EC this morning...

[Blondie_81]

Hi ladies, just a quick update to say my egg collection went well this morning - felt surprisingly relaxed. Out of 14 follicles they got 11 eggs!! And considering in our last 2 cycles they only got 1 and 4 respectively this was brilliant news for us and more than we could have hoped for. Praying for them to be healthy and mature and for a good number to fertilise. Come on sperm - do your job!!! 😊🤞🏻🍀 xx

Wow that's great! What does egg collection involve? Is it through your abdomen or done vaginally?! How do they get to the eggs? X

[Blondie_81 in reply to Scarlett13]

Hi, it's where they go into the ovaries after an internal scan with a needle to drain the fluid from each follicle within the ovary to collect the eggs. It's done vaginally but they give you something to relax you and a strong sedative but you're usually awake the whole time and they talk to you however it's all bit hazy afterwards and you feel a bit drunk and so they wheel you out and let you sleep for a bit. Then they give you tea and toast as you have to be nil by mouth for the procedure. It sounds scary but it's ok x dr google will provide you with a better answer than me though!
