Nor-E is an oral medication that you start taking once your period reports. You can opt to pre-collect this medicine or collect it when your period starts. I opted for the latter in case I misplace the med. Do give the IVF clinic a call just to let them know that you are starting the Nor-E. After 21 days of Nor-E, you just wait for your period to report again.
7 Jan 2014 Stage 1b - Period reports
Give the IVF clinic a call once full flow is here. They will ask you to come down to collect the Lucrin jab medication on Day 21 after your period. Hubby will have to accompany you for this visit as both are needed for a blood test.
28 Jan 2014 Stage 2 - Starting on Lucrin jabs (10units)
You will be given one month's supply of Lucrin. Lucrin jabs are self-administered every morning for 16 days and then you visit the IVF clinic for a blood test and scan. During the 16 days of injections, your period should have reported.
13 Feb 2014 Stage 3a - Adding Puregon jab (200units) and Saizen jab (5units)
Period reported on 13 Feb 2014, the day of my appointment at the IVF clinic. I collected a week's supply on Lucrin, Puregon and Saizen, which are to be self-administered every morning. Next visit is on 20 Feb 2014 for a scan to assess the growth of the follicles.
Starting to feel bloating, nausea, cramps, achy bones, occasional bouts of gastric from 19 Feb 2014 onwards.
Follicles are growing well on 20 Feb 2014 and told to come back the next day for a scan. Continued Lucrin jabs until 22 Feb 2014 while Puregon and Saizen ended on 21 Feb 2014. Trigger shot was given on 22 Feb 2014.
24 Feb 2014 Stage 4 - Egg retrieval
A total of 35 eggs were retrieved. Immediately given 8 days of Dostinex to prepare for oncoming OHSS.
