Egg collection booked for Monday 😬

[Italy300618]

Hi ladies, I had my 11 day scan today and all was looking good. 26 follicles! I had 12 at this stage last time. I'm not feeling too uncomfortable either at the moment.

I am sooo nervous for monday, my last egg collection was horrendous, the sedation didnt kick in and I felt it all, it was so painful. I've been telling them that I want better care this time, I felt so rushed through last time, and I swear the cannula didnt go in properly as I felt the medication trickle down my arm.

So fingers crossed it's a different experience for me this time!

Also with the awful phone on our last cycle to say only 1 had fertilised out of 10 eggs I am unbelievably scared the same will happen again but really trying to remain positive.

I so want to make it to transfer this time and hope this is our time.

Will keep you posted, good luck to everyone whatever stage you are at xx

Thank you, hope you're doing ok xx

[Livinginhope2019 in reply to Italy300618]

I’m ok , Just taking one day at a time xxx

Things are looking great! You have to keep reminding yourself that this is a completely different round and there’s no reason the same thing will happen again! I’ve got everything crossed for you 🤞🤞. It sounds like you had a really traumatic time last time so it’s not surprising that you are worried about the procedure, but I’m sure it will all go much more smoothly this time. I found the Mindful IVF app really helpful. There’s specific sessions for the day before egg collection and the day of, which can help with keeping calm. Lots of luck lovely xx

[Italy300618 in reply to Picalilli99]

Thank you so much, yes that's very true, hopefully we will have better results this time, can only hope!

Thank you I will definitely try the app, try and calm the nerves. I think acupuncture has definitely been helping with anxiety too xx

Ti auguro il meglio per Lunedi! 😊

[Italy300618 in reply to FrancyItaly]

Thank you ☺ I wish I could say I was Italian, but sadly not I just love the place, very special to me x

[FrancyItaly in reply to Italy300618]

Awww 🥰 keep us updated!

[Lavender96]

Good luck for Monday!! Hopefully they can check your file from last time and give you a stronger sedation and you’ll be more prepared and comfortable to request the care you need. Fingers crossed this is your round🤞🏼xx

[Italy300618 in reply to Lavender96]

Thank you very much, I do hope so 🤞xx

[Lowamh]

Ask to speak to the anaesthetist when you arrive and tell them you could feel it the first time and they will give you a higher dose, they did this for me. It’s normal to feel the anaesthetic travel up your arm sometimes. Good luck x

[Italy300618 in reply to Lowamh]

Thank you, I definitely will speak to them xx

[Hopesanddreams1987]

Good luck for Monday 🙂 hopefully you have a smoother experience this time, which I’m sure you will once you talk to the anaesthetist. This time next week it’ll be a distant memory! Xx

[Italy300618 in reply to Hopesanddreams1987]

Thank you for your reply ☺ I'm really hoping so 🤞 xx

Good luck for Monday🤞🤞🤞I will have egg collection on Tuesday and I have only 6 folIicles, but I'm happy because last time was zero. I wish you a better experience. And don't worry 🥰

[Sunshine_4 in reply to Dinuss]

Hello I am also booked for egg collection on Tuesday, it’s my first round of ivf I’m so nervous xx

[Dinuss in reply to Sunshine_4]

I'm nervous too, but I'm happy because I'm doing and getting closer to have a baby😊 Sunshine how many, follicles you have?

[Sunshine_4 in reply to Dinuss]

I have 8 follicles in total, had scan yesterday and 4 are a good size and 2 catching up, it’s all a bit confusing really! I will just be happy if I at least have some eggs x

[Dinuss in reply to Sunshine_4]

Good luck for you 🤞🤞🤞, me too if I have 1 egg who will be healthy and stay with me 9 months I'm the happiest person on the planet 🥰

[Italy300618 in reply to Dinuss]

Exactly, me too!! Hopefully it's our time x

[Sunshine_4 in reply to Italy300618]

Wishing you both lots of luck 💕be nice to stay in touch on this difficult journey, I don’t have anyone to talk to about any of this other than my wonderful husband but he still doesn’t fully get it if you know what I mean x

