Transfer Today

[SeaChange]

It’s crazy how quickly time flies between egg collection and transfer! Not to mention the rollercoaster.

We had an amazing 21 eggs collected and a good sperm sample, but becuase previous sperm samples were boarder line we were recommended a mixture of ICSI and traditional IVF.

Of the 12 traditional IVF none fertilised

Of the 9 ICSI 7 fertilised

(Can’t help but feel like the 12 in traditional IVF is a year wasted and we should have gone all ICSI)

On day 3 they called to say 4 are looking strong so transfer on day 5, today.

In the meantime I’ve been really suffering with recovering from OHSS symptoms. I can barely eat, I’m exhausted and bloated and my ovaries hurt. Has anyone else suffered post egg collection with this?

I imagined all the hardest bits would be the drugs pre op!

Oh wow. That's an amazing number of fertilised eggs to work with. Wishing you all the best today and with your 2ww. Xx

Wow 21 eggs is amazing well done! I agree it’s a shame about the 12 for IVF but unfortunately the first round is always a bit of an ‘experiment’. It’s great that 4 are looking strong so hold onto that thought, your little fighter will be amongst them! 💪🏼

I didn’t quite have OHSS but I was boarder line. I was in a lot of pain after my egg collection, I was bleeding for 4 days and I was SO bloated I looked 4 months pregnant! (So cruel)! The only thing you can do is drink loads of water and rest up. A gentle walk is good too.

Good luck for transfer!! It’s amazing how quick transfer is done and dusted , I was like ‘is that it?! It’s really in there?!’

All the best 😘🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼Xx
