Egg Collection Day!!!

[Candyfloss31]

i just had my egg collection yesterday and what an experience it was and it’s something ive never experienced before in my life before until that moment and when it was done i had 18 eggs collected!!!!! i couldnt believed my body done all that and survived the injections as well im so proud of myself because in that moment when i was in recovery i felt this rush of emotion come over me and i couldn’t stop crying as some part of me was attached to my eggs and how the journey had lead me to that point

Then today i had phone call from the clinic this morning saying that 12 has fertilised out of the 6 and i was happy and excited but waiting alittle more time until blastocyst stage to see what the next stages are as im having my embryos frozen as my body responding very well to the medication that they didnt want me to have ohss but either way i feel really well but knowing that im nearly there at the finish line 💕

I'm so excited and happy for you well done.☺️. Most people don't realise what it takes to get to this point, what our bodies go through. Your numbers are really really good and sound positive. Not sure if your clinic is similar to mine, but my clinic rang us on Day 3 and also on Day 5 just before they froze the blastocysts, we are so grateful we got 3 blastocysts frozen. I also was at high risk of OHSS so fresh transfer wasn't an option. I'm so glad they decided to freeze the eggs which allowed my body time to recover. After the egg retrieval, I had 2 periods then I started my frozen transfer. Today was my pregnancy test day and the test was positive, so super grateful and happy and excited for what is to come. Rooting for you and best of luck on your journey, we'll done again for successful retrieval and fertilisation, and try and rest and let your body recover.xx

Amazing news congratulations 🎉 egg collection is a big milestone and what an achievement! You should be very proud xx I've been through egg collection for the first time recently and can relate. I also had to freeze and wait for my next cycle. I've been told to wait for a withdrawal bleed and start monitoring on next cycle xx

Thanks soo much ☺️ it is a big milestone to go through im proud of myself something i thought i never experience, i can totally relate to you i have to wait till my next cycle and then go forward with frozen transfer but it dont seem real right now 🥹 but thank you ❤️

Oh well done for your egg retrieval and wishing you all the best for your transfer. I found the frozen cycle was a lot easier as there is no stimulation meds, and I've also heard that more and more clinics actually recommend freezing where possible as fresh cycle is very demanding on our bodies but with frozen cycle your body has time to recover. Wishing you all the best in your journey. Xx
