Egg collection update

13 Replies

I had my egg collection this morning.

First off my bloods indicated my hormones are very high , not sure which one , but means fresh transfer was off the cards. They said if I insisted on fresh transfer there was a high possibility of miscarriage . Found this out just before I went in , had a few tears but went ahead with egg collection.

7 eggs collected but I’ve no idea what quality yet. I seem to be consistent with the number 7!! But only every get 1 or 2 to fertilise . So I’m just waiting for the call now. I don’t know if it will be today or tomorrow. Praying I actually have something to freeze.

I feel very disheartened . I’ve only ever had a 3 day transfer due to low number of eggs and not wanting to risk having nothing to transfer .

I’m not sure what happens now, if I have a fertilised egg , the consultant said they would freeze on day 1 or 2? Tbh not much went into my head what she was saying, the whole frozen cycle suggestion threw me a bit.

I’m kinda lost , and the fear of not having any eggs fertilise or be good quality is the first hurdle and then I’m panicking about them not surviving a freeze .

I’m just waiting now , hopefully I have something to freeze.

The waiting ladies, we are professionals at this horrible constant waiting !!

Anyone else with egg collection today , I hope it all went well xxx

I know how you feel I always get 12 eggs (good number I know) but then only 3 or 4 would fertilize and I can only do 3rd day transfers like you.Hope things work out for you!!

I feel you rol. It has been the same for me. I had 7 eggs this cycle on may 6. I had a horrible weekend trying to figure how many would fertilize and when I would know. Finally after 2 whole days of waiting, I know 4 are in day 3 now. Have a transfer planned tomorrow. 🤞

Sending you all positive vibes. 🍀💕🤗

Good luck with your transfer. I was really hoping I’d be having a transfer. 4 eggs in day 3 is very good 🍀🙌
