AFC Second Visit

12 March 2015

We're back!

Flight: KLM
Review: Price difference was not too much from Air Asia, paying the extra money was worth the comfort. Plus, we love KLM food! On top of that, from JKT to KL we took the Boeing 377-200ER, their newer aircraft, which business class has extra 8cm legroom. But for us economy-seaters, the difference is touch screen monitor, USB port, adjustable head rest... and the seat chat function

Accommodation: Ashley Boutique Hotel
Review: only a few steps away from AFC, clean and well maintained, definitely will stay there again if we need to

Transport: we bought the fixed rate taxi coupon at MYR 84, no problem there.

Appointment was at 10.30 am. We went there just in time and the waiting room was pretty full. Apparently Dr Colin Lee had to fly to Australia the next day to attend a conference, so all appointments were changed to that day. Waited for 1.5 hour.

Finally our turn, Dr Colin Lee scanned me and counted my eggs. He showed us the result of the blood test and both our Hep B Antigen and Antibody are non-reactive so he advised us to get the booster after the whole process is done. He is not much of a talker but he said my body reacted well to the medicine and we need to come back on 19th to have the Oocyte Pick Up (OPU).

Then we went back to the nurse's little room. So, there were 10 eggs on my right ovary and 9 on my left. Sizes are between 6-12, which is considered not big enough for OPU so I need to continue both the Buserelin and Gonal-F injections. Hopefully by OPU time all eggs will be big, fat, perfectly round and ready for pick up.

So now my daily injections change to:
- Buserelin 0.08 ml 2 first days
- Buserelin 0.10 ml the next 3 days
- Gonal-F 175iu for 4 days
- Ovidrel on the 5th day taken 36 hours before OPU is scheduled

Before the OPU, I need to fast for at least 6 hours (no food no drink) and take laxative after having my last meal.

This time around, the invoice is as below

Gonal F 300IU 1140
Ovidrel 250mcg/0.5ML 200
Dulcolax 5mg 2
Vaginal scan 350
IVF part payment 4000
Dr Colin Lee 350
TOTAL 6042

Crossing my fingers that everything will go well....
