Egg Collection

[Abi47]

Any top tips. Nervous but excited. May only be 4 to collect, hoping smaller ones catch up and grow over weekend. How big is too big?? Lead is 23mm already.

@Coops0406 I'm so sorry. And it's particularly cruel that you've been in so much pain too 💐 I hope you feel better soon.

My fingers are crossed even more tightly for your embryo test results. You're due some good news!

@Holskey thank you...I'll just be glad to stop the pessaries and debloat! It's hard to take but been here before and will be fine...it will work, just got to keep going 🥰

Did you test yet? Wax your OTD yesterday or tomorrow?

@Holskey sorry I was knee deep in work earlier. Tested yesterday and got a positive. My test day is Saturday so hopefully will get a darker line then. How meant days / weeks are you?

@Coops0406 it was last Friday and was +ve. Not tested since. I admire your positivity! But you're right, you've still got a decent number of blasts and hopefully your next transfer will be one that gives you a really great chance 🙏

@EmJay19 Congratulations! 🥳 Wonderful news. Saturday isn't too far off so not long to wait. I'm either 5+1 or 5+2 (I'm not sure which because they transferred 6dpo instead of 5dpo).

@Coops0406 so sorry for what you’re going through. Honestly I think this thing is a numbers game and you will get there! It just doesn’t always work out. So sorry for you xxxxx

@Holskey sorry my brain is everywhere, of course you did 🤦🏾‍♀️ when do you go for your scan?

@EmJay19 thank you. I've been here before with nothing in the freezer so have to count myself lucky that I hopefully have some options still after the results of the PGT-A come back.

Did my "official" test today and still BFN. No more pessaries for me now thankfully. Just wondering when the bleeding will stop as it's longer and heavier than most periods I've had, with no signs of stopping!

@Coops0406 my scan is the 23rd. I guess you don't have a date for your results? I really hope it's brilliant news. And I hope your period stops immediately too 💐

@Holskey not long to go then at all! I hope the waiting isn't too tense! So many waits!

We got a call from the nurse yesterday and 2 out of the 5 embryos are euploid which is great. The rest have been discarded and I think we consented to use for training. The follow up consultation with prof kingsland is on 1st December but the nurse mentioned some tests for my womb that he may suggest so has sent some info over for us to read. So I think they will happen in January if we go ahead with them

@Coops0406 2 euploid is awesome! Do you think there might be an issue with your womb, or is it just precaution so you don't risk wasting one of your precious embryos?

@Holskey I'm so relieved!! I've had 2 implantation fails on what looked like good embryos, but I think that's an embryo issue rather than a womb issue. All 5 of the frozen ones were graded as 5 but only 2 are actually genetically right so I definitely think it's the embryos. But we just don't want to waste this opportunity in case there is anything wrong internally. It's all so gruelling and we really want to do everything we can with this cycle to get there
