What a day!!

β€’24 Replies

Well we went in for EC today, procedure itself was fine no probs, slept threw the lot and felt OK afterwards. They only managed to get two eggs (bit gutted but feeling positive 2 is better than none) husband did fresh sperm sample then they came and told us his sperm count was lower than expected so they changed us to Icis as they think this will give us a better chance.

Was initially shocked but once they explained it made more sense, still feeling positive, fingers crossed they told us if they called today before 4pm it was game over and they hadn't managed to successfully inject the sperm into the eggs and if we didn't hear from them it was all good. Well we have had no call so must be still in the race just got to wait til tomorrow now to see if they fertilise over night πŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌ

Sound like a little bit of extra drama you weren't expecting! Hope all goes well and both fertilise properly and grow.
