Egg collection on Wednesday!!!

[lorraineb61]

What a fast 9 days, absolutely convinced this morning before I went for scan that I wouldn't be ready for collection until the end of the week but have been told that I'll be in theatre on Wednesday!! Only 4 follicles found which is quite disheartening but I am 37 so can't expect to have loads and loads!! 9 days of stims only - can't believe it!!! Good luck to everyone on here at whatever stage of the journey you're on! X

Thank you x

[LauraGU]

Me too for Wed!! I've been bit of a slow grower so I was made up when they finally said I'm ready! Wishing you lots of luck xxx

[lorraineb61 in reply to LauraGU]

Thank you & good luck to you for Wednesday! X

[lorraineb61 in reply to LauraGU]

Hi Laura GU, how did you get on today? X

[LauraGU in reply to lorraineb61]

Hi Lorraine, it went ok thanks. They got 14 eggs so now just praying for a good fertilisation rate! Didn't find the actual process too bad and have just slept this afternoon. How did you get on? Xxx

[lorraineb61 in reply to LauraGU]

Process was fine - sedation was a bit sore! They got 3 eggs, knew it was going to be low - all of them are mature though so we're injected this afternoon. Fingers crossed the take it through the night! X

[LauraGU in reply to lorraineb61]

Yep the sedation was the worst part for me too. Well it's the quality that matters, especially given we would normally only produce one each month. Now to wait for the phone call. This is the bit I've been most nervous about- them saying none have fertilised or made it far enough. So out of our hands now so going to try and relax this evening. Will keep my fingers crossed for you xxx

hi Lorraine. Good luck for EC. Don't be disheartened though. I only had 4 (I'm 40), 3 fertilised and now I'm 6 wks pregnant 😊 Best wishesxx

[lorraineb61 in reply to louisear]

Congratulations - nice to hear good news x

Good luck for Wednesday. At least another 7 days of stims for me but hopefully I won't be far behind you so will be following with interest. 🤞

Hi lorraineb61. Just wanted to wish you well for Wednesday. Make sure you have a good rest afterwards and drink plenty of water. Thinking of you. Diane

Sometimes things go quicker than you feel! This cycle I could feel in my tummy that things were going faster than last, but even then at my last scan I only felt the same, or even a little less pumped, as the last scan last round. But, double the eggs so one just can't tell! Also, I got more eggs than follicles at my last scan so you might be in for a surprise. and even if not, plenty of people on here who've gone preggers with few eggs... quality is what counts most! Good luck, xx

[lorraineb61 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you - time actually went really quickly - you might surprise yourself! Good luck to you x

[lorraineb61]

So, collection has been - managed to get 3 eggs all of which were mature enough to be injected!! Overnight wait now to see how many have fertilised! Worst part of today was the sedation - took 3 attempts to get into a suitable vein!!

[Hidden in reply to lorraineb61]

Great news that all 3 were mature. Fingers crossed all 3 fertilise overnight too. X

[Hidden]

I was the same on my first cycle, its a bit of a shock as it goes so quickly.

Good luck for EC xx

[lorraineb61]

All 3 have fertilised - so happy!! Just need them to get to Monday now for transfer!! ❤

[Hidden in reply to lorraineb61]

Oh that's fabulous news. So pleased. Keeping everything crossed for you for Monday. X

[Lizzielizzielizzie in reply to lorraineb61]

That's really excellent news. I got three on my last cycle at 37 but only one fertilized. So I'm really happy for you xx
