Egg collection tomorrow... Very nervous.

My egg collection was brought forward by two days as responded well to Gonal F. I know it's something that the clinic has done countless times and many women have been through it but I KNOW I am going to get upset because I have such a low pain threshold and husband will be 'next door' providing a sample. I get so worked up over things like this.

Had Ovitrelle (trigger injection) at 10pm last night which means no more injections (!). Made me have a sneezing fit though which was a bit weird.

The positive is that my work have supported me and are giving me less physical tasks and keeping me tucked away behind the scenes with some little projects.

Anyway... I'm sure I'll be back on here before tomorrow morning and I will let you know how it goes.

Hope everything went well for you. Remember to drink plenty of water afterwards as you have produced quite a lot of follicles and will take a while for swelling of ovaries to go down as they've been through a lot, you might find it a little uncomfortable afterwards as I did but remember to only take paracetamol for any pain and after embryo transfer don't use a hot water bottle.

I hope you got lots of nice eggs and good luck for the fertilisation stage now, keeping fingers crossed for lots of lovely embryos for you. Won't be long until your transfer now!! good luck :) xx

You'll be fine! This country uses a lot of anaesthetics! It hurt more to put the IV in! And only mildly achy after. I was quite happy to go for a walk up and down the beach after.

Well that was a strange experience... All done and home again. We got 9 eggs from my 32 follicles. Feel shattered and somewhat fragile but feel proud I survived. Drugs worked very quickly but felt discomfort so was given gas and air. Was so glad to have it over and done with.

I'm exhausted though.... Looking forward to my duvet day with movies and snuggles with hubby. We've also been to waitrose and bought some yummy snacks to see us through the afternoon and evening :-)

Thank you... I've had a really restful afternoon but still quite uncomfortable. Enjoying being pampered by my husband :-)

I'm hoping to get a good result but remaining realistic.

Clinic called this morning and told me all 9 eggs fertilised. Was so happy. They're going to call me tomorrow with progress but they're aiming for blastocyst for transfer Monday. I've taken today off work as well though as still feeling uncomfortable but not sore. I've slept so much tater the drugs so feel quite rested and not so fragile. I'm going to work tomorrow but then have the whole weekend off to be rested ready for Monday...
