Injectibles response

Hi,

So when I went in for the follicular study on 13th September, the doctor said I need to take the same injection GMH 150 Iu again, one on the same day which is 13th September & another on the 14th.
When I asked her the reason, she said the size of the follicle wasn't growing & I need more stimulation.

As I sat there waiting for the nurse to come & inject me, I had so many thoughts running in mind, what am I gonna do if these 2 injections don't work, what could be the next course of action, what if these procedure don't work. Everytime the doctor says the size isn't growing I feel so disheartened & think why on earth do I have to go through these things. I have always been so fond of kids & when my turn came, every month I used to be so excited to see the purple lines on the HPT kit.

I always think why can't God make it easier for me, why does he make me spend anxious moments & lot of money to get pregnant. Whenever I saw poor people with so many kids, I used to think God doesn't make them spend so much money to get pregnant.

So while I sat there, I spoke to two ladies, one who has been trying to conceive since 3 years & one since 5 years, when I heard about their long wait to get pregnant, I thought in just one year I'm so impatient to get pregnant, couldn't imagine how patiently these ladies have been trying.

So anyways I took the injection GMH 150 iu( the price of the injection is Rs.1450 INR) for two days & went for Follicular study on Saturday 15th September.

15th September: After the scan the doctor asked me to wait & in the meantime I saw her going to my Gyanec's cabin & coming out & then after sometime the doctor who scans me usually called me in her cabin & said I need to take the same injection, I became restless & asked her the reason for taking another & she said the follicle size increased but it hasn't reached the expected size so I need to take another one to stimulate it. I heaved a sigh of relief when I heard it did increase, instead of the words" No response" which I have been hearing for sometime. So I took another injection today & today's scan has boosted my confidence & I'm trying to have positive thoughts & have huge hopes that the scan on Monday 17th September is going to show positive response. So this is what has been happening, will update after Monday.

Updates so far & the wait

The last time I visited the doctor, this was suggested:
11th August 2012: Went in the morning & after the scan Dr.Hema asked me to meet Dr.Shashi.
                             Dr.Shashi said, since I have PCOS, the follicles haven't grown, The follicle size
                             should be 18-20mm but mine was only 8mm. She prescribed these for my 
                             next cycle.
                            (i) Metformin-500mg Twice a day with meals.
                            (ii) Folvite- 5mg daily once.
                            (iii) T-Duphaston 10mg starting from today,one tablet daily for 10 days.
                            (iv) Once I get my periods, from Day 2 to Day 6 ,T-Clome 50mg for 5
                                  days(Morning & Night).
                            (v) Injection GMH 150 Iu to be taken on Day 5th.
                            (vi) T-Tamox 10mg from Day 7 to Day 9th.
                            (vii) Day 8th should go for follicular study, if Day 8th turns out to be Sunday
                                   have to come on Day 9th.


Even after completing duphaston( ended  20th August)& waiting for a week I still didn't get my periods.

27th August 2012: I went to the hospital & told them about it, they asked me if I did a HPT(Home Pregnancy test) & when I said no, the receptionist said I could get a scan done to see if I'm pregnant( sounded weird to me! )
Anyways I agreed & paid Rs.280 Approx. & got the scan. The doctor who did the scan said that, I need to do a HPT & come back on 1st September even if I get or don't get periods.

Ist September 2012: Went & met Dr.Shashikala, who advised the same procedure as above for this cycle but this time Duphaston  should be taken for only 3 days.& looking at the scan done on 27th August she said the endometrium lining is Ok & I should be able to have periods in a few days.

4th September 2012: Had my periods.

8th September 2012(Day 5th ):  Took the injection GMH 150 Iu

11th September 2012( Day 8th) Went for follicular study, paid Rs.1760 for it. The Doctor who does the scan Dr.Hema Desai said the size of the follicle is still small & asked me to have Ecospirin 75mg one tablet daily for 10days along with Tamox( which is to be taken from day 7th to Day 9th). The next visit for follicular study would be 13th September.
