Egg collection day

11 Replies

Hi, I can't believe we've come this far but I'm just home from EC. This is our 1st IVF and we got 3 eggs. Less than I'd hoped for but you only need 1 as I keep hearing. Don't know how I'm going to get through the next 24 hours to see if any have become embryos

Ah well done. I'm pleased because I would've been gutted if they didn't manage to get any. Good luck to you x

Fingers crossed for a good fertilisation rate. The waiting for the call is rather nerve wracking but your embryologist will be looking after them for you.

Good luck.

Hi everyone. I've had the call from the embryologist. 2 of my eggs were just shells, they said this isn't unusual BUT my 1 remaining egg has fertilised!! I'm so happy and I just hope the next stage is successful. I hope your all having positive news x

I've been through this last week, exactly last Friday and I had only 4 eggs and I was so worried will they all get fertilized? I kept telling myself i only need one but at the same time I was still scared, I had a phone call next day to say one managed to get fertilized normally and the rest didn't make it, but the grade for that embryo was grade 2 which is good, I was still very worried cuz I only have that one chance as there is no more embryos left, on monday which is three days later I had my ET and I just thought this is it what ever is going to happen will happen and i shouldn't stress much, today I couldn't resist but to test although its way too early, I'm only 4 days post ET, i had strong nausea all the times, and bit of brown discharge next day of ET which i though must be from the transfer, but guess what I got a faint positive cross, so hopefully this will get darker and darker closer to the time, so don't worry the bottom line we only need one and dont care about what happens to the rest, hopefully that one will be the one, so good luck sweet and keep us updated..
