EC done. 46 eggs and hospitalisation

[Llama1]

Well this has been an interesting 24 hours! Egg collection yesterday resulted in a whopping 46 eggs from over 60 follicles.

Acute pain afterwards from the swelling. Loads of morphine. Not fun!

Onto the hospital (in an ambulance - very exciting!) who did some checks then discharged me. Finally got home at 10pm and was soooo looking forward to bed when my breathing felt tight and I started shaking uncontrollably. It would have been funny if it wasn't quite so scary!

Mr Llama phoned the out of hours nurse who told us we needed to get straight to A&E. I've never got through A&E so fast! Drips, catheters and monitoring through the night.

It looks like I either have OHSS or it was just the trauma from vast egg retrieval.

Still in hospital now waiting for blood test results. Hoping to get home at some point today!

So incredible grateful to all the amazing nurses who've been looking after me. Thank god for the NHS ♡

[Fredaflintstone]

That all sounds quite scary but hopefully you will have a good amount of fertilisation to make it all worth it xxx

[Llama1 in reply to Fredaflintstone]

Thank you! x

[Hidden]

Holy moly!!!! 46 eggs I'm lucky to get 4!! However it sounds like you've absolutely gone through the mill to get them!! I hope you feel much brighter very soon xxxx

[Llama1]

Thank you! xx

[Magc27]

I had 21 eggs collected and that was painful, cannot imagine what you going thru but wow that's amazing 46 eggs. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

[Llama1 in reply to Magc27]

Thank you Magc27! Was your belly swollen for a while afterwards? x

[Magc27 in reply to Llama1]

Yes it was swollen, couldn't zip my trousers, and I did get pain some times specially when I lifted something or walked. The swelling did go away after my period. Did the give you some painkillers to take home? cx

[Llama1 in reply to Magc27]

Yes they did give me painkillers. Relieved to hear it'll pass, hopefully before too long : ) x

[kc21]

Wow that is the most I've heard here ! Surprised they didn't keep you in as I would say u defo have ohss with that many ! Hope you feel better ! Lots of rest and water and milk !

[Llama1 in reply to kc21]

Thank you! I'm definitely indulging in a lot of lying down. Keeping a check on my fluids too. Is milk supposed to help? x

[Tugsgirl]

Hope you're now home and if not that you will be soon xx

[Llama1 in reply to Tugsgirl]

Thank you! Very happy to be back home and resting now xx

[Rosalietea]

Hope you're feeling better. That is a hell of a lot of eggs! Hope they're are lots and lots of good ones that you can use/freeze so you don't have to go through it again! Good Luck x

[Llama1 in reply to Rosalietea]

Thank you! I hope so too. Not so keen on going through that again! x

[Scarlett13]

Hopefully the pain will all be worth it when you find out more about your huge egg collection! What is considered a good or average amount?! X

[Llama1 in reply to Scarlett13]

Thank you! I think the aim is to collect a maximum of 15 eggs. My ovaries clearly just got a bit over excited! x

[Tw1986]

Oh no hope you get well soon what a traumatic time you've had! xx

[Llama1 in reply to Tw1986]

Thank you xxx

[Hidden]

[Llama1 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you Lawmom! xx

[Fatooli28]

Wow hope now settled and better! 🦄🌈✨✨✨✨✨🤗🤗🤗

[Llama1 in reply to Fatooli28]

Definitely on the mend, thank you! xx

[emma-jane-30]

Blimey oh Rilley!!! 46 eggs that's an impressive amount. Understandably with that amount you would be very swollen, and in pain so I really hope you make a speedy recovery and you feel better really soon, lots of bed rest and chill time for you lovely.

Can't wait to hear how many fertilise. Good luck Hun xxx

[Llama1 in reply to emma-jane-30]

Thank you Jane! Spending a LOT of time on the sofa : )

27 fertilised. 9 or so are looking ok on day 3. Really hope some make it to day 5 and survive the freeze. Not sure I can go through that again!

Hope you're doing well xxx

[emma-jane-30 in reply to Llama1]

Oh wow!! That's amazing and I hope your little strong ones make it to freeze for you, I take it that they are letting your body de swell before putting them bk in?

Yes I'm doing ok thank you living this sunshine xxx

[Llama1 in reply to emma-jane-30]

Lovely sunshine isn't it : )

Yes, it'll be a freeze all to give my ovaries a month or two to reduce to normal size! xx

[emma-jane-30 in reply to Llama1]

Yeah that's what they were going to do with me but went ahead with day3 transfer anyway which I was annoyed at, as I would have liked my body to have a chance to recover but never mind.

Well I hope you feel better really soon Hun xxx

[Llama1 in reply to emma-jane-30]

Sorry to hear you were rushed into doing the transfer. That's rubbish. There seems to be growing evidence that waiting and letting the body recover is much better, but I guess freezing and thawing is always a risk x

[emma-jane-30 in reply to Llama1]

Yeah they wanted to put mine straight bk in to there natural environment as they weren't strong enough to freeze, so they had to put they straight bk in! Never mind. Xxx

[Llama1 in reply to emma-jane-30]

Fingers crossed for your next round. Or, even better, a natural pregnancy. It's all possible! xx

[emma-jane-30 in reply to Llama1]

Well I'm still praying it will be natural but we shall see lol xxx
