After we met Dr. Nalini Mahajan (Nova IVI
Fertility, New Delhi), my DH also felt the positivity in her approach.
We went ahead with our treatment with her.
In Oct’14, I had my OPU (Oocyte Pick-Up)
and 17 oocytes were retrieved. I was on Injection Menopur 450UI from CD6 and
OPU was done on CD13. But before the OPU, she had me change my hypertension medicines.
Earlier I was taking a combination of Tablet Newtel 40 and Newtel-H 40.
According to her, Telmisartian Hydroclorothazide was not pregnancy-friendly, so she changed my
medicines to Methyldopa 500 thrice a day.
Three days after OPU, a fresh ET was
done, which didn’t succeed. A failed fresh ET and 2 failed IUIs in the past were
enough for her to conduct a test on me called Endometrial Receptivity Array (ERA).
It is kind of a biopsy of the endometrium done under specific conditions, HRT
(P+5) to be precise and the procedure is carried out just like IUI. HRT (P+5) means Hormone
Replacement Therapy and P+5 means intake of Progesterone (Injections and/or
Capsules) +5 days.
The report took 10-15 days to be published and sent
back to the clinic. Thankfully, mine was Receptive. The preparation, procedure
and publishing of report happened during Dec’14 and Jan’15.
Seeing the ERA Report, Dr. Mahajan made
some changes in her plan for the next cycle.
