Hello everyone my Egg collection day was yesterday and they retrieved 11 eggs 😃..... Waiting on the phone call this morning to let me know how many have fertilised I'm so nervous. The procedure was great didn't feel a think .... It was just a light sedation but I don't remember anything at all haha and not to much discomfort afterwards didn't need any painkillers anyway so all good :) xx

Hi, looks like we are exactly the same! Egg collection yesterday went so much better than I had thought just like you I woke up and couldn't believe it was all over. I'm a little tender today but nothing bad. We also got 11 eggs just anxiously waiting to hear how many if any fertilised today! Fingers crossed for both of us, let me know how it all goes this week - thinking of you xx

Scan was fine, everything is as it should be, they could see 8 10mm follicles yesterday. More scans tomorrow and Friday and egg collection on Monday.

Good news about fertilisation rates. Thinking of you and wishing you the best of luck.

That's fab news! I have to call after 11 but my we heart is beating just like you I think I was so concentrated in getting through the injections n op that I forget that this is probably the toughest part as it's back to the waiting game again! A week or hurdles! Do you know if it will be a day 3 or 5 yet or do you need to call each day? X
