When “Try, Try Again” Becomes a Baby‑Bump Reality!
It’s true what they say: if the first attempt at something doesn’t work, just give it another shot. For Instagram star Yeoh Mong Chin—a.k.a. Mongabong—this mantra has jumped from a generic pep talk to a very personal journey.
From “It Will Just Happen” to “I Need to Be Ready”
In a heartfelt July 23 YouTube video, Mongabong (28) and her husband Matt Lim let fans in on a tiny secret: they’re pregnant. A follow‑up post on Aug 7 dove deeper into the story—why they’ve been “trying,” how PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) turns fantasies into a bumpy road, and how the couple finally feels that warm, fuzzy excitement for their first little one.
“Just Looked Like a Natural Myth”
“We’re not avoiding it, but we’d be super‑super happy if we actually found out we were pregnant,” Mongabong confesses, chuckling at the rabbit‑hole of hope she and Matt once lived in.
But the adoration of a baby isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Now that the phone is buzzing with a tiny life on the way, our story‑teller admits she’s also a bundle of nerves.
“The Baby‑On‑The‑Way Anxiety”
“I hope my body doesn’t fail me. Honestly, deep down, I’m super scared that something might go wrong or it’s just all in my head, or maybe when I wake up, it’s all a dream,” she admits, with a wary grin.
- PCOS has turned “trying” into a marathon.
- She’s the optimistic type—envisioning the wait as a sign‑post on the road to motherhood.
- Yet the fear machine’s still using a slightly ominous set.
In the end, “If at first, you don’t succeed, try, try again” is more than a catchy phrase—it’s the crystal ball that Mongabong and Matt are watching and acknowledging, like a modest family countdown.
Slim chance of pregnancy
Mong Chin Shares Her Journey With PCOS
In a candid video, Mong Chin opens up about living with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), a condition that swaps the usual hormone balance for a chaotic mix of androgens—male hormones that are normally found in tiny amounts in women.
Why It’s Not a Simple “Feel‑Good” Problem
When it comes to trying for a baby, PCOS can feel like a one‑way ticket to frustration. “I don’t ovulate very often,” Mong Chin admits, and “I don’t get my period very often.” For the first 29 years of my life, she basically didn’t go through a normal cycle.
Tracking, The Great Adventure
She’s tried every period‑tracker app under the sun. Each attempt, like a rollercoaster, ends in a pity‑break because her cycles are as unpredictable as weather in springtime.
- App #1: “Let’s set a beep for your next period!” – Fail! The beep never sounded.
- App #2: “Your ovulation window is ready!” – Oops! The window ghosted.
- All the way to App #n: “Stick with us, you’ll get there!” – Still no signal.
The Crunchy Numbers
According to her estimate, women who aren’t ovulating have only a 0.5% chance of getting pregnant—almost a digital lottery. Mong Chin thinks her odds are even lower. “That is not even one per cent, and that’s a normal healthy body. What more mine?” she muses.
Feelings in the Mix
Mong’s words carry an emotional mix of hope, disbelief, and a splash of humor. “It’s like my ovaries suddenly threw a party without inviting me,” she joked, making the story relatable for anyone who’s ever felt like a sidekick in their own body.
Takeaway
This isn’t just about hormones; it’s about figuring out how to live, laugh, and sometimes even roll your eyes at the rollercoaster of cycles. Mong Chin’s experience reminds us that when biology throws a curveball, it’s still possible to find your own rhythm—whether that’s with a baby or with a stronger understanding of your own body.
Trying everything from supplements to ovulation tests
From Hiccups to Baby Smiles: Mong Chin’s Fertility Saga
The Two‑Month Tango
Before the magic of myo‑inositol stepped in, Mong’s cycle was a long, erratic roadtrip—think four and a half months between periods. That’s like waiting for a movie that never gets released!
Enter the Super‑Supplement
After turning to a fertility clinic’s gynecologist, she started taking a daily dose of myo‑inositol. The result? It trimmed her cycle down to a two‑month rhythm, like a reliable, albeit slower, metronome.
- Sudden drop in cycle length
- Consistent, predictable menstruation
- Instant joy‑wave across her entire being
The Not‑So‑Instant ‘Did‑The‑Test‑Say‑No?’ Moment
Desperate for a “green light,” Mong secretly took an ovulation test before a special night with Matt. The screen lit up FALSE—she initially felt a quick dip in her spirits.
Quick mental pep‑talk: “I’m not ovulating right now? No biggie. Let’s keep it chill and have fun.”
And then…
A few days later, breast tenderness sparked a ‘yes or no’:
“Maybe I’m pregnant again?”. Internet wasn’t helpful, so she rolled up her sleeves and bought pregnancy test kits—a makeshift, yet reliable, decision‑maker.
Going from “What’s Going On?” to “She’s Pregnant”
Even though the road wasn’t totally smooth, the final verdict was stellar: yes, Mong was pregnant! And she celebrated with a whirl of relief, laughter, and perhaps a few shed tears of joy.
With the peace of mind achieved, Mong’s journey from uncertain cycles to a confirmed pregnancy is a reminder that a triumph often begins with a single, well‑chosen supplement—and a dash of self‑confidence.
The toughest secret to keep
Mong Chin’s Big Reveal: From Sushi to Baby Bump
When Mong Chin quietly tipped off the world that she’s carrying a little one, she didn’t just announce a pregnancy – she started a revolution in her kitchen. She’s traded the delicate bite of sashimi for the soft crunch of a baby bump, all while keeping her optimism as bright as a neon sign.
What She Had to Give Up (and What We’ll Miss)
- Sashimi – because fish that swims too fast is a no‑go for unborn babies.
- Medium‑rare Beef – cooking it just right is now a crime.
- Uni (Sea Urchin Roe) – the purple goo that was once her comfort food.
- Scallops – because they’re too chewy for a first‑time mom.
“All these things, I cannot touch,” she sighed, a mix of heartbreak and humor in her voice. “You know I was craving that melt‑in‑your‑mouth sashimi, but now I’m stuck with a toy of a tummy!”
How Friends Reacted
Before the announcement went public, her pals were left scratching their heads whenever she’d give a new excuse to avoid those foods. Lucky for her, now that the world knows, her avoidance is completely understood.
Feelings on the Horizon
She’s excited yet nervous about the next few months. “I’m super happy, super thrilled. I hope you all are happy for me!” she told her followers. Mingled with her gratitude, she promised to keep the journey thread lively.
From Gender Reveal to Baby Boy!
Mong Chin recently shared photos from her gender reveal party, and the big news was confirmed: she and Matt are welcoming a baby boy.
“We’re ultra thankful and really humbled to bring this little one into the world.” “Right now, I’m super happy, super thrilled. I hope you guys are happy for me.”
And just remember, if you’ve been learning about pregnancy glow, it isn’t a myth – it’s a glow, a glow, a glow. Mong Chin’s glow? Pure, mother‑to‑be brilliance that outshines any sushi platter.
