Mrs. Anne and I got out of the car at the same place, we were in front of the hospital lobby. there were several people who greeted us, smiled politely and took us to where we were meant to be. I've been pressing my head which suddenly felt dizzy, when I smelled the medicine in the hospital.
I really don't like the strong smell of medicine, I walk as casually as possible. although actually the smell in my nose is not good enough to accept all these scents. I looked down the hall after aisle that we passed, the room in the hospital was quiet. I'm not sure if there really are residents or not, or here it is specifically for the rich who are used to luxurious facilities and comfort.
We entered into one of the rooms, a room with various sophisticated equipment there. The scent is more soothing because I smell the fragrant lavender flowers. My nose is starting to feel safe again now, I've been ordered to sit on the sofa with Mrs. Anne.
There was a female doctor who smiled sweetly and greeted her in a friendly manner.
"Good afternoon Mrs. Anne, Miss Choon-hee. Nice to see you." said her.
"is she the doctor?" i mumble in my mind
"Afternoon Doctor Lita, I'm glad to finally meet you after so much hope. Right now beside me is the woman I told you on the phone yesterday, I want a healthy pregnancy from her. So maybe you can check her health of the uterus and whether she is already pregnant. or not yet." Mrs. Anne's words made me quite uncomfortable.
she's too direct and doesn't respect my feelings at all, of course he doesn't respect my feelings. sHe just doesn't have feelings.
"Alright madam, it's good to experience the day you've been waiting for. Let's start with some basics, Miss Choon-hee." after telling Mrs. Anne, the doctor named Lita looked at me with a very sweet smile.
At least the aura released by the doctor in front of me was enough to calm me down.
"Yes.." I said, receiving a kind greeting from him.
"I'm going to explain some basics before we find out About your pregnancy. There are still many women who don't know how to calculate gestational age. While it's difficult to accurately determine because we can't know exactly when fertilization occurred, gestational age can be estimated in several ways.
To calculate gestational age, the method that is widely used today is based on the date of the last menstrual period. The first day of the last menstrual period (LMP) is considered the first day of gestational age. Usually a woman will undergo a pregnancy of about 280 days or 40 weeks from the HPHT.
The assumption that HPHT is the first day of pregnancy is still considered quite accurate, even though fertilization usually starts around 11-21 days after that date. This method is known as the Naegele formula. This method is considered best for women who have a regular 28-day menstrual cycle.
on that statement i told you, can you understand Miss Choon-hee?" Asked the doctor, I who heard the narrative from her was quite clear and firm.
I know that there are some things I really need to know before I actually get pregnant. After all, my child will be the most expensive diamond and must be taken care of properly.
"I understand." I said slowly.
"So? When was the last time you had your period?" Ask Lita's doctor.
I who was asked like that immediately swallowed my own saliva, when did I last have my period? do not know! I forgot, I haven't even felt the blood coming out of my womb for months. I just remembered that I have a slight deficiency about the hormone, and I think this is going to be a big problem.
what should I do now? I bit my lower lip nervously, what if I find out I'm not fertile? because I rarely menstruate? Oh my gosh Choon-hee! how can you forget something as important as this?
"Miss Choon-hee? You heard my question right?" Doctor Lita held my hand, I immediately nodded and smiled a little.
"I forgot the date." I said honestly, I glanced slightly at Mrs. Anne. she was already looking into my eyes scornfully, but her mouth was still tightly shut.
"Actually it doesn't matter if you forget, we can do a physical examination and a transvaginal ultrasound, to determine the gestational age more accurately.
Ultrasound results in calculating gestational age are more accurate if done in the early days of pregnancy. This is because in the first few weeks, the fetus tends to develop at the same rate. We can do an ultrasound scanner now, but before that I want to ask you a few things. do you really forget because your period often changes, or do you really have a problem with that? maybe your period can run about once every 2 months, once every 4 months or maybe this year you haven't had your period at all? can you tell me your last condition Miss Choon-hee?." The question from the obstetrician in front of me was too detailed, damn I didn't think of anything like this.
Why can I so casually walk to the hospital and forget something important? That I'm not fluent in menstruating. what will the witch beside me say later? is she going to kill me right away? because I turned out to be barren?
Ahhh Choon-hee, you were too arrogant before. until you get into trouble on the first day of checking.
"I don't think I have a good Menstrual cycle. It's been about three months I haven't had my period." I said honestly, I saw Doctor Lita who glanced at Mrs. Anne. For now I dare not look at Mrs. Anne, I am afraid that she will give me an evil look and make me faint just by looking into her eyes. like Medusa..
"Okay, maybe we'll immediately do a thorough check-up. Because actually irregular menstruation is a condition when you experience a different menstrual cycle than usual. So, the distance between your menstrual cycle or menstruation keeps changing.
Women with normal or regular menstrual cycles, which range from 21-35 days will experience between 11-13 menstrual periods in one calendar year. This means that there is a chance that you will have about 13 chances of getting pregnant every year. On the other hand, women who have irregular periods may have a much less chance of getting pregnant because the fertile period is uncertain," Doctor Lita told me.
Once again Doctor Lita looked at Mrs. Anne, she looked unsure of what would happen next. if she's not sure, now what about me?
God help me, I know my sins is unfogivable But at least save myself and make me pregnant, I have to save myself and find out where my father and mother are.. At least I'm pregnant just this once.
