IVF #2 - Dr. Hwu, Yuh-ming, Mackay Memorial Hospital

So here we are at IVF # 2. I had already forgotten the pains of daily injections from IVF #1. We were ready for another fresh cycle.

• CD 1 : Was prescribed 1 pre-filled syringe of Elonva 150 iu. We were told that this is a relatively new drug where 1 single injection is good for 5-7 days. Yaay! Made my life easier! :) The only downside is that the drug stung and burned when injected but it wasn't as bad as Menopur.

• CD 5 : Returned to the clinic and was prescribed the following:
• CD 5 - Pergoveris 150 iu x 1
• CD 6 - Pergoveris 150 iu x 1, Orgalutran 75 mg x1

• CD 7 : Had quite a good number of follicles. Doctor didn't even bother to write them all down on the follicle monitoring sheet. Trigger shot tonight with Decapeptyl 1ml x 2, Ovidrel x 2 vials

• CD 9 : Egg retrieval

Overall, I feel stimming for IVF #2 was a breeze. Eggs were ready for pick up so fast.
