Round 2 egg collection tomorrow, hope I'm not wide awake in pain like last time...

[Scarlett13]

Hi everyone

It's a lovely sunny Sunday. No injections today! Egg collection tomorrow. Feeling apprehensive as last time I was wide awake and in pain despite the sedation. Also just feeling a bit anxious about the whole thing as I know what is coming over the next week - the amount of eggs, how many fertilised, how they progress, getting to transfer..I had 4 day 6 embryos discarded last time the day after transfer as they were too slow to freeze and not good enough quality. Hoping for some stronger ones this time. It's my last NHS funded round. Very nervous about my boyfriend giving me the huge inter muscular progesterone injections into my bum from tomorrow too!!! But also letting a bit of hope and excitement build up just incase this round might work?! Just can't imagine it after more than 4 years of trying x

Hey Scarlett13! Oh i feel ur pain! I too had a hideous EC, wide awake and in agony. However majority of people seem to doze off or feel uncomfortable but only for a short time. Can you ask for amaestetic to put u under? I was going to ask for it next time? I also seen on here a cream that was recommended for them big injections by Diane. I'll scan through the posts and try and find the name for u. Best of luck with it all! Xx

[TTCs in reply to TTCs]

Oops, just realised it was ur post that Diane had given the advice to, so you'll be well informed about the lignocaine gel. Lol. Oops xx

[Scarlett13 in reply to TTCs]

Yes it was me - got the cream, hope it helps!!! I'm not allowed general anaesthetic as the clinic is not a hospital but I'm hoping they can up my sedation!!! How are you doing? X

[TTCs in reply to Scarlett13]

Yes hopefully it does the job! Im sure if they know how painful u found the last one they will have to change something. We must be immune lol. I'm ok thank, jus recovering from our BFN this weekend xz

[Scarlett13 in reply to TTCs]

It’s too my egg collection tomorrow. This is my first cycle. I am however having to have mine frozen due to over stimulation of follicles, felt rubbish about it Friday when I found out but not so bad now as lots advice on here says maybe good for my body. I’m a little nervous with what to expect too. Really hope yours goes well tomorrow and is better than the first experience xx

[Scarlett13 in reply to 87Ballerina]

Good luck, most people sleep through it so don't worry! Xxx

[Scarlett13 in reply to 87Ballerina]

I too have a lot of follicles and a high AMH but I've not over stimulated yet so hopefully you'll be ok x

[Tugsgirl]

Sounds like my first (and only) EC. I’ve read so many women on here who drifted off and don’t remember a thing. Was beginning to think I was an exception to the rule lol. Wishing you much better luck for tomorrow 🤞 xx

[Se99]

Wish you lots of luck for tomorrow, I hope ec goes better than last time. Looking forward to your updates on eggs x

[Cinderella5]

Oh I hope not too, that sounds horrendous! I would have a word with the person giving the sedation and explain how awful it was last time....hopefully they can give you a stronger dose. I didn't feel or remember a thing and I think that's the way it should be. Wishing you luck!xx

Wishing you a pain free ec tomorrow 🤞 I had mine back in July last year, but luckily don’t remember a thing! Hoping that you have the same experience as me 💕 xx

[Caroliono4]

Hoping it all goes well for you tomorrow and is not as painful a last time. I've never had to go under GA or sedation so I'm quite nervous. X

[abcgirl]

Good luck!! I’m In Round 2 as well. Hope this time is better for you

[Sienna2]

Good luck Scarlett, hope this round is better for you xx

[Dunla]

Hi Scarlett, it is such an anxious time with so many hurdles to overcome in the coming days. Wishing you lots of luck for a smooth, pain free and successful egg collection tomorrow xx

[lauren3189]

good luck xx

[Tugsgirl]

How did you get on? xx

[Scarlett13 in reply to Tugsgirl]

Hello! Just got home. Thanks for asking. I was still awake and it was still quite painful but not as bad as first time - but my recovery was worse as I'd be pumped with more drugs - so felt nauseous and sweaty and so sleepy and had to be put on a drip for 2 hours but fine now on the sofa having lunch. 10 eggs collected and normal sperm xxx

[Tugsgirl in reply to Scarlett13]

Ah I’m sorry to hear you still didn’t have an easy time of it. Makes me glad that whatever happens I’ll likely only be doing it once lol. Glad to hear you’re feeling much better now though and well done on those numbers! That’s great xx

[Scarlett13 in reply to Tugsgirl]

Thank you xx

[TTCs in reply to Scarlett13]

Ah u poor thing! Why do some of us have painful EC whilst majority dont, its strange!! Well done for making it though!! So glad u got 10 eggs that's fantastic!! Xx
