EC done

Just got back from EC. Feeling ok just yet, but it's probably from all the painkillers they've given me! We got 6 eggs, feel a bit disappointed. Was expecting more.

It only takes one! Hopefully a high proportion will fertilise - just take each day and the results as it comes - one step at a time. It’s all one big waiting game now. Good luck. Hope this is going to lead to your baby xxx

6 isn't too bad at all!! You've probably seen a few others with loads more eggs but most ladies get in and around that if they havent been over stimulated. Wishing you luck for those dreaded calls. Rest up, take it easy and drink lots of water.xx

Six is a good number, it can often be quality over quantity. You could get loads but only a few mature ones, so numbers don't necessarily mean much. Now it's just a question of sitting tight and playing the waiting game. Good luck!!!

Good news, honey! The difficult part is over. Best of luck to you! Be positive, just one does the trick! Hopefully, you get a BFP. Keep us posted, okay? Lots of love and baby dust. x

Thank you, it sounds reassuring but I just can't help think about the 'what ifs'. I'm going to try and keep myself busy to keep my mind occupied xx
