Embryologist just called...

So to all you lovely ladies that sent good wishes and put my mind at ease about the egg collection this week, I can't thank you enough! You were my back bone ❤️

I had light sedation but can't remember a thing, OH couldn't come in, but he was there as I went down and waiting when I come around... anyone that has one coming up, you'll be fine- you can do this!!

At the beginning of the week we were told that those little follicles weren't growing quite as they'd hoped so we began to think the worst.. but the extra injections given obviously made a big difference as the nurses have now said that my ovaries are swollen and tender due to so much growth 🙈

We had 24 eggs collected, 14 of those have fertilised 💃🏼😁 We are over the moon!! I am honestly on cloud 9 right now, and enjoying the moment before the next stages of knowing if they've grown enough for the next stage kicks in... I'm entitled to do a little victory dance, right!? ☺️

Again, thankyou to everyone that wished me well and gave advise... I'm now spending the day in bed watching rubbish tv with lots of ice pops 😆

I have mixed emotions about it- if you'd asked me before I'd have said 100% I want to fall asleep, but now I wonder what it would have been like to have watched the screen... we're never happy are we 🙈lol

Thankyou, we are really happy and feeling positive 🤞🏼🤞🏼

How are you doing?x
