Susan,
on ER day u go up to 12th floor woman's clinic and look for either Dora or Michelle (Dr loh's nurses). Hb needs to accompany u and produce sperm. there's a private room near the toilet where the nurses will open for him to use. while he goes to the room, the nurse will bring u down to 8th floor to get admitted. they'll show u to a 4 or 6 bedder room which will be yr resting room after ER.
a nurse will come and ask u some pre admittance qns and to sign form etc. Dr Loh's nurse will go to the operating theatre to prepare.
then u change to yr hospital gown and wait for them to get u. once hb is done he can join u in the room.
when it's time, the nurse will push u to the operating theatre waiting area. hb hv to wait outside. inside nurse will verify yr details etc and then u wait again. when the actual theatre is ready, Dr loh's nurse will come and get u and go into the actual theatre. the anesthetist will insert the iv and then u wait again for Dr loh to come. once dr loh arrives, the anesthetist will insert the sedative and u'll be knocked out.
when u wake u'll be in the operating theatre waiting room again. then they'll push u back to the ward on 8th floor to rest.
the nurse will give u some milo and sandwich and monitor u for any vomitting or side effects.
at this point i still feel quite ok cos i think painkiller still in effect.
after a few hrs, if no prob, they'll discharge u from 8th floor. u go back to 12th floor and the nurses will tell u how many eggs retrieved, wat medication to take etc. and then make appt for ET.
after that u can go home already. after my ER i still went for lunch, walked quite a bit then go home. but in the car on the way home i felt some pain and cramping on my lower abdomen, so i suggest u go straight home. when i reached home i took one panadol and knocked out.
the next day, the embroylogist will call u and tell u how many eggs retrieved, how many useable and how many fertilised.
the following day u go for yr ET. ET process is similar except no more admitting to the 8th floor ward. from 12th floor just go straight to the operating theatre. ET process is just like iui.
