Egg collection

[Sheepwalk]

Hi all,

I have just got back from my 5th scan and egg collection is happening Friday. Is there any do and don't see I should be aware of before. They think I have about 9 to collect so all is looking ok at moment.

Hello,

I'm not sure there's much you can do. I just kept eating lots of protein (mainly chicken!), Brazil nuts and pineapple. I also went for some acupuncture which was recommended particularly the day before and day of ET. I don't know whether any of it made a difference but I felt better for being proactive!

Other than that remember no hot baths/hot water bottles and don't do anything strenuous after ET or during the 2ww.

Wishing you the best of luck x

Thank you for the reply. I just can't believe it's finally here after 3 years of waiting.

I know, the whole process is very surreal!
