Egg collection done

We got two eggs during egg collection from 3 follicles. Apparently they were good eggs. I'm not even sure what that means.

It only takes one. It only takes one.

Fingers crossed.

Did people go back to work the next day?

Great news, well done! Good eggs is a good sign and you only need one so fingers crossed for tomorrow!

I had a few days off for EC both times just to recover and get some head space. I think it's important and allows you some time to breathe. You may need it too if a bit sore, drink lots of water! Xx

Thanks. I feel ok. Not as groggy and not really that sore. So that's good.

Just need 1 :) xx

We only got three eggs but like you said, you only need one! I was off for the rest of the week because I ended up having a two day transfer so it two days after egg collection and then I was off work for another two days. Good luck xx

I hope you get a good fertilisation rate. If you had general anaesthetic you should take tomorrow off to recover. You'll know whether you need more time off.
