Did my baseline scan on CD 3 ... AFC (antral follicle count) right side 6, left side 8 ... with a cyst on the right side .. something that was never seen before but since prof didn't say anything, other than commenting that there as no previous sighting of a cyst, i guess it's just a normal cyst that would go away
On Gonal-F 150 IU for these few days, till my next scan on 29th June
Surprisingly period is significantly lighter than normal despite the lengthening of the cycle. Physician Kuai said it could be due to duphaston. But also commented that it was a little out of ordinary.

IVF - the start
Today marks the start of my IVF cycle. CD 18 of current cycle. Start to take duphaston 10 mg, twice a day, for 18 days.
Was initially 10 days of the med. But because I have examinations in early July and to meet Prof Wong's schedule, he decided that I'll take the med for 18 days. And my stims are scheduled to start 26th June.

IVF seminar by Prof PC Wong
Attended the IVF seminar conducted by Prof Wong on 30th May.
DH and I noticed that almost all present appeared young-ish (20s, 30s) and looked healthy! No weight issues, good looking also. Made us wonder what is happening to young Singaporeans and their fertility.
It was very informative and I'm glad we attended the science seminar. Something which all teaching reproductive system should attend.
Some things which I remember from the seminar ...
- Strictly no exercise, including yoga during the 2WW
- Rest, but not bed rest
- Not necessary to have high protein diet. That is for women who are down with OHSS, as they suffer a loss of protein. Otherwise a balanced diet is sufficient.
- Prof Wong does not recommend supplements which have not been well researched on ... example DHEA, royal jelly .. He said he wonders why people would read on the forum or websites and believe other people and start popping stuff into their mouths without knowing what they are
- TCM is fine, can complement, but he doesn't recommend the continuation of medicine once the injections start

Anyway I strongly recommend anyone who is thinking of, or planning to embark on ivf journey to attend this seminar, which is organized every 5-6 weeks according to prof.
