Successful EC not so great aftermath!

Hey ladies. I was on my way home from my EC yesterday thinking I must put a post on here for girls nervous about it to say there is nothing to worry about. It was so straight forward. Was sedated so awake for all of it and was slightly nippy only slightly but all very managable.

Myself and my husband had a two hour journey home but we had to call an ambulance as I became very ill. Been admitted to hospital and feeling so much better. They were worried it was OHSS but think it was more just a reaction to meds I took. Has this happened anyone else??

On the plus side feeling so much better and they collected 14 eggs from 18 follicles. So just waiting for the call now to see if the magic has happened in the incubater! X

Thanks so much Fatooli28, just so delighted about the EC that feeling rubbish doesn't really seem that bad! Hope everything goes well for you too ☘☘☘

I had 8 too! By ET I had one top grade blastocyst transferred, another 3 frozen and another frozen two days later, so all together 4 frosties 1 transferred and 3 more didn't make it X

Hi Raglee. Oh dear! Not a very nice experience for you. Well done with the egg collection, and keeping everything crossed for fertilisation. Make sure you drink plenty of water and have a rest when you can. Thinking of you. Diane
