Thanks @Imisscoffee2021 - I will do x

@Tinkerbell098 no bloods just told to do a test in 3 weeks and if it’s still positive then to call them. It’s been ok this weekend not had any more pain, still feeling a little low but trying to keep busy and just think of plans we have coming up.

@seekingbabyk good luck today! Hope you have a nice sleep and get lots of eggies, and recover well! Xx

seekingbabyk · 03/04/2023 10:04

Thanks @1stcycle just in waiting room. Heart is pounding at the moment but in an hour it'll all be over so not long! I'm glad you're not in any pain and hopefully will be over soon for you. Have you been doing tests yet to see if they are getting lighter?x

@seekingbabyk best of luck with the EC! Hope all goes well x

seekingbabyk · 03/04/2023 11:41

All done girls. 9 eggs retrieved x

Imisscoffee2021 · 03/04/2023 12:18

That's a great number! Got my fingers crossed they're all mature and fertilise well tonight! Amazing work getting your third stim round done, hope you take some time to rest and recover now! Xx

Thanks @Imisscoffee2021 - feel so relieved we are done and not in too much pain either just feel a bit out of it from sedation but nothing an afternoon nap won't sort out 😁

MinBins · 03/04/2023 13:42

Well done @seekingbabyk fingers crossed they'll all come through as embryos sending all the positive thoughts and energy your way! 🎉✨

seekingbabyk · 03/04/2023 13:46

Thanks @MinBins x

Tinkerbell098 · 03/04/2023 14:02

@seekingbabyk amazing number! Take loads of rest and fingers crossed for a great fertilisation rate overnight. Also wishing you a speedy recovery, take it easy X

KLM25 · 03/04/2023 15:12

@seekingbabyk That’s great news 😊 Really pleased for you. Enjoy your afternoon nap, I’m keeping everything crossed for you x

1stcycle · 03/04/2023 15:19

@seekingbabyk amazing number! Rest up and enjoy the rest of the day chilling! I’ve not tested yet no…i probably will soon I ordered a pack of easy at home ones as didn’t want to spend loads on expensive ones just to test out. Hopefully won’t take too long and my cycle gets back to normal.

seekingbabyk · 03/04/2023 16:45

Thanks everyone. 90 min nap feeling a bit more human now but very bloated! Can you all give me your numbers please for retrieved, mature, fertilised and day 5 blasts? I know everyone is different but just want to set my expectations as last time I ended up gutted x

seekingbabyk · 03/04/2023 16:51

@1stcycle yes it's still early too - not even a week so hormones are probably quite high still. Is your Oh coping ok? It must be hard for them as they arent going through it so aren't sure what to do or how to help x

Tinkerbell098 · 03/04/2023 19:23

@seekingbabyk 5 retrieved, all 5 fertilised but only 2 made it to blasts X

seekingbabyk · 03/04/2023 19:23

Thanks @Tinkerbell098 x

Imisscoffee2021 · 03/04/2023 20:03

7 retrieved, 7 fertilised and 6 to blast xx

That was an amazing result @Imisscoffee2021 x

Imisscoffee2021 · 03/04/2023 20:11

We were really lucky for sure @seekingbabyk, I'm so willing your little fellas on for this last round! Xx

OP posts:
seekingbabyk · 03/04/2023 20:13

Yes me too but whatever will be will be. I don't want to get too upset with numbers this time. We have done 3 rounds now. Can't have done any more than that so just need to see what we have to play with in 5 days time. Cracks me up when you say little fellas 😂 x

Imisscoffee2021 · 03/04/2023 20:19

Hehe I just found embryos a bit clinical, I hated the word foetus too! You're right though, can't control things now and what will be will be :) xx

Exactly @Imisscoffee2021 - I can almost hear your northern accent as you say it x

Imisscoffee2021 · 03/04/2023 20:38

I've lost a lot of my accent sadly! 16 years in the south and with my husband for 11 years, I can resurrect it to avoid the worst of the mick taking when I visit home though, just! I was on some social media for work round Halloween was good naturedly rinsed by some old school friends for losing my accent 😅 I'm sure it'll return when I start seeing my family more come September :)

@Imisscoffee2021 do you find if you've had a drink it comes back out? My cousin is married to an Irish guy and I can usually understand him but once he's had a few pints I have no idea what he's saying!
