Hi there...
Baby dust to you first... And jiayou!!
I had my 1st ivf in nuh too...
As a summary for mine which is short protocol. Hope I am not too detailed... Hee..
1) 1st appt to sign alot of papers.. And to meet the psychiatrist and collect Nor E
2) take the Nor E daily till abt 12 days..
3) 3 days later, 1st scan to see how many follicles and also to expect ur mensus to come...
4) 2 days later, to start the morning injection daily for 5 days.
5) 6 days later, to go for 2nd scan and then collect medication for morning and night injection daily for the next 5 days... Nurse will also tell u when ur hubby need to take antibiotics
6) u got to expect to go for a few scans alt days or every 3 days..
7) once follicles are big enough, doc will tell u when is the expected oocyte retrieval.
8) on that day of OR, hubby will provide the sperm at the room in the lab
9) then you are warded and thereafter iv drip and then will proceed for the OR which is under GA. Once done... U got to rest for at least 3 to 4 hrs.. Be prepared to be discharged around 5 to 6pm. 19 days HL will start from OR day.
10) the embryologist will call u every morning and update u abt the embryos..
11) on the 3rd day after OR, you will be warded and be arranged to go for embryo transfer... If you so not have any ohss. OR does not require GA. So you can leave after 2 to 3 hrs rest. The only tough part is that u need to have a full bladder and u got to make sure you don't pee on the doc when he is doing the ET procedure for u...
12) 2 days later, you will need to go bk for doc check.. Just to check for ohss.. Make sure u are not bloated...
13) then the 2ww, until your blood test...
Financial cost.. My total cost is abt 11k+.. After gov grant 6.3k and medisave of 4k, I paid in cash abt $900..
The above are based on my experience... But every ladies varies.. Depending on how you response to the simulation...
