Day 36 on body shaping program / Day 10 on IVF

Day 35 50.0k

I went to the clinic to take another blood test and the first ultrasound in the morning. The number of follicles were 7 in the left ovaries and 9 in right. The ultrasound also showed the size. According to the ultrasound specialist, the follicles looked good in size and number and the condition of my ovaries seemed good and young. It was big relieve that to find out the number was not in dangerous revel so that I can still continue the process of IVF.

In the afternoon, I got a call and went back to the clinic to see the nurse with a news for me. I was advised that the date for our theater, sperm and egg collection, is going to be on 31st, in two days. It was fantastic news that we could go to the next step!! !! She gave me the trigger injection which will release the follicles from ovaries and has to be taken exact 36 hours prior to the theater. Another news was that the embryo transfer is not going to happen straight after the fertilization which follows the theater due to the current high estrogen level. Embryo transfer has to be held till my body condition goes back to normal and it will be in two periods away which should be in September. So, they will freeze my fertilized embryo(s) till then.

I was given a medication called CABERGOLINE to get my estrogen level settled ASAP in order to prevent OHSS. The level apparently rose up again to 21.000 today. I will have to take it for 8 days. I was also told to drink a lot of water, to rest (so no exercise for a while)  and protein diet as well as keep eye on any symptoms for OHSS such as short of breath.

I just had the trigger injection. It was pen type injection so as easy as others.

It has been a bit of worrying time the last two days since I found the estrogen is concerning level and the possibility of cancellation and further damage on my fertility. Sure it is a bit of wait but I'm pretty happy with this outcome.

I will try to get my body back to normal and get ready for further process!

今朝は2度目の血液検査と初の超音波検査。左の卵巣に7個、右の9個の卵子があった。超音波ではそのサイズまで測れる。検査をしてくれた専門の人に、よるとサイズも数も良く、卵巣も若く良い状態といわれた。何よりも卵子の数多すぎて今回の治療を諦めるというようなことにならなかったことが何よりもほっとした。

その午後にまたクリニックから電話があり、看護婦さんとミーティングの必要があるとのこと。ドキドキしながら戻ると、卵子と精子摘出の手術を二日後の31日に行うという知らせだった。卵子摘出の36時間前きっかりにする排卵誘発剤の注射も受け取った。もう一つのニュースはエストロゲンの数値が高すぎて体が通常の状態ではないので、受精した卵を膣内に戻すのは体が通常に戻るまで待つ必要がある。2回目の生理の後にということだった。約2ヶ月待つことになるが、リスクを考えたら待つことはなんでもない。
OHSSを避けるために大至急の処置をする必要があるとのことで、CABERGOLINEというエストロゲン数値を下げる薬も貰った。今日は昨日よりまたさらに1000あがって21000になっていた。この薬を毎日欠かさず取ることと、水をたくさんのみトイレにたくさん行き、極力体を動かさず休んでおくように、また呼吸が浅くなるなどの症状が出たらすぐにクリニックに連絡するようアドバイスされた。

午後10:30予定通り、たった今注射を打った。ペンタイプでピュラゴン同様、簡単なものだった。

卵巣の薬への過剰反応による中断もやそれによる妊娠の可能性の低下も心配していただけに、いよいよ大事な次のプロセスに移れるのは最高に嬉しいニュース。

無事に手術を迎えられるように細心の注意を払ってこの二日、過ごそう。
