Stim Day 8.... So Far Not So Good


I started to feel dull ache feeling on my right side of pelvis. It should be a good sign right? My ovary is growing nicely with beautiful follicles. Well i was told to see Dr Tee on 2/4/2012 at Subang Branch. I was having positive vibes all along. Despite having been poorly the whole week of stimming, I've got fever and runny nose. It was bad continued with non stop cough since thursday. I've taken in lots of medication hoping all the pain will go away. I've taken paracetamol, actifed, antibiotic, prednisolone, cetrizine and two other cough medicine prescribed by GP. I also mentioned give me something that is IVF friendly please.

Monday mid day i leave early from my office, had lunch and arrived at the clinic at 2:15. The nurse let me know Dr Tee is running a bit late. Usually he comes at 2:30, so I say i'll wait. Well... I have to wait don't i... I can't just be running around to other Dr to scan me, do I?

Around 3pm, Dr arrived and i get to see him around 3:15 as i'm the second patient in line. First question from the Dr "Have you got your menses?"...... WTF... You can't remember what stage I am and don't you capture something in my file? So I told Dr Tee I've stimming 7 days already and to see the progress... Right... Let have a vaginal scan... Wohooo yeah... Any normal person likes her V to be poke around? Haahaha I was so excited to see how many follies I have.

So Dr Tee explained... My uterine is about 11mm thick... Hmmmm luscious... He explained the utering is moving around like velvet sponge waiting for embryo to implant.... Yeay...

On to my left ovary, he could see around 6 follies with the most dominant 23mm X 16 mm and other smaller sizes. Moving to my right ovary........ Poke around, I started to feel bit uncomfortable... AND.... no follicles on my right ovary... he could not find my right ovary... He said not to worry, maybe during retrieval when I'm fully sedated he could find my right ovary. I'm pretty pissed off. Last IVF, they could only managed to retrieve from one ovary and ended up with zero fertilisation.

He was not happy with my response. He could not remember my gonal f dose. Dr darl... you are supposed to jot down everything about me in my file.

I was given menosys (similar to Menopur HMG (Human Menopausal Gonadotropin)). 2 sets of 75 iu. One for tonight and tomorrow. Will see Dr Tee again on Wednesday 4/4/2012. Today Nurul the embryologist is not around, leaving me with another lady to explain to me about the medication. She has problem speaking malay. well somehow I could manage to understand the instruction.

It's consist of two ampoules. You need to break the glass. I'm a bit nervous about that. since my previous encounter with this sort of bottle, I managed to break the glass and cut my fingers. Browse through the google found some cool tips on how to break the glass. Easy peasy though my hands were shaking throughout the process.

Main problem... the needle was to short to draw the drug. WTF.... I know something wrong here. They should have given me a longer needle... After half an hour struggling at the point of panicking and crying I managed to tilt the bottle and have menosys for injection.

Reminder to me... Get a longer needle from the clinic tomorrow.
