Portia how was yr scan and intralipid session
Hi Mesara,
Friday is also a very busy day at KKIVF . I arrived at 7.20am and there as a queue forming outside the door.
I was lucky to be the 3 rd in the queue for scan. Compared to my 7th day stimulation scan from my 1st cycle in Jan, my results seems to be better in terms of growth rate and lining thickness.I have possibly 14 viable follicles.:
right ovary: 13, 13, 12.5, 12, 12, 10, 9.5, 9
left ovary: 14, 11, 10.5, 9, 8.5, 8
lining thickness : 6.8 triple
l was given 3 more days of stimulation with 300 units of Puregon, Saizen and Ganirelix. However, I was not happy with the review doc as she told me that there is no need for a 3rd scan. she wants to order for a trigger on Monday night for ER on Wednesday.
I was not comfortable with it as I think I need to know the lining thickness before l feel secure with proceeding on Wed.(My 1st cycle, 1 only managed 8mm on day 8 of slimulation. They triggered on day 10.) . | had to Insiston the 3rd scan before she gave in. Not happy with that!
Also, hubby and I found that this team is not as meticulous as the team in Jan.They did not tell hubby when to dear sperm and did not issue the collection bottle. We had to Call back and ask. And the nurse on the phone kept insisting that there is no need to clear even when we told her that in the Jan cycle, the doc specifically told us to do so a few days before ER! Of course, we didn't believe her and insist that she check with the review doc. But she was too lazy to do so. Hence, we decided to confirm with Dr Loh.
I told Dr Loh about the absence of the 3rd scan and he was also very surprised. He also feel that another scan is necessary to confirm the status before ER. And he also confirmed that hubby needs to clear his sperm today before ER on next Wed. Definitely not happy With this team!
The Intralipid eatment is an IV drip. we arrived at his TMC O&G clinic at 1.45 pm and had to wait till 3pm before the drip is at the right temperature to be administered. lt is a milky white oil base liquid that is about 500ML. But only 200ML is given. I had no side effects after that except that my hand feels numb from not moving and the skin around the IV spot was really smooth.
