The 2nd appointment of IVF cycle

Last Friday, was the 2nd appointment of the IVF cycle which scheduled at the noon time. Hubby accompanied me to the Center as we will both later proceed for the acupuncture session after the appointment. As usual, the waiting time at the KLF is long, my appointment was at 2:30pm and was only called in to see Dr. Helena at about 3:40pm. This appointment was just a normal scan to check on the growth of follicles.

On my Day 6, I had 4 growing follicles on my right ovary and only 2 on my left. The numbers of the follicles were in borderline; quantity was not that good. However, Dr recommended to continue as the sizes were growing rapidly. Left ones around 12-14mm and right about 10-12mm. All of us hoped, that the quality would be good once retrieved. I am quite saddened deep down with the low quantity. I knew, hubby has the same thoughts as well. Both of us didn't talked much about it, but he kept encouraging me that things gonna be fine.

I started the Orgalutran today. The nurse demonstrated how it is to be done for the first time. This injection was abit painful compared to the previous two. The soreness lasted for about half and hour; come and go. The Orgalutran has to be injected at the same time every morning for 3 days till my next appointment on Monday morning. The Gonal-F has finished but to continue with Menupor at the same time every night with 150iu.

Injections to carry on:
- Orgalutran 0.25mg every morning
- Menupor 150iu every night

Orgalutran 0.25mg

As per Dr. Helena, since the follicles sizes are growing quite fast, the eggs collection may be done on Wednesday on my Day 11. After all things settled, another RM6,000 payment made today.

All I hope is to be able to have some good quality of follicles to be fertilized. Am worry with the low amount; I do not able to have some good numbers of embryo to be freezed.
