its time to stop being lazy and start documenting my first SO-IUI just like what I did when I went through IVF last year.

I have alot of follicles in each of my ovaries yet none of them are big enough.  We need them to be 17mm. And Dr Loh looked at me and said: chum chum, this is going to be expensive.  My lining is ready though.  Well, we have come this far, we just have to increase instead of giving up and letting those monies I have spent right? I hope to keep the total below $2K but I don't think this is possible anymore .. 300iu of purogen is costing me $393. Ouch. And I'm seeing him again on Sat. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Back to TMC~

My last menses was on 20 Dec 2011.  After nearly 2 mths, it came again today. I was elated! Happy beyond words and went down unannounced to consult Dr Loh. Clomid's not ideal because it wouldnt give me the lining thickness SO-IUI needs.  So I agreed to purogon.  50units/night for 5 nights beginning 12 Feb 2012. I will see Dr Loh again next Thursday.
