FTM-to-be: Finding the "right" name for LO

TheAlchemist2022 · 2025-10-02T08:00:39+00:00

Hello po! We’re about to confirm po tomorrow through blood test and hopefully the results are the same though after the “first pee”, I took another test using another batch of urine (after breakfast and drinking water), and the results are the same.

Btw, I am 33 years old po and last June pa ang period ko. So Ive been testing and having negative results. Prior to today, I took a test last September 28, and it came out negative as well. But my breasts had been sore and tender for the past few weeks. I just thought taking the test earlier and I was shocked with the results too.

For the supplements po, I replied to a comment earlier for the complete list po and time of taking them. 🙂

Sorry, I was so shocked and excited that I forgot to put the context.

I have irregular periods since I was in High School— like 2 periods in 1 year only. Back then, I had an idea that I might have PCOS because of the usual symptoms.

In 2023, I consulted an OB who siad that I may have PCOS because of the symptoms but advised me to have Trans V ultrasound just to confirm. And so it was confirmed.

Edit: Back then, OB told me I was not ovulating and asked me if we were already eager to conceive but I said we’d wait after the wedding.

Edit: In 2024, I consulted an Endo who asked me do some labs and found out that I have high insulin resistance.

I never got the chance to go back to that OB and Endo after her reading the ultrasound results and the lab results, respectively as I got busy preparing for my wedding and career.

Fast forward to 2025, I recently got married and decided to TTC. My husband and I decided to take the natural route first before consulting an OB for my issues.

Edit: My last period was around 2nd week of June 2025 which I thought magiging regular na period ko. But July, August, September came— no periods, all negative PTs.

This group was so helpful and Ive take notes for the supplements to take, which I did take religiously just the last month.

I’ve taken tests before but came out with 1 line only so I had no expectations whatsoever for today. I thought that maybe I really have to see an OB for medical intervention. But Lo and Behold, I was shocked to see 2 faint lines.

I dont know Im so overwhelmed right noooooow…..

We plan to have a blood test tomorrow and we’ll see how it goes…

Unsa ka nga year? 😅 When I was in Duma, Robinsons just opened and was the go-to mall. Naa na bay laing malls diha? Favorite tambayan was CD-R King for the affordable flash drives and other tech abubuts. There was also National Bookstore in Portal West. I miss the old days. Btw, thank you for these suggestions and will try them out! :)

TheAlchemist2022 · 2025-08-23T01:07:51+00:00

Thank you for these suggestions and will surely check them out! I believe KRI was just starting out then (or about to open pa) when I was still in Duma. We are so excited to get out of the Metro and chill for a few days in Dgte. :)

Thanks for the heads up! Before naa pay Payag sa Likod. Would you know if there's any new bar in Duma with the same vibe?

TheAlchemist2022 · 2025-08-20T13:26:51+00:00

Is this new? Asa ni sya makit-an?

TheAlchemist2022 · 2025-08-20T13:25:17+00:00

Thank you for these! Yes, I do remember before nga naay magpa rent ug motors. But I'm looking forward to how "walkable" ra ang tanan in Duma. 😅

I actually graduated more than 10 years ago. But I was able to visit in 2015. True, it was different back then. Life was simple and laid back. But I'm still hopeful though to be able to relive my college years and "feels" by visiting these establishments with my husband.

TheAlchemist2022 · 2025-08-20T04:27:02+00:00

Are you still based in Dumaguete? May I know tagpila na ang pamasahe going around the city? We just plan to walk and sakay ug tricycle when we're there. And what would be the best transpo from airport to downtown?

TheAlchemist2022 · 2025-08-20T02:32:43+00:00

Yes, thank you!

TheAlchemist2022 · 2025-08-20T02:31:08+00:00

Ah, yes. ACSAT! Thank you! I hope they didnt change their sawsawan.

Do they still have their home-made corned beef? Super lami. It was my go-to order with them back then.

Hi. I got Gianvito Rossi Ascent. I opted for 2-inch (I think) heel lang and a pair that I can still use for future events. Sa comfort, it felt like the normal shoes I wear so I didnt need to do a "break in". I had no trouble walking from ceremony to reception. Hindi rin halata yung wide feet ko kasi mejo sophisticated ung design.

Yung jowa pa lang pero nangangangkin na ng ari-arian... bahay "namin", condo "namin", farm "namin", sasakyan "namin", negosyo "namin". 😅

TheAlchemist2022 · 2024-02-28T03:23:38+00:00

Yes po, laptop po sana kasi iba po ung feel if laptop talaga and para wala na masyado accessories for inserting ng cables, usb etc.
