Trigger injection

[Khess124]

So ladies I’ve finally done my trigger injection and am having my eggs collected Monday! Any advice on what to expect? What to do and what not to do? Hoping that all will go well but worried about the egg quality 😩

Hi,

I was told to eat from after 6pm the night before (I guess this would vary depending on the time your booked in for) and couldn’t drink water after 6am the following morning. I had to put in a rectal pessary for pain relief/ relaxing when I got there. They told me to bring slippers and dressing gown. I think I arrived at 8:30 and had left by 11am. Oh they put a cannula in my hand. I personally was ok with the discomfort but they did offer me gas and air when I was in there but I didn’t need it.

I took it easy that afternoon, watched films in bed.

Have they said how many follicles there are? Just remember it only needs one 😊

Good luck.

I know as of Friday I had 18 follicles ready 😩 was you aware of what was going on? Because they’ve told me I’ll be in a deep sleep 🙈 and that’s why I’m worrying! Thank you for advice ❤️

Only advice I have is the standard dont wear any perfume, hairspray, deodorant or fragranced body lotions. Other than that I found it WAY less scary than I thought it would be (didn’t remember a thing!)

Rest up that afternoon- lots of Netflix & chocolate! 😝

Good luck!! Let us know how you get on 😘🤞🏻🌈 xx

Thank you ❤️ I’ll get the chocolate at the ready 😂been told I’m not allowed to leave until OH gets back from the other hospital 😩 xx

Best of luck!

Mine went really fast, it got a bit uncomfortable so they also gave me gas and air which was great haha. Just tell them if you get that way and they’ll help. I think they may have given me too little anaesthetic in the first place - said it’d be like I’ve had 2 glasses of wine, well it takes a bit more with me haha!

I had a couple of days of sofa rest prepared with snacks at the ready but actually I was just fine, no pain after, just took it easy.

Good luck! Try not to worry xx

So you was slightly awAre of what was going on? 😩 I’ve got work on Tuesday and I’m wondering if I’ll be ready to go in 🙈 thank you! ❤️

[LunaLovegood11 in reply to Khess124]

Well until I had the gas and air then I could feel nothing! Just ask if you need it, but loads don’t 😊

I booked the day after off but in fairness didn’t need it really, I was fine and had no pain after, didn’t need any paracetamol or anything xx

[Khess124 in reply to LunaLovegood11]

Ahh okay thank you! Hopefully I feel like you afterwards lol cx

I was put to sleep for mine and wasn’t aware of anything. I suppose each clinic has its own protocol xx

[Khess124 in reply to Hope4040]

I’m just wondering what to expect now and everyone has there own take on it so I’m not sure now 😩🙈 xx

[LunaLovegood11 in reply to Khess124]

Ah yes there are lots of differing stories, I was really nervous before mine too but it’s super quick really and they look after you (I got a cuppa and a croissant after and lots of tlc from my partner) x

[Khess124 in reply to LunaLovegood11]

The other half has to get off to another hospital to do a fresh sample and take my eggs! That’s why I’m so worried I’m goin to be by myself 😩 x

[LunaLovegood11 in reply to Khess124]

Oh dear! Ah I’ve heard of that in some clinics... Must be quite stressful for the men too I imagine! X

[Khess124 in reply to LunaLovegood11]

He’s worrying about getting them there in time, what if the trains are delayed and all of that 😩 it’s such a stressful process let alone ask him to disappear in the middle of it! But atleast we know the eggs will get there safely! Xx

[LunaLovegood11]

Yep he’s like the penguin who then takes the eggs to look after them! X

[Khess124 in reply to LunaLovegood11]

Ahaha that’s the best way to describe it 😂😂 x

[Khess124 in reply to LunaLovegood11]
