COC eggs

[Nakijo]

Update ladies, I finally went ahead with my stimulation. Thanks to you great people here for your words of hope and encouragement . So i just did a retrieval and was told in a report that 10 COC were collected in both my left and right eggs.

I wonder why they used COC instead of eggs. What does COC mean?

Seems to be a fancy way of saying they have retrieved the eggs -oocyte is an other word for eggs Best ask your clinic to explain the term properly to you

Good luck for the future

Hi Nakijo 😊 COC stands for Cumulus oocyte complex, it's a very technical term to indicate you have successfully collected the eggs! When they are picked up, the eggs are surrounded by a crown of cumulus cells which are coming from the ovary and are there to nurture and protect the egg. Good luck 💕😉🌞
