Pre-FET(Frozen Embryo Transfer)
Today, I went down to CHR. Am happy to be able to see my gynae, Stephen Chew again :) He scanned me and mentioned that he has a hunch it will be a late bloomer.(???) And that he is going to Korea next week.
Which meant that he won't be around to do my FET :( . So sad.
Had a talk with the nurse, she explained that I got to come down on Monday for another scan.
Apparently, how it goes is. They need to do a scan of my uterus to see the size of my follicle. I asked a stupid question, "How many follicles are there, today?" "Oh, only 1 follicle for natural cycle. That time was a lot as you took medication to stimulate the hormones to produce more follicles, so we can collect more eggs"
See. I learnt a new thing.
Currently, my natural follicle is size 7. They need to wait it to be of size 15, that's when the egg is released from the follicle. But we don't need the egg, since we collected it previous round. What we need is the uterus lining and environment. The thicker the lining, the higher the chance for the embryo to stick to it and grow as a feotus :)
Ah ha! Understand. So amazing the fact on human creation!
So right now, I'm waiting for Monday. Hopefully it's ready. As I've prepared someone to cover me from 21st onwards so if I'm still coming to work, then that temp will not have anything to do.
Tsk.
