So after a very upsetting egg retrieval 😖😢 from many follicles yesterday we were down to :
3 eggs .
One of which is an abnormal shape and was difficult to inject with sperm. 😤😳
📞 just off the phone to the labs. 🤪😫🤯🥴🤮😰🤯😱😶
All 3 have fertilised normally . 💁🏼♀️🥴🤪
The odd shape one is still an odd shape but looks normally fertilised .💁🏼♀️
3 🥚 🥚 🥚 = 3 chances..... right?
Now I’m away to ......climb back on the rollercoaster 🎢 until Saturday comes with the day 3 update. 🥳🤮🤠
These days are defo the most difficult on the journey I find ,
I’m sure lots of you will agree!
Hope this day brings moments of joy in amongst this crazy world we are all living.💐
A sweet honest friend text me last night to say she didn’t understand everything that my body was being put through but she understands why I’m doing it. This level of getting it lifted my heart and made me realise I can’t be cross at all of the family and best friends crap support because ..... unlike you guys.... they don’t get it. But they get the WHY. Nice wee side thought to help anyone finding this side of things tough 💐
May you be happy about something this day 💐😘💖
Love and hugs journeying sisters 👯

Great news! So pleased all 3 did what they needed to do. The rollercoaster 🎢 is brutal but you are back on and strapped in and I’ve got everything crossed that your next update will be just as good. You’ve got this 💪 💖xx
Yey that's a great first step! Yep I try not to get frustrated with friends/family for the same reason, it's not deliberate they just don't get it (even when they think they do!) Xx
Oh yay two pieces of positive news: you are mentally now back up to 3 embryos/3 chances and you have a friend who understands and supports. Good luck with the waiting. xxxx
Had the call Tues both had fertilised normally, huge relief. I’m having a 3 day transfer today 😬. My clinic will only take to day 5 if you have more than two.
I have everything 🤞🏻 for you. Sending lots of baby dust xx
I know what you mean! I'm a week into down reging and starting to get to the emotional stage so hope is feeling low right now! Fingers crossed for both of us!xx
That is great news RhinoCat! 💫 Try to plan something for tomorrow that will keep your mind busy! The waiting really is the worst 🙈. So good you have people you can talk to about it.
I only have a choice of 2 clinics in my city. One is still not taking self-funded (they are focusing on catching up from COVID) and the other one (private- not yet properly open) said the earliest cycle is likely to be Oct (and that is with no waiting list). The wait continues! It feels like Scotland is behind England. Looks like ‘au naturale’ is the only way to try for now 🙄😂 !
Good luck over the next few days 💪🏼 🥚 💪🏼 🥚 💪🏼 🥚💫💫💫. x x
Defo need a wee day trip out somewhere tomo . Today feels ok but that’s because I had a phone call 🙄
Well I’m in Northern Ireland and the nhs clinic hasn’t even opened yet 🤬🤯 to catch up never mind get near the people like us who were at the top of the list 😭😭😭😭😭and our private clinic have 200
People waiting in the wings to start so it feels like our next cycle could be next year at this rate if this current cycles is a flop. Disaster 💁🏼♀️
That is tough ... such a long wait in NI too 😣. There is definitely demand out there for more clinics to open!! I can see why going abroad is tempting. Well, for now RhinoCat, stay focused on the ‘here and now’ 🤞🏻. One step at a time... and enjoy your wee day trip tomorrow! X x
Fantastic news! I hope all.goes well and they all get to day 5. We only got 4 retrieved and only one fertilised normally, but that little fighter grew and grew and became a grade 5ab hatching blasto. The good old, 'it only takes one's cliche 🥰
Congrats that is fantastic news. All fingers crossed for Saturday! I’m so lucky that my family are so supportive and know exactly what/what not to say. My best friend on the other hand has absolutely no idea. The amount of times she’s said “it will happen when it’s mean to happen” I could explode! I know she doesn’t understand what I’m going through but it still hurts 😔 xx
