out.

Many ladies commented that PreSeed is very good to use and some swore that this is the product that made them conceived.  Ladies in US can buy this at Walmart and Target easily.

Again, this product is not easily available in Malaysia.  I found a local supplier but they were selling it at RM90+RM10 delivery charges.  So for that small tube of lubricant, you have to pay RM100.

Good news is that you can buy this product at Amazon and they can sell and deliver to Malaysia.  Best thing is, it's slightly cheaper than the local supplier.  I paid about RM94.

However, I don't really feel comfortable inserting the applicator into my Vjayjay.  It's not as messy as some people have commented, but definitely provide the wetness that you need.  Not sure whether it's helpful in this journey for me, but definitely worth a try.

Rating : 4/5


I find this forum very informative and the ladies in there are very helpful.  This is in comparison to another similar name forum, where ladies were bitter and negative.  All you need to do is sign up and it's FREE!  Also, join a thread that is the most relevant to you because you might get upset at some threads where ladies are TTC-ing for #2,3,4-7 and here you are struggling at #1.

Most of the forumers are from US though.  

It's weird that I can't find a proper TTC forum just for Malaysians.  There are few, but not updated and not active.  Here are some of the Malaysian TTC forums:
There is no dedicated forum for TTC in Malaysia.  On top of that, the forums mentioned above are mostly not active and very little replies.  Just look at the dates.



Looking at all the goodies mentioned above, it seems they are all coming from the US.  Hope this helps you in your journey!  Good luck to all!

Review: Grand Lexis vs Lexis Hibiscus at Port Dickson

I have been to both and can honestly tell you that I much preferred Lexis Hibiscus to Grand Lexis.  And here's why. Lexis Hibiscus Pros: 1. Very near to the highway. 2. Located near the beach (although very small area). 3. Food stalls located within walking distance to the hotel. 4. Better services from the staff. 5. Bigger pathway for walkers and cyclist (for those who like to do some walking and cycling). 6. Better view of the sea. 7. Swimming pool is located outside the chalet with sea view (depends where the chalet is facing). 8. Sauna is provided in the chalet. 9. Wide spread of breakfast buffet. Cons: 1. A bit more pricey. 2. Public pool is boring. 3. No kitchenette. 4. If it rains, the sound on the roof is very loud because of the material of the roof (sounds like zinc roof). 5. Toilet door is without lock.   Grand Lexis Pros: 1. Nice public pool with slides for the kids. 2. Big swimming pool inside each room. 3. Wide spread

The Big Kindy Search Continues

Since my last The Big Kindy Search post , I have been looking around for kindies and been visiting some.  Here's my feel about them all. 1) Tadika Diyana Read good reviews about this and decided to check them out, though out of our way and far from home.  I love how the price is quite ok but still a bit on the high side (you can check it out at their website). I visited the premise and I really love how it is run like a mini primary school.  It's huge, with its own hall, field and canteen, although downsize version and it's just like a school.  Not like a bungalow with rooms as classroom.   However, I have decided not to send my girl because they will be moving to Sungai Penchala (further up from TTDI, near to the Penchala Link), which will be much further from our home.  Though they do have transporters, but I feel very wary about sending my 4 year old (next year) to a transporter. What I like about Tadika Diyana is they have 2 medium, English and Chines

PPUM Pediatrics Emergency Department

Being a mom proves to be the hardest job in the world.  Accidents do happen but when they actually happened, most people will panic and unsure what to do.  And when it involves kids, and being the mother of the only child, with no prior emergency experience, this is a traumatizing and frightening episode and a lesson for me to learn. My 3.5 years old girl was being very curious and naughty that fateful day.  She stood on the chair and play with my massage oil and containers and broke one of the small glass cups and when she panicked she came down from the chair and stepped on the broken glass. She was bleeding a lot and crying.  Since this happened at about 10.30pm, my first response was to drive her to a 24-hour clinic.  So, we went to the 24-hour Mediviron clinic but was turned away by the nurses, stating that her case is very serious and need to be referred to a hospital instead. My mind at that time was running at full speed.  I wasn't sure which hospital to go as