[Italy300618 in reply to Sunshine_4]

Definitely, yes I understand. Nobody can ever understand it unless theyve been through it and it can be really hard. Here if you want to talk x

[Sunshine_4 in reply to Italy300618]

Thank you so much, is this your first cycle? x

[Italy300618 in reply to Sunshine_4]

Thank you Sunshine, good luck for Tuesday, the 3 of us are all very similar times. Wishing you all the very best x

[Italy300618 in reply to Annie1609]

Good luck to you! Same day ☺ wishing you all the best, keep me posted! It is so so nervewracking xx

[Yazlinda]

Good luck! Wishing you all the best on EC. Im on day 6 of stimms and have 10 follicles but some are small. Keeping everything crossed for you. 😊 X

[Italy300618 in reply to Yazlinda]

Thank you Yazlinda, I hope the rest of your stimming days go well, you're doing well! X

[Solly-44]

Not long now! Loads of luck for Monday lovely xx

[Italy300618 in reply to Solly-44]

Thank you lovely, hope you're doing ok now 😘 x

[JojoWash]

Wow that looks absolutely great!! 26! That’s giving you such a head start! Sounds like they really messed up last time, the likeliness it will happen again is slim but this time explain before and tell them of your anxiety. If you feel something is wrong tell them to stop and give you a little time to feel the sedative.

Wishing you so much luck

XxxxxxxxxxXxxxxxxxxxXXxxx

[Italy300618 in reply to JojoWash]

Thank you for your reply ☺ yes I'm definitely going to be more vocal, I had no idea what to expect last time and thought it was what normally happens, but no I will be piping up this time! Xx

[JojoWash in reply to Italy300618]

Good ! And good

Luck on a positive test in few weeks!! Xx

[Sunshine_yellow]

I have my egg collection on Monday too😃this will be my first one and very nervous as I’m not too sure what to expect. I’ve got to take my trigger at 2.30am!! I had 14 follicles, at my scan today, that are all 15mm or more and another 6 between 13mm and 15mm. There were also lots of small ones they didn’t measure. The biggest is 22mm. Feeling pretty uncomfortable at the moment. I really hope it all goes well for you this time. It sounds like you had an awful time last time 🙁Did you find the recovery ok or was it quite painful? Got everything crossed for you and I hope Monday is a good day for us both 😊xx

[Italy300618 in reply to Sunshine_yellow]

Thank you for your reply, your monday too? ☺ sounds like your scan went really well, not really a surprise you are uncomfortable, I am too. Try and drink lots of water after egg collection, I didnt do that enough last time. My recovery wasnt good I ended up with ohss but I'm hoping I can keep it at bay this time!

2 30am are you kidding? You poor thing!! I thought 11pm was bad 😂

Wishing you all the best for tomorrow you will be just fine, keep me posted ☺ xx

[Sunshine_yellow]

Oh no, what are you going to do differently this time to try and avoid ohss? They’ve halved my trigger injection dose because I think they’re worried about that 🙁I know yeah it will be weird setting an alarm for that time!! Good luck with yours tonight too 🤞🏻xx

[Italy300618 in reply to Sunshine_yellow]

What is your dosage if you dont mind me asking? Just drinking lots and eating lots of protein and remaining healthy this isn't an awful lot more you can do really. Just listen to your body rest when you need to! It will seem very surreal doing it at that time will be like a dream ☺ xx

[Sunshine_yellow]

I was due to take 10,000 Gonasi but it’s now 5000 instead. Ah right ok, I’ll make sure I do that, thank you xx

[Italy300618 in reply to Sunshine_yellow]

Mine is 5000 too ☺ good luck xx

[Sunshine_yellow]

👍🏻Good luck, speak to you soon xx

[CharlieW1985]

My egg collection is Wednesday! 13 follicles all between 11 and 25mm. Taking 10,000 Gonasi Monday night. They are predicting around 10 eggs. Good luck xx

[Italy300618 in reply to CharlieW1985]

That's fantastic Charlie! Thank you very much, wishing you all the best for Wednesday xx

[CharlieW1985 in reply to Italy300618]

[Pearso78 in reply to CharlieW1985]
