After 4 IUI and 3 IVF failures, I had been quite discouraged and had refrained from going to the hospital's fertilization department for three months.
On the 15th of Aug2013, the fist day of the Aug period, I don't know why I felt hopeful again and decided to make an appointment with the hospital. I started over an IVF procedure the next day.
The 28th of Aug2013 was the day that two eggs were retrieved.
On the 30th of Aug2013, two 4-cells embryos were transfered into my womb. It became better as there used to be only one embryo every time.
Now I have to wait for two weeks until blood test.

Embryo Transfer
Fri 07Sep2012 (Day 14) : 0730LT is the appointed time but the doctor was engaged in a surgical operation. So my embryo transfer was started around 1430LT!
I had no idea that I have to drink extra fluid as a fuller bladder provides the doctor with a better view of the uterus. The nurse served me 2 glasses of cold water before I lied down. The doctor said that only one egg was successfully combined with the sperm and the embryo does not look beautiful. After the embryo transfer, I was asked to lie down for one hour. Then the nurse injected 250 mg of Proluton Depot into my hip muscle. Two more box of Duphaston, one more box of Crinone 8% Progesterone Vaginal Gel, and a mini bottle of Proluton Depot were prescribed today.
Proluton Depot : Habitual and threatened abortion, infertility due to corpus luteum insufficiency, primary and secondary amenorrhoea.
Fri 14Sep2012 (Day 21) : Inject 250 mg of Proluton Depot into the hip muscle at a clinic near home.
