Last Friday, 22 March 2013, we went to MMC for my follicle monitoring (FM) and for a follow-up check up. MMC really is expensive in everything, huh, the cost of their transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) is at P2,130.00. Outside MMC, especially in our place at Laguna will cost only at P900.00-P1,500.00 but anyway what is important is the good result of my FM.

Expensive really but DH and I are super happy with the result of my TVS. OB, too, is happy with the outcome of my TVS. I have produce 5 dominant follicles at CD15 as shown on my TVS result below. One of them, measuring 2.8 x 2.0 cm, is bursting anytime soon and the other four are still growing. She told us that because of my body responding with the ova-mit, I will no longer have to be injected with a higher dosage of an ovulation fertility drug. We can push through with our IUI just by ova-mit, decilone, premarin plus the pregnyl shot (to help in the releasing of my egg). OB opted not to give me a prescription of the pregnyl shot this cycle because according to her my follicles did not grow up simultaneously and giving me a shot this cycle will stop my 4 other dominant follicles from growing and releasing an egg. Thus, what we need this cycle is a good timing and prayers that will conceive naturally.

OB gave us the usual timed baby dance this holy week. A baby dance on a holy week, yay, but according to OB, it is a must. She also gave me a prescription of the duphaston for 12 days starting from 26 March to 6 April 2013. My first time to take it for 12 days. Below is our expenses on the fertility drugs I have taken this cycle:
- Ova-mit (3x a day for 5 days - P100.00 x 15) - P1,500.00
- Decilone (1/4 tab a day for 8 days - P25.25 x 2)- 50.50
- Premarin (2x a day for 20 days - P33.25 x 40) - 1,330.00
- Duphaston (1x a day for 12 days - P58.75 x 12)- 705.00
- TOTAL - P3,585.50
I have an additional antibiotic which was given to me by OB on and after my HSG procedure to avoid infection. The name of which is Klindex to be taken 3x a day for 15 days. The cost per cap is P56.75 and a total of P851.25 for the 15 tablets.
With the result of my Hysterogram and follicle monitoring this cycle, DH and I are in high hopes that I'll get pregnant anytime soon this year. We are earnestly praying to Father God that our time to conceive and be bless with our first child is coming. To God be all the glory and let His will be done.

Hi! My name is Lenggai and I just came across your blog. I find your story very interesting and you surely caught my attention since there seldom would it be that a Filipina would openly talk about her infertility journey. You're such one brave woman and I admire you for that. I hope that you'll soon be blessed with that bundle of joy that we've been longing for. Good luck and baby dusts!
Hi Lenggai, thank you for taking time to read on my blog. Happy to meet another Filipina who is on the same boat like mine. We have a Girl Talk Forum in the Philippines where I get to talk and exchange ideas with other Filipinas who are on TTC. I made this blog not to vent out only my feelings on this heartbreaking journey to TTC but for my future child to know how we have struggled and waited for him/her. Good luck too on your TTC. I pray that you too will be blessed with a child in God's most precious perfect time. God bless and baby dust.
I just signed up with GT but I haven't posted or replied to any of the posts yet. Will try to spend more time with GT once I free myself from all these workloads.
Btw, I love your blog's new look. God bless!
