Am so so bloated it’s actually painful. Trigger shot in an hour and egg collection on Monday morning. Wishing absolutely everyone about to trigger or doing egg collection all the very best. Come on eggies you can do it! We need a positive outcome! 😊x

Good luck! It might be a good sign, I couldn’t sit down comfortably and I could feel my ovaries rubbing together towards the end because there were so many follicles. I ended up with 21 eggs 🥚 fingers crossed for you xx

Oh gosh!! How could you tell they were rubbing together?! That doesn’t sound pleasant for you! I can barely eat now as there is no room! Thanks for the well wishes. Hopefully it’s a good sign 🙏 x

Just when I was walking I had to slightly bend I can’t explain it I could just feel them rubbing, and It felt like I was actually sitting on the ovaries themselves when I sat down. When I had my last scan they stopped counting at 50 follicles, they did confirm that the ovaries were touching at that point too. Can be good and bad, they were concerned I would OHSS so I didn’t have a fresh transfer, but I was glad for the break. I’m now almost 7 weeks pregnant x

50 follicles?! Wow! Many many congrats on your pregnancy. Amazing news 😊. Mine isn’t fresh either. My clinic tends to do freeze all and transfers in the next cycle which I prefer. I need a break too. All the best with your pregnancy xx

Hey I have been up until the last 3 days but now I’m in quite a lot of pain as I’m so bloated and have to keep my bladder really empty! Can’t win! X

I think you should speak to the clinic if you’re in pain, could be ohss?

hifer profile image
hifer in reply toPozzag83

Thanks. I think it’s just bloating. It doesn’t feel like it shouldn’t if you know what I mean. I have been incredibly closely monitored throughout. Just looking forward to getting tomorrow over and done with. X

Ok yes I get what you mean, it’s such a strange feeling. Don’t forget socks for egg collection. I was pleased to have a sock on. Good luck and got everything crossed for you.

It’s an emotional rollercoaster ivf. It’s crazy.

It’s the biggest emotional rollercoaster ever and it’s so hard. Just take each few hours as they come and go from there. Take care x

I had 40 follicles and It was slightly uncomfortable and painful, I got 26 eggs though so it was worth it and I only got very mild OHSS. Good luck <3

You only got mild? Wowsers! I got mild off 17 eggies and took forever to recover. You must be Wonder Woman 👩

Anumanse in reply toVegemite

lol :D I just refused to be sick! I was adamantly against it in front of my doctor and my husband so I guess my body just listened to my stubborn head.

Come on dem beautiful eggs! Hopefully your mans goodies buy them flowers and chocolates before they go out... then some beautiful fertilisation can happen.

hifer profile image
hifer in reply toVegemite

Physically I’m ok thanks. Much, much better than I thought I’d be and better than before egg collection! I’ll see how I’m doing tomorrow. Mentally I’m a bit sad cos it was a bit of an overwhelming day. Hopefully a good nights sleep will sort me out. Thanks for checking in. Xx

Vegemite in reply tohifer

So overwhelming.

Rest . Sleep... even a vino against doctors orders wasn’t a bad idea.

Let us know if you need a sounding board.
