EC on Tuesday

[strong-girl]

Hi guys

i had my scan today and was told i have many follicles so there is a risk of OHSS. My EC is scheduled for Tuesday and now i feel worried ;(.

hopefully all will be well

Is there anything i can do or look out for?

I am trying to stay positive, happy and calm though i hate needles and feel really tired. This whole cycle has been a blur and i done even know what to think.

sending lots of love to you all xx

On my first round of ivf I developed OHSS after the egg retrieval. There were 14 eggs collected so not a huge number. I felt so ill when I went for my fresh transfer that it was cancelled and 3 embryos were frozen. My stomach was really bloated and I hurt all over. I was very disappointed but if they do go ahead and you get pregnant the OHSS gets worse and is almost life threatening. 5 months later I had a FET and have a beautiful 2 year old. So although disappointing if the fresh transfer is cancelled as long as they can freeze some embryos you will have other chances. Good luck x

Hi, I was told the same thing. Please don't worry.

They were able to collect 9 eggs from me and three made it to blastocysts.

I had a fresh transfer that time round and looking back, I wished I let them freeze it. I had so much going on with bloating etc and my lining but they left the choice to freeze or not to me.

It was a BFN for me. I don't share this to scare you but if you have the choice, maybe consider freezing so your body can get can get back to normal.
