Egg collection

Had egg collection today. Have 25 eggs which they are amazed about. Only issue is due to the fact that i have so many eggs and ohss they are freezing all embryos. Has anyone else had to do this and if so how long do I have to wait?

Hi!

Thats amazing that you got so many eggs. I had my egg collection on 21st August and got ohss so had to freeze all. I just had to wait for a period and then started buserlin injections on day 21 of the next cycle. We are now looking at a transfer beginning of November, it sounds so far away! 😣 best of luck! X

Thanks Laura. Best of luck. How was your ohss and when did it all really kick in?

Hi Shannon,

It was quite bad and was pretty much instant after my egg collection. I had some fluid around my ovaries and I just felt so ill, I was in pain and so bloated too. But after about a week after stopping all the medication I felt so much better and my period followed not long after that! How are you feeling? X

I had 28 eggs collected in August and had to freeze everything... Had a period, followed by a review appointment at the clinic. Am now due to start my fet cycle on day 21 of the next period (2nd after ec) and will do my first buserelin injection on Thursday next week... et should hopefully be in early November!

I have a review appointment on 31st October. Don't even know when to expect a period. My only concern is I don't ovulate on my own and dont have periods. No-one has told me what to do?

You will get a period as your lining has been artificially thickened, but I wouldn't know when that would be!

This is what happened to me on Thursday. I was told I will get a call from the embryologist today & will have to have a period before I go back to give my body chance to recover. Maybe give to the clinic a call on Monday to discuss things x

Have you stopped all drugs now? If so then a period should follow within a couple of weeks... my review appointment was booked the day of my ec so not dependent on my cycle. I had had a bleed about 2-3 weeks before I went back for my review and arranged to phone up on day 1 of my next period to book in to start a frozen embryo on day 21... they didn't explain a lot to me at the time of my ec (or I felt so crap that i didn't take it all in) so I rang the clinic and asked to speak to one of the nurses who explained everything a bit better - could you give your clinic a call? I would think you should get calls over the next few days from the ebryogists so maybe ask them if they can put you through to nurses? Good luck, and I hope that you feel back to normal soon! x
