I was asked to do a blood test this morning, the result is "I have a secret I cant share yet". J
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.
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.
