Feeling excited but very nervous

So after a long wait we are almost there - donor egg collection scheduled later this week, my flight out to Spain is booked and the hotel, ready for transfer next Tuesday, all being well. And I’m suddenly feeling very anxious. So many what if questions in my head. And a massive worry for me is my cold feet! Sounds ridiculous but I struggle to keep my feet warm, especially at this time of year and I’m worrying this will affect implantation. No matter how thick my fluffy socks are, my feet are still cold. I fly home on the evening of transfer day - hopefully this won’t affect anything, but I’ve got that on my mind as well. Any reassurances from anyone greatly appreciated x

good luck to you!!! have you thought of using a hot water bottle for your feet? I've heard it is ok to flight on the same day but i would suggest you to ask the airport not to go through the x rays. <3

good luck! I had the same problem…. I found a warming foot cream together with super thick socks helped 😁

I have raynaunds disease so my feet and hands are always cold I wear think socks and use hot hands foot warmers which help. You can buy them in packs of 2 and they last around 6 - 8 hours. You can get them in most supermarkets or Boots. I'm sure having cold feet won't have an impact but I know it's hard not to worry about every little thing. Good luck x
