CD 15 Tuesday

Saw LA in the morning at 10am, surprisingly didn't ahve to wait long as i was the 1st appt of the day.

He did a scan and said the largest follicle he could see is only 6mm, which is not good news as they need to be like 18mm and above to mature.

i asked him about puregon and he said that could not help in my case. after suggesting metformin and ovarian drilling, he suggested that i see a sinseh instead, that really put me off him. he has not even exhausted the medical means, and yet he already want to give up.

i headed off to paragon. spent half an hr walking about paragon since i was too early.

reached the clinic at 11.30, in the end got to wait while he sees another patient. the waiting area is so spacious compared to LA, no longer that claustrophobic feeling. the recep is so friendly and professional. that really sounds like a good start.

FY himself is rather well aloof...he doesn't seem as approachable as LA. and perhaps because i'm nervous and stressed as well, the exchanges were kinda awkward.

in the end, he did another scan, and found that both ovaries are PCOS, the womb/lining is fine. He printed the scans for me to keep. He said the largest follicle he sees is about 8mm and since it's already CD15, it's unlikely this cycle will work, hence this cycle is shot as well.

He gave me med to induce AF to be taken 14 days later after testing with HPT. He also prescibed clomid at the max dose which is 4 tabs per day.

If this time, it doesn't work, then it's going to be a huge problem
