Egg collection tomorrow!2nd round,nervous!

[crisps88]

Hey everyone

Our first cycle ended in total disaster, no sustainable embryos made to day 5 and they transferred a 5% chance embryo on day 5 it was BFN. My consultant couldn’t understand as he saw 10+ eggs on scan initially , and I only had 3 retrieved. Leaving him to think I may have empty follicle syndrome, Which will either be confirmed or hopefully reprieved tomorrow.

Day 12 scan yesterday , she saw 9-10 viable but didn’t want to keep me on extra meds so I’m in for egg collection tomorrow. This time I’m on 375 Meriofert , a higher dose

I don’t know what I’ll do if I wake up and they say only 3 or less have been collected again I don’t know what I’ll Cope.

I am so nervous as I know after this it means donor eggs my consultants have said.

So hoping for better news tomorrow, i know everyone says only takes 1 but it didn’t work for me last time! Eeeeek xxx

Wishing you lots of luck! Xxx

Thank you and keep us updated on your transfer xx

[CLDxxx in reply to crisps88]

Thank you. Just wishing the months away! Let us know how your collection goes 🤞xx

[Georgie17]

Good luck, I hope you get more this time. I am due for collection this week and very nervous like you. I've been on 225 meriofert and dropped down to 150 since Friday.

[crisps88 in reply to Georgie17]

Thank you. It is ok the actual procedure honestly I found it fine, really. It’s the waiting to see what they’ve collected after and then the next few days waiting for the phone call to see how they’ve got on. Have you had good results in your scans they dropped you down? X x x

[Georgie17 in reply to crisps88]

Hi, this will be my third fresh cycle so I am very used to it and agree that the collection part is fine but the waiting before and after is the worst. I had 12 on one side and 9 on the other so quite a good number however my consultant wanted to see if my lining g would thicken further. I am also doing neupogen to see if that will help implantation. This will be my 6th transfer when I get to it but I'm persevering. How many did you get this time?

[crisps88 in reply to Georgie17]

Wow, you are an inspiration 6 transfers. I bet you are made up you got so many out that’s brilliant! Good for you to keep your dream and keep going, you’re doing so well and you deserve such good news. At least they are thinking of more options and positive things to change hey. I got 10 this time! Was absolutely thrilled. Xxx

[Georgie17 in reply to crisps88]

That's amazing. When are you hoping to transfer? I am booked in for collection on thursday...I'm so puffy...I can't wait for thursday.

[crisps88 in reply to Georgie17]

Good luck for tomorrow hope everything goes well fingers crossed let us know how you get on. Wishing you lots of luck xx

[Georgie17 in reply to crisps88]

Got 13 collected today. Was expecting more but I'm assuming some were not quite big enough. I am so pleased but feel very sore. How are your embryos coming along? Have they given you an update?

[Hope4usall]

Good luck to you. Keeping everything crossed! Xx

[crisps88 in reply to Hope4usall]

Thank you so much. So sorry to hear your bad news it’s so upsetting to heAr your hardship. It’s not fair. Hope you are adjusting we are all here xx

[sarahJE]

All the best, try and keep a positive mind set and try visualisation x

[crisps88 in reply to sarahJE]

Thank you! How are getting on with your pessaries now? Xxx

[sarahJE in reply to crisps88]

Doing ok thanks. Tried putting them up the back way for a few days which was better. However, I had stomach upset (diarrhoea) so in case this was related, I’ve switched back to putting them in front way. Will probably alternate a bit going forward.

