Egg collection done..waiting for transfer

[Reb990]

Hi,

Had my egg collection on Friday. They managed to get 18 eggs but only 7 we’re mature🤦🏼‍♀️. Of that 7 only 5 fertilised.

Feeling ok physically now but emotionally all over the place today. I am filled with worry of what if none of them make it to transfer day?

Randomly crying today and don’t know what to do with myself. My husband suggested going out with friends as he’s working. I just don’t feel up to it because I worry il start crying and we’ve not told them what we’re doing so they won’t understand.

God sorry that was a long rant!

If all 5 make it that would be a really great number! Please keep us posted xx

Bless you, stay positive! 5 is great number -just remember it only takes 1. If you’re really not up for meeting anyone - do something nice for yourself to take your mind off things even if it’s just binge watching some box set. All the best xx

Hope you're ok. We had egg collection on Friday too and were told that they only expect about 65% of mature eggs to fertilise so your eggs are doing great... it's such a difficult time isn't it - possibly even worse than the 2ww I think. We've been told to expect a phone call on Tuesday with an update and a time to go in for transfer on Wednesday... hopefully we won't hear anything before that (they said no news us good news!) It's definitely quality over quantity that's important! xx

Thanks MrsB it’s a total limbo just now!

We’ve been given a time for Wednesday but they may call tomorrow if things aren’t progressing to go for a 3 day transfer instead.

Just hoping so hard we get one! Fingers crossed for you too x

It sure is a limbo... feels like time is standing still!! How are you feeling physically after egg collection? I'm still quite bloated and a little bit sore at times but just keep thinking how much better I am this year than last when I had 28 eggs collected!!! I'm going for reflexology this afternoon so hopefully that will take my mind off things for a little while... Will be thinking of you and hoping you grt your day 5 transfer! xx

[Reb990 in reply to MrsB_2013]

I have never known time to pass so slowly 🙈.

I’m feeling ok physically apart from a little pain if I sneeze. The bloat is still there though really hoping it goes down soon.

28😱 I can only imagine the bloat and pain after that.

Thanks enjoy your reflexology! I’m booked in for acupuncture on Wednesday so hopefully I’ll be chilled before the transfer 🤞🏻.

We only had 4 eggs collected!! 3 fertilised! All 3 made it to day 5, we had one put back in on day 5 and the other two were left to day 6! Sadly we lost one of those but we have one frozen! Which will be going in at the end of next month xx

Your numbers are great so fingers crossed for you they carry on xx

[Reb990 in reply to Lisaworthy1981]

Thanks Lisa. I think it’s the drop in numbers that scares me.

All the best for your frozen transfer!

You poor thing. It is such a physically and emotionally draining time. I relate totally to your anxiety and tearfulness. Five’s a really healthy number. Keeping my fingers crossed for you for transfer day. Do something nice for yourself, you deserve a treat and it might just take your mind off things (if only for a little while) Take care xx

[Reb990 in reply to Dunla]

Thanks Dunla. I have watched box sets until they are coming out my ears 😂. 2 more sleeps to get through x

[Dunla in reply to Reb990]

I think we can all relate to the box set binging during the 2ww 🤣 Anything to get you through. Two more sleeps...you can do it ! Good luck xx

[Reb990 in reply to Dunla]

No more sleeps now moved to transferring today ahhh!

Also for the box set binge I do not recommend Gilmore Girls. It’s quite possibly the worst thing I’ve ever seen but now I’m too far gone to call it quits 🤦🏼‍♀️.

[Dunla in reply to Reb990]

Hope the transfer went well for you today. Best of luck for the two week wait and for the rest of the Gilmore Girls 😋 xx
