Egg Collection today

[Estelle1]

I had my egg collection this morning and 10 eggs were retrieved. I have been advised a frozen embryo transfer would be ideal as 2 small polyps were found in my uterus. I am currently having these very sharp intense pain that lasts for a few seconds. Has anyone else experienced this?

Congrats on 10eggs! Yes totally normal for some pains and discomfort considering what you have just gone through. I do believe polyp’s need removing so there is nothing in the way for transfer and nothing in the way for implantation. I know it’s sucks to have to wait but you want that uterus all nice and ready to receive your embryo. Best of luck 💕xx

Thank you so much! Yeah, we’ve decided to have the polyps removed and have a FET early next year. It sucks but I'm happy to have gotten to this point and glad i’m fine with injecting myself. Thank you xx

Great! Hope the 2 weeks waits goes fast for you now 💕 Thank you. Got a call from the embryologist this morning. Out of the 10, 7 were matured and all 7 fertilized. Now I'm hoping we get a good number for Day 3 and 5 🤞🏾

I had had pain after all 3 of my egg collections - quite sharp ovary pain. The second time I had hyper stimulation so the pain was much worse and had men in tears and unable to move. My last one was last week and we had 10 mature eggs, 8 of which fertilised - 2 made it to Day 5, and a further 5 they thought would keep going stopped at Day 5/6. I just had 1 transferred and still have some pain/discomfort. This was my 5th transfer and I’ve had some mild pain/discomfort with all of them which I’ve been assured can be normal. Fingers crossed!

Thank you so much! Yesterday was really bad but i’m feeling much better this evening. Good I booked the day off work. Sorry to hear you still feel some pain/ discomfort. Wishing you all the best in the cycle xx

[Mdms in reply to Estelle1]

Thank you. Finally today my pain subsided 3DP5DT, but now with no symptoms I’m convinced my transfer was unsuccessful. I too have been indulging in Christmas movies on Netflix! It’s such a good distraction! Good luck on your cycle! Xx

Use hot water bag on the pain... Drink lots of water, coconut water..

[Estelle1 in reply to Chanandler-bong]

Awwww! Thanks. I’ll do just that xx

[Chanandler-bong]

Yes I had a terrible post 2-3 days after the pickup. Badly constipated and bloated with imminent pain... Hot water bag and that coconut water relieved me..

Thank you so much for sharing. Been drinking loads of water and tried the hot water bag. I’m getting there. Thanks xx
