@VaNiLLa: actually more than 1.5k la, but i didn't really count. But i agree the medicine is the killer. I did it at KK, i think they use Puregon. I swear by it. Both Puregon and Pregnyl is like miracle medicine. I didn't ovulate on my own for the past 2 years, and with Puregon and Pregnyl, Bam!
I am not sure about Gonal F, i read somewhere that the chance for Gonal F to get to pregnancy is higher than Puregon, is just that Puregon give you higher estrogen. I seriously have no idea what is that. But 225iu is clearly a lot. I hope your follicle respond to it. Don't worry as long as the follicle has some growing, they will not cancel the cycle. Cause at KK the Medical Officer said as long as my follicle still growing (slow) they still increase the dosage (with some pocket damage). Hope the best for you!
@gnissim23: It depends, when a lot of people are the same cycle with you, they will go scans at the same day with you also. But to beat all the crowd and queue, i used to reach there around 7.40 am. 20 mins before it starts (also want to beat the erp lol) so my queue no always small.
About the gynae before iui, some people go through polyclinic, so i think they skip the gynae, and they get subsidized price also. (i didn't know about that earlier). If you go through a gynae first like me, the process is very long, cause this dr Khong, ask me to do a lot of test to ruled out everything before finally send me for so-iui. Test is ok, but every 1 test, you need to be in your period first and to get the result they make appointment like 2 weeks after that, so in the end, took you so many cycle before finally can go IUI (my initial goal) or maybe that is just me and how dr Khong do stuff.
Don't know if it helps, i start to eat 1 hard boiled egg daily and some multivitamin, my hubby eat the egg too, and sometime half boiled if my timming is good lol and eat ace max supplement 2 months before the iui. That one actually suggest by dr Khong. I think it helps with the motility and morphology of the sperm (or maybe its in your head only i don't know, worth the try)
And good luck Yukimi, the 2ww is a long long journey, much rest and don't think too much.