[EmGLA]

I'm currently stimming and my anxiety is off the charts! So I can only imagine what you are going through having had less than ideal results the first time. Try and keep positive (I know how trite that sounds). I'm keeping everything crossed for a positive outcome for you doll!

xx

[crisps88 in reply to EmGLA]

Aw thank you. I know it’s so hard isn’t it. I’m so nervous for the outcome. Aw really, how are you getting on with injections all ok this time? Thank you so muc lovely good luck xx

[EmGLA in reply to crisps88]

So far so good, they saw a good ammount of follicles at my baseline scan , but I'm concerned about them having any eggs, similar to what you described. Your concerns definitely resonate with me. Hopefully we'll both be lucky this time around.

xxxx

[crisps88 in reply to EmGLA]

I know lovely it’s so hard isn’t it, I got 10 this time so happy about it. I know it’s not millions but it’s an improvement and hopefully u won’t need donor eggs. That’s good about the baseline, I had 13 in the end and 10 out. Let me know how you get on I’ll be following your journey. Xx

[EmGLA in reply to crisps88]

That’s brilliant congratulations!! Fingers crossed they fertilise and you get to day 5!! Xx

[crisps88 in reply to EmGLA]

Omg I know. This is the worst hey now , the waiting game. I will barely sleep !! Thanks again lovely Xxx

wishing You all the best and a speedy recovery x

[crisps88 in reply to LKT1]

Thanks so much. Hope you’ve managed to get some stress free time, how are you feeling this time around? X x

[LKT1 in reply to crisps88]

I’m still a bit sore from Friday but it took a good few days last time to recover. I had a change of drugs this time round which seam to have really helped. Although I also changed the vitamins I was taking, my diet and accupuncture. First round I ended up with a 3 day transfer of 1 low grade embryo. This Round I still have 5 surviving embryos with a grade 1 and grade 2 so feeling much more positive this time. Did they change your meds this time round to a different type or just alter the dose?

[crisps88 in reply to LKT1]

That’s amazing congratulations! Lovely news, grades are brilliant congratulations. What’s your next steps? So they had a multi team disciplinary meeting about it and decided to keep protocol same eg drugs and trigger etc but ramped up the strength. I got 10 today collected which Is brilliant for me. Xx

[LKT1 in reply to crisps88]

Wow 10 that’s great! So pleased for you. Hopefully transfer on Wednesday with the best one and I’ll be over the moon if I have a back up to freeze this time x

[crisps88 in reply to LKT1]

Brill news. I have everything crossed, keep me updated I am wishing you the best. I hope I am that fortunate xxx

And to you lovely fingers crossed. Thank you again xxx

[Hidden]

Fingers and toes crossed it’s good news - really glad you aren’t too sore x

[crisps88 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you so much for your kind words and support, I will take the pain any day for better results. Thank you xx

[crisps88]

Thanks so much everyone, your support means more than words can say.

I am so happy, I got 10 eggs this time. It’s made me so grateful. I know there are so many hurdles to come over but just to know I might not have to use donor eggs I feel overwhelmed. It’s a small start but.

I even started a little weep in theatre I was so scared I would disappoint myself and I felt like a failure. The same ladies did it and were so marvellous. The embryologist and consultant both came out personally to tell me, they were made up it was lovely.

Thank you so much once again you all get us through it.

X x x

[crisps88]

Ps I am much more sore and much more tender but I had so many more out! Thank you guys xx

[Hidden in reply to crisps88]

That’s such fantastic news re the 10! Masses of luck for your call tomorrow!! Sorry you are sore, rest up and take it easy - you’ve done so brilliantly you deserve some TLC xx

[crisps88 in reply to Hidden]

You’re very kind. I know, I won’t be sleeping tonight lol. This is the worst part now hey. Thank you so much xxxx

[SunnyDream]

Hello hun, how are you? How did your egg collection go? How do you feel? Is there any prognosis?

[crisps88 in reply to SunnyDream]

Morning. Yes I had egg collection, I had 10 eggs collected ! Which hopefully means I won’t need to use egg donor in future (if nothingness else works out this round). Had a call this morning from the embryologist and amazingly 8 have fertilised. 1 was immature and 1 wasn’t developing as well. So happy. Fingers crossed for the rest. Thank you so much for asking and hope you are well xxxx

[Cinderella5 in reply to crisps88]

Great news! Fingers crossed for the next update!!xx

[crisps88 in reply to Cinderella5]

Thanks so much. I can’t quite believe it myself. So nervous until Thursday and then Saturday. Considering last time my phone call on day 1 said barely 1 had made it I’m so happy xxx
