Egg Collection tomorrow...Any advise?

[Bluebirds7]

I took my trigger injection last night and egg collection is tomorrow morning! My scan yesterday showed 7 follicles measuring 16mm to 21mm, 14 follicles measuring 11mm to 15mm, and 10 follicles 10mm and below.

Feeling very nervous...any advise?

Exciting times! They will look after you, hopefully it’ll be nice and quick.

After mine me and my partner had a slow walk around the town and then came home for a chill out and little nap.

Don’t be hung up on numbers, it takes one good embryo 💕

Best of luck x

Thank you for your reply. And best of luck for your scan x

Thank you xx I think it’s all about getting through each stage and seeing each step as a win! X

[Bluebirds7 in reply to LunaLovegood11]

Yeah definitely. So happy to have got this far without any major setbacks. Was surprised at how rubbish the drugs have made me feel physically rather than mentally (but I think I prefer it that way)! But they are done with for now, so all good.

What time is your scan? It is horrible having to wait, but then so nerve wracking when you get into the scan room. x

Like the last lady said, don’t get hung up on numbers, get yourself through tomorrow.

They gave me some sort of Valium an hour before I went in and it was bloody lovely! The sedation didn’t knock me out completely and I have memories of it, however I have an issue with sedation not fully working on me in general. All the other women on here say they didn’t feel a thing.

Bit of advise, I would get yourself a heatpad or if the clinic is close by take a hot water bottle with you as you’ll have some period like cramps after as my clinic didn’t have any hot water bottles.

I went into it without doing too much googling and research and that really helped!

Good luck, I hope it all goes well for you xxx

Thank you for the advise, good idea about heat pad, I have a 3 hr train ride home after so think that might be a good idea x

Wishing you lots of luck. It’s a straight forward process but take time to recover. I felt fine then realised I needed more rest than I thought. Well done on getting this far celebrate each small step xx

Best of luck. Egg collection for me tomorrow too! First cycle. Not too worried about the procedure (lots of reassuring advice from this forum) but so nervous about the outcome... Hope it goes well for us both🤞

[Bluebirds7 in reply to louisajane80]

First cycle for me too! Lots of luck to you. Yeah nervous about outcome too, fingers crossed x

How did your egg collection go? I got 12 eggs in the end, so think that's good especially for my age! Feeling very sore though!!

[louisajane80 in reply to Bluebirds7]

That’s great! We got what we expected so feeling relieved. Just hoping for good news tomorrow when we find out if any have fertilised 🤞

Hope EC has gone well and you are resting up with your heat pad/hot water bottle xx
