Successful EC not so great aftermath!

[Raglee]

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

I had 14 eggs on EC too. Don't be too disappointed if they don't all make it.. mine didn't. Good luck to you 🍀🍀🍀

[Raglee in reply to Tugsgirl]

Thanks ladies! Just got the call, you were right not all of them made it but I have 8 embryos ! Delighted , keeping everything crossed X

[Tugsgirl in reply to Raglee]

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

[Raglee in reply to Tugsgirl]

Oh wow that's fantastic , hope I'm as Lucky as you! Are u on your 2ww now? X

[Tugsgirl in reply to Raglee]

I'm 5dp 5dt x

[Raglee in reply to Tugsgirl]

Not entirely sure what that means ( really must brush up on these abbreviations ) but I wish you all the best X

[Tugsgirl in reply to Raglee]

It means I am 5 days past my embryo transfer with a 5 day transfer (blastocyst) x

I hope the next week and a bit flies for you X

[Tugsgirl in reply to Raglee]

Aww thank you. I'm dreading test day! Again good luck to you with your embies 🍀🍀 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
