Work Up on the Go

Operation Egg and Sperm Cell Together as One

After so many stressful and depressing days, AF showed early as expected last March 8, 2013, a Friday. Thank God, AF was not delayed and came in time for my follow-up check-up with OB before the week days ended.

OB scheduled my Hysterosalpingography (HSG) on March 8, 2013, on my CD8 plus she gave me 3 kinds of fertility drugs to induce ovulation and thickening of my endometrium lining. OB RE prescribed me (1) ova-mit; (2) decilone; and (3) premarin.

Ova-mit

Ova-mit 50 mg is a brand of clomiphene citrate (clomid) that is being used mainly in female infertility to induce ovulation. In my case, with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), I do not really ovulate on my own unless I take this drug. OB RE prescribed me to take the drug 3 times a day for 5 days starting on March 9 to 13, 2013.

Decilone

Decilone 4 mg was given to me by OB to help enhance the effect of ova-mit unto my follicles. OB aims that I produce not only 1 dominant follicle but more, thus, the ova-mit and decilone together. OB RE told me to take 1/4 of the 1 tablet once a day for 8 days from March 12 to March 19, 2013.

Premarin

Premarin is a form of hormone replacement therapy which consists primarily of conjugated estrogens. OB gave me this fertility drug to aid in the thickening of my endometrium lining so that when my egg cell and DHs sperm cell comes together implantation will most likely to happen and eventually result to pregnancy. OB RE required me to take the drug 2 times a day for 20 days beginning March 15 to April 3, 2013.

So many in my to-do-list, all for the sake of having a baby. Hoping and praying that my reproductive organ will respond to all the medicines OB has prescribed on me. I will be having my transvaginal ultrasound on March 22, 2013 to check on my follicles. Thy will be done Oh Lord, according to Your will.

In my heart, I have always prayed for a loving husband and a precious child to complete not only my whole being but a family I have always dream since my younger years.
