On ET+5, we were told only 1 of 4 embryos able to develop to blastocyst stage, again we ended up having no embryos to freeze. Sad. However I want to be grateful as I was still blessed and cherished with our dear only blastocyst embryo.
Post embryo transfer, I was asked to lie down for 2-3 hours then I was allowed to go back home. I was scheduled on:
21st Nov – to have a routine Cyclogest 400 mg, Progynova 2 mg per vaginal at 3 pm, 11 pm and 250 mg Proluton injection
22nd Nov – 3rd Dec – Cyclogest 400 mg and Progynova 2mg per vaginal at 7 am, 3 pm and 11 pm
24th Nov, 27th Nov, 30th Nov – 250mg Proluton injection

On ET+3, we were told that from total 10 oocytes I got, 4 were immature, 6 were injected and numbers down to 4 embryos. And due to 15%-20% fragmentation, our 4 embryos are not suitable for PGD testing. Again, I was so heart-broken. We were asked to wait until ET+5 to see whether our 4 embryos should have reach blastocyst stage. However, the only down side doing a blastocyst transfer is that there may be some risk that no embryos make it over the hurdle and survive to day 5.

Post OPU, I was allowed to rest in the recovery room for an hour or two, I think I was sedated quite deep, because DH said I was put in a deep sleep for quite a time after that. 
I don't know why, but I think I react poorly with the sedative, I got a motion sick and ended throwing up for the next three days post OPU.

Flying back to TMC early morning at 05.00 am, arrived KLIA, Malaysia around 08.00 am. When we made our way out from the airport, we saw Shane Filan just landed about the same time with us. Here’s a snapshot taken by DH at the airport, you can see SF gets swamped by numbers of his fans. I read somewhere, SF was there for his Autograph Session at 1Utama, Highstreet and another live performance at the Shout! Awards, Malaysia. When we looked at him straight in the eye, we think he's quite cute as seen on TV.

Alright, so on this 2nd consultation,  after having my internal ultrasound scan, I naturally got 10 follicles with the sizes varied at 12mm. Dr. S said it takes 10 days for follicles to grow. Thus, after being stimulated with a start dosage of 237.5 IU Gonal-F for 5 days before, Dr. S top up the dose of my Gonal-F to 262.5 IU for another 4 days, and Buserelin for another 4 days too at 10 IU. We were scheduled to get back here again on 12th Nov.
