Is It Still There?

Sat 29Sep2012 (Day 36) : Found some bleeding after urination in the evening. I was so worried that I cried.

Sun 30Sep2012 (Day 37) : Bleeding again; more than yesterday; found after urination in the evening. Got so anxious, cried, and decided to go to Siriraj with P'Kaew. At the outpatient building, the queue was so long. We decided to go back home and relax. P'Kaew searched for miscarriage and pregnancy symptoms information on the internet. I took a shower, prayed, and went directly to bed.

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.
