Ni Hao, Taipei!

Our flight was scheduled on a Sunday, July 20, which was Day 28. We had a morning schedule with Dr. Lee the following day but had to postpone it to Wednesday, July 23, which would be Day 3 of my period. The reason for the postponement is because I had to have my period when I see Dr. Lee and unfortunately, my period didn't arrive until Monday evening. I felt like we may have wasted 2 days in Taipei but it is what it is. 

Upon arriving in Mackay, I headed to Gabriel's desk and she asked me to go up to Dr. Lee's office. I was told to get an ultrasound first before my consultation, which I did. I have PCOS so seeing a few follicles was expected. 

Finally, it was my turn. Dr. Lee measured where my uterus was situated in preparation for the transfer and ovum pickup and explained that he was prescribing a medicine with 2 different ingredients to see how my ovaries would respond. He didn't want my ovaries to be over-stimulated, which is why I think I was given Pergoveris, instead of the usual Gonal-f or Menopur. They gave me a bunch of forms, which I took to Gabriel to pay, picked my injections, had my shots and I was done for the day. 

I have to go to Mackay everyday to have my shots but that's ok. :) I'm going back to Dr. Lee on Monday, July 28, to have another ultrasound and to see Dr. Lee again. Ovaries, please work with me. :)
