IVF-ICSI NO 5

Here we go again. I feel the right time has come... Since IVF No 4 Clinic still have RM 3000 of my money, i will give another try with the clinic.

Set my appointment with Dr Tee on 29 October 2012. That was my CD12. My plan was to have  the stimulation protocol in the final week of November. Apparently Dr Tee has scheduled his time frame and my calendar does not suit him. So he asked me to take BCP starting 9 November 2012 to delay my menses so he could do OPU on middle of december. It's a bit tricky to start BCP on CD 23 as i know BCP usually taken on CD2...

Knowing my body never follow any rules, it has its own mind.... my menses came on 25 November 2012. CD 39.  Next day I went to the clinic as i already have an appt with the embryologist. I told the embryologist at the reception that my AP have arrived yesterday... She said better see the doctor first. So went in and Dr Tee did TVS on me and said yup that is your menses. You can start taking your suprefact starting today and come and see me back this thursday. He even took some blood for progesterone level.

So starting 26 November 2012 20cc Suprefact daily 7.30 am.

On the 29th I came back to see Dr Tee, he was busy saying that I could start the stimulation. My first question to him was "Don't you want to review my blood test first?"...... Then he begin flipping my file and could not find the test result. So he asked his nurse to bring in the result. My progesterone was low, to confirm that was indeed my menses.

I was asked to take 225 of GonalF and 150 of folliova starting 30/11/2012 friday daily at 8 pm

My new routine
morning 20 unit suprefact
evening 225 gonal f + 150 folliova

Next appointment would be 8/12/2012 morning at Metro Klang.



8/12/2012 Beautiful sunny saturday morning. The trip to Metro clinic was uneventful. I have to go alone. DH in Hong Kong, he'll be back in the evening. Dr Tee was not around. So went to see the sonographer. A quick TVS scan.... Left ovary about 3-4 follicles. Biggest was 19x18 the rest was smaller <15. Right ovary was hard to detect, she could see 1 follicle in the size of 16 or something and the rest was unclear. Then she told me she need to do a tummy scan for my right ovary. she found 2 follicles with the size of 28x25 and 26x24.

That could not be right isn't it. It's too big...... I thought IVF/ICSI prefer 18-20.... I'm worried my egg would be too ripe. She told me i would be ready for HCG trigger this evening. Stop all injection so my last jab was suprefact saturday morning.

10 pm i came back with DH for HCG jab.

10/12/2012 Arrived at the ward at 7.30 am as promised. I have been fasting since midnight the day before no food n drinks. Change into OT gown. Wheeled by wheelchair around 8.30 am to OT room.  The Anesthetist and the nurse was coughing badly... ohohh i hope they don't contaminate  the OT and my eggs.

Later i was awaken at the ward. DH has given his sample while I was at OT. Dr Tee was outside, saying nothing and left. That was not a good sign. I knew it. We were about to leave the clinic still the embryologist did not come n explain about my eggs. So i asked one of the nurse if she could call the embryologist as I would like to see her.

She finally came 15 minutes before we leave. She was being evasive.... Keep asking me why I wanted to see her. After few questions, she said only 2 eggs were retrieved.... out of 9 follicles 7 were empty not even a shape can be seen.

So we went home, hoping for the best.

11/12/2012 No phone call at all. Last cycle the embryologist called around 11.30am. I figure she could not break the same news again to us....


12/12/2012 It's a beautiful number.... I wish the date can represent my next triplet.... Alas it's not meant to be. When we arrived at the clinic, the nurse at the reception asked us to wait at the lobby. Dr Tee would like to see us, but we need to wait as he is attending an operation
