Egg Collection Wednesday

[Kirmie]

Just thought i'd share where I am and see if anyone else is in the same situation. Day 11 of stimming and my scan this morning was good so i'm booked in for egg collection on Wednesday morning. My lining is thickening as it should and I have 25 follicles. My two little hiccups are I had to have a blood test for OHSS but they said this is precautionary. I feel fine so hope so. They also noted that rather than a straight line showing on my uterus it was a little bump there so they've asked that on Wednesday they see what that is. Could be just a fold in the lining or a polyp. We'll see.

So I'm armed and ready for my trigger shot at 11pm tonight. Anyone else on my timeline?

Hi Kirmie. Just wanted to wish you well for your egg collection on Wednesday. Sounds a bit suspicious of a small polyp, as they can appear as a bump and not always stick out. See how you go. i suppose the worst case scenario would be that they would want to treat it before transferring any embryos back. Should this happen they will fertilise your eggs and store them frozen until ready to use. Please don't panic if it should come to that, as it is a perfectly safe option. make sure you have a good rest afterwards, and drink plenty of water. Thinking of you. Diane

Sorry didn’t have a bump so can’t comment but wanted to wish you well for Wednesday x

My little joy for the day was that I had fresh pjs and bed sheets waiting for me when I got back home... it was heaven!

Good luck with your trigger shot! Exciting times ahead 😊 I had my day 10 of stims scan today, follicles still growing and lining is thickening. Back on Wednesday for another scan to see if we can egg collect on Friday. What size were your follicles measuring today? I heard they like them to be 18mm? X

Thank you. The trigger shot was absolutely fine. The hardest part was staying awake until 11pm to do it!

That’s great that you’re progressing well too. If you’re like me you’ll start feeling the symptoms more now.

Yes all set for tomorrow. My blood test came back OHSS low risk so that’s reassuring. I didn’t make note of follicle sizes but there were lots in the high teens or twenties but also some smaller.

Take it easy!
