Anyone in Lucrin stage now?
Hi ladies,
Retrieved 16 follicles, only 7 contained egg.
Jus now the embryologist called. only 6 are matured, and 4 are fertilised today.
Tomorrow she will update me on the quality.
Rostrum, we paid extra of $1121 due to my gonalf dosage.
I was on 225iu, then increase to 300iu, then reduce to 262.5iu.
And yes for all the early check like BT, consultation with Prof Wong, all are not claimable.
And that i think total to aboout $700-800.
Gloria, yes the nurse asked me whether i wan 7 bedded or single, when I asked the different she said $100. I def prefer single loh.

Hi Monica,
How come you so sure ET tomorrow? i'm not being informed yet. but most probably will be Sat. unless the embbies are good quality then will be on Monday.
Yes, yesterday i was in so much pain also. from lower abdominal, vagina, backache.

hey gals...
i noticed alot of gals here feel alot of pain after er... is it normal? cos me and a few gals over at dr foong thread doesnt complain of such discomfort... in fact i dont feel a thing after i woke up from my er... only have slight bleeding which last for abt 2 days... is it at kkh the er procedure is more invasive?
if it is...then its good that gals who are going to have er at kkh can discuss it with their dr to see how to minimize the pain... cos its quite scary with those telling the pain after er...

Gloria, I agree with you too. The short period i had for Stage 2 could be the reason why my bill was such an amount. I had 150units of GonalF for the first 4/5days. Then went for scan, after which it was reduced to 125.5/115.5units(cant remember). I think they did not want me to suffer from OHSS. My first scan I had like about 8 follicles though some are small.
Rostrum, the cost cover everything in IVF-suprefact, gonalf, consultation, scan, blood test, crinone gel and the ET and ER procedure itself. It inculde the stay in the hospital. I took one bedder too.

Actually not say 'pain' but discomfort. i felt totally fine when in hospital. not even drowsy. very excited to be discharged. had my milo and biscuit and once discharged i had another cup of milo and butter toast at kopi tiam. after that i think i started to have tummy ache already.
but it is due to diarrheao loh..
The vagina pain is soreness.

Jus sharing the protein level of spirulina;
Protein
Spirulina has the highest protein of any natural food (65%); far more than animal and fish flesh (15-25%), soybeans (35%), dried milk (35%), peanuts (25%), eggs (12%), grains (8-14%) or whole milk (3%). Larger algae, like seaweeds, are macroalgae. They already have an important economic role. About 70 species are used for food, food additives, animal feed, fertilizers and biochemicals.
I'm thinking if i take more of spirulina, can i don't drink Ensure?

hi Su, yeah. maybe because every hour when nurse check me, i kept telling her, i'm hungry. hahahha
Chin, if dr no review, then who give permission to take out the drip and let u drink?
It was the dr who told me the no. of follicles retrieved.
One thing for sure, the nurses and doctors are very attentive. even the embryologist is very nice. asked how am I today and if experience any pain to call who. and I don't feel she is rushing the conversation at all.

Hi Vi4n,nurse reviewed it. no doc same to see us at all. she came to check our blood pressure a few times. after got off the bed and changed, the same nurse told me the no. of follicles retrieved. my last scan scan showed 11 folicles but end up retrieved 17. is scanning usually not accurate?
Vi4n
dun worry ..
although i didnt see his face nor talk to him on my ER.. he is very experienced doctor..
no discomfort for me at all
and he managed to retrieve all the follicles on both sides for me.. cos that time.. prof did say 1 side of my ovaries quite high..might not be able to retrieve on ER day.
oh.. dr chew is just a bit slower than prof only. i heard from the chr nurses lah.. hehehe'
