Egg collection morning

[SeniorPhipps]

So egg collection day has finally arrived, feel surprisingly calm about the procedure but incredibly anxious about all the hurdles after this step. Keeping telling myself to take one day at a time but my mind doesn't want to listen 😝 One less hurdle after today though xx

Good luck. This was one of the hardest hurdles for me with the height of all the drugs and under pressure for those eggs. X

[SeniorPhipps in reply to emmab178]

Thanks EmmaB. The pressure is awful isn't it? My poor OH is feeling it as well as his swimmers haven't been the best. My biggest struggle is not feeling in control so we're going to try to distract ourselves as best we can until we get the call tomorrow to tell us how many of the 7 collected were fertilised.

How are you doing? It is your scan next week isn't it? Fingers crossed all is well for you xx

[emmab178 in reply to SeniorPhipps]

Yes definitely the pressures on for both sides at this point. Are you having icsi?

The GP tests said my oh swimmers were fine but the clinic retested and said they weren't so we had icsi.

7 is a great number. Now they are being looked after you can have a glass of wine and chill a bit. I painted my garden fences lol.

Yes the scans on Wednesday, think it's a bit early due to the bank holidays but will be good to get another hurdle done x

[SeniorPhipps in reply to emmab178]

Yep we're having ICSI, we were glad to know this from the outset so we could read all about it but my OH has struggled a little with feeling guilty. It has brought us closer together though thankfully.

I'm eyeing up the garden already - always good therapy 🙂

Have you been having pregnancy symptoms since your BFP? I can imagine you have a rollercoaster of emotions at the moment xx

[emmab178 in reply to SeniorPhipps]

Cramping, moods and I want to eat all the cheese and carbs I can get my hands on. Also still incredibly hot which is nice because usually I'm freezing lol.

Not sure what's pregnancy and what is the progesterone

[SeniorPhipps]

All sounds promising. Will keep my fingers crossed for you xx
