Egg Collection

[Squeak2]

EC all done and I can’t help feel sore and disappointed. I know I’m being silly but I got lucky with 17 the first time and today’s collection I had 7. I’m just scared they don’t make the grade for fertilisation as we lost quite a few last time as they just weren’t good enough! Sorry to be blue as I’m usually more upbeat! xx

It’s really tough to keep being positive all the time, especially when this journey is so crappy...but 7 is a great number and it’s always quality over quantity.

I hope you are having cuddles on the sofa, treating yourself to something nice and watching tv.

Sending lots of positive thoughts xx

Glad everything went well and please don’t worry I’m sure everything will be fine. On my EC they only got 9 eggs but it ended up to blastocysts. Rest and drink plenty water. Good luck on your ET 🤞🏻xx

Thanks ladies! I’m just so very sore which isn’t helping my mood 😞 I’ve got my hot water bottle and drinking water as well as had co-codamol ! Hopefully I shall feel a little better in a while 🤞 xx

It’s not about quantity it’s about quality. I had 15 eggs, 9 fertilised but only one average one made it. All you need is one so keep positive xx

Still a great number 👏🏽 Well done you! Hope you put your feet up and rested for the rest of the day. Sending lots of positive vibes to the lucky 9 eggies xx

Good luck squeak. 7 is great but I can understand your apprehension, safety in numbers and all that, but it's all about quality. Get some rest and good luck over the next 5 days. Hope you feel better soon xx

Good luck Squeak. Those 9 may all be good uns and fertilise. They keep saying it's all about qualify and not quantity. And 9 is still good. Amd I so know what you mean about feeling sorry for yourself. I've been in a right funk for days because I feel so crap. It's hard to stay positive when your body hurts. Good luck for the call tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed for you and hope you feel better soon x

it's so difficult. 17 is a high number so anything after that would be tough if less. it really is quality over quantity though. I got 6 eggs then 5 then 7 and on our last round we were lucky with the 3 et which was a frozen...it is hard not to obsess over numbers but it really does only take one and 7 is still a good number..fingers crossed xx

[Squeak2]

Thanks for all the replies! The embriologist phoned this morning to say out of the 7 eggs that 6 were injected and 5 have fertilised! Now to keep my fingers crossed they all do well for Saturday 🤞 xx

[Squeak2]

Wee update: 2 transferred and the other 3 didn’t get frozen 😢 same as 1st round! Just very hopeful all will be well xx
