Third time lucky?!?

[Abloured84]

So , here we are .

Last night we triggered and tomorrow is EC day (for the third time 🙄) . I’m still feeling meh about this whole process tbh and I think I have totally slept walked into it - but I can’t lie, the pre EC nerves are kicking in now 😫. I don’t know why I get so worked up about the procedure (the last two have been fine) but I do…… and I can feel anxiety creeping in. Ironically my anxiety is always about the procedure itself - not the number of eggs retrieved (maybe as we never have a huge amount to work with). Nonetheless, I’m beginning to feel on edge about tomorrow .

Anyone else in for EC tomorrow? I need a buddy 🙄☺️

I'm not having egg collections at the moment so can't be a EC buddy 😣 but I just wanted to wish you good luck! It's natural to feel nervous before EC, I know I always feel a bit anxious 😘 But it's always over so quickly and I kind of like feeling something is finally out of my hands for a bit! Sending love and wishing you lots of luck for a good result xx

Thank you for being kind 🥰🥰🥰. And I know you’re right- it’s always fine I don’t know why I get so worked up ! 😫😫😫 xx

The only bit I don't like is the cannula for the sedation stuff! But I try to fix on a happy song or something I like and just focus on that 👍Make sure you've got something nice to eat and/or watch when you get home xx

Good luck, lovely! I will be thinking of you tomorrow. I hope it's early so you get it over with.

If it makes you feel any better, I always get nervous and inevitably say something weird/embarrassing in the moments before the sedation knocks me out. The first time, having seemed totally nonchalant before, I suddenly looked deep into the anesthetist's eyes and said "I'm scared" and the second time I said, "I'm worried my suppository is going to fall out" 😳😳😳😂😂

[Abloured84 in reply to Redsequin]

Oh god 😂😂😂😂 don’t put this in my head now as I’ll end up saying it too!!!!! 😂😂😂. I’m also not panicking about what I may have said last time as I genuinely don’t remember !!!!

Oh we’ve got to laugh havent we ?!? 😂😫

How are you doing? Any updates your end yet 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

[Redsequin in reply to Abloured84]

Haha. I woke up and both times the first thing I remembered was the horrific last thing I'd said! I'm pretty sure my clinic thinks I'm insane.

No updates, but I'm doing good, mostly because I've decided to bury my head in the sand until Wednesday when I'm going to call before I set off for the clinic. I'm not sure I'll find it helpful to go in if there's nothing to transfer. When I'm upset, I can never remember what questions to ask!

[Abloured84 in reply to Redsequin]

I think that’s a sensible decision. You don’t want to get there and receive news like that…. It seems really cruel!

BUT….. there won’t be news like that because it’s going to be great! 🥰

[Redsequin in reply to Abloured84]

Thank you 🧡 I really hope so!

When I was coming out of sedation on one of my egg collections I called one of the nurses "mum"...massive cringe alert! X

[Abloured84 in reply to Skittles11]

Oh god 😂😂😂😂😂……. Girls , I’m going to have all these “don’t say it “ phrases in my head now and I’ll bloody say them all !!!! 😂😂😂

[Redsequin in reply to Abloured84]

Haha. Sorry! You're going to be giggling to yourself when you're in the operating room now...

[Redsequin in reply to Skittles11]

Omg AMAZING 😂

[Skittles11]

Lots of luck for your egg collection tomorrow. Only natural for the nerves to kick in but I actually try and think of it as a nice sleep. As for embarrassing remarks I'm sure you'll be completely fine xx

[Abloured84 in reply to Skittles11]

Haha - that is actually myBiggest worry so I guess the rest of it will be fine 😂 xx

[PinkPanther1234]

Good luck! Try not to worry, you will be fine 🙂 xx
