Egg collection booked for Monday 😬

53 Replies

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 profile image
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 profile image
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 profile image
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
