Just a quick one

Home from EC and lying on the sofa. Struggling to keep my eyes open now... all went well I think; 16 eggs collected - 14 mature (though I expected more with the huge number of follicles I had) but they seemed pleased. I have to go back for yet another scan tomorrow because of my OHSS risk. All being well transfer will be Saturday, maybe sooner but it's a wait and see.. I'm a bit crampy and my bum hurts lol, I think the pethadine may be wearing off now.. EC wasn't very nice and they did have to top up my meds but they said I did really well and hey, I survived!! 😊 Now on Estradiol patches and will start vaginal suppositories twice a day from tomorrow xx

Well done! You got through it and your one step closer 😊

For some reason EC is the part I'm dreading most. I was told I'd get a general anaesthetic so don't know if that means wakened or not.

Hope you get as much rest as you can xxx

You'll be out of it. Kinda wish I'd had that choice but recovery time is longer x
