2nd scan done - EC on Wednesday!

Hi Ladies! Just got back from my second scan and they're happy with everything and want to proceed with egg collection this Wednesday.

I didn't take an accurate note of the follicles this time round as it would only increase my googling/obsessing! But there were 5 that were between 18-23 (ish) and around 5 at 14 which I am really hoping will grow by Wednesday. Then around 5 between 10-13 (not expecting much from those!) and 5<10 which will be a write off. The follicles are apparently a nice shape (?!) and my lining is 8.9. Feeling positive all in all that we should get some good quality eggs even if not as many as I was hoping for initially.

Weird to think that in 3 weeks time we'll definitely know whether this has worked or not! eek!

Hi Strawb86. Well all is looking good for quite a few eggs on Wednesday. Have a good rest after collection, and I hope that many of them fertilise. All getting exciting now, anxious too I'm sure, but we're all supporting you. Thinking of you. Diane
