Blood is drawn from a vein, usually from the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand. The site is cleaned with germ-killing medicine (antiseptic). The health care provider wraps an elastic band around the upper arm to apply pressure to the area and make the vein swell with blood.

Next, the health care provider gently inserts a needle into the vein. The blood collects into an airtight vial or tube attached to the needle. The elastic band is removed from your arm.

Once the blood has been collected, the needle is removed, and the puncture site is covered to stop any bleeding.

This morning we went to my OBGyne's clinic for another check-up. I had my ultrasound. The follicle has grown in size but not big enough to be matured. Thus, my OBGyne prescribed to continue injecting 50IU of Puregon per day for two days. The clinic assistant administered my shot of Puregon.

This morning session with my doctor cost us P/ 5,600.

Since, I felt the on-set of another urinary tract infection, my doctor advised me to have my urinalysis which I oblige. Upon seeing my laboratory result which indicated I am having another high infection, she prescribed me Uritracin 400 mg tablet to be taken twice a day for 7 days.

By August 6 I will have another blood test of Estradiol.
