This 3rd consultation supposed to be our last scan, and here’s our schedule:
13th Nov -  Dr. S having me inject 237.5 IU Gonal-F, and Buserelin at 10 IU
14th Nov – Inject the balance unit of Gonal-F at 0.4 ml, Buserelin at 10 IU, and Ovidrel of 6500 IU at night
15th Nov – I was told to have 2 Dulcolax tablet after my last meal before 11.30 pm, and then fasting at least 6 hours before the Ovum Pick Up procedure.
16th Nov – Ovum Pick Up (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. 

* Notes, uterus lining at 7mm. 




On my day 11th on Buserelin injection today, I understand  it is better to avoid strenuous activities such as running, jogging and lifting heavy weights while doing the meds. However, I just need to challenge myself to finish this 10k race. My endurance. A great way to maintain motivation by picking the correct goals.
