As I was replying I realised the thread has reached the limit.
I thought I'd create a new thread for us all to keep in touch.

Oh bless you @Melisss. I am nervous but focusing on keeping myself distracted.

@Melisss you’ve got this…tomorrow’s procedure will be better than you are imagining. Get your comfy outfit on and bring some salty snacks, warm water bottle, anything that keeps you comfy.

🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 for all of you collecting tomorrow or this coming week.

@MoonlightDreamer I am over the moon ecstatic for you…my goodness, 18yrs on the making, nothing makes me happier than seeing women who have dreamed for this moment for so long getting their positives! ❤️ keeping you in my 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for a nice/easy ride! 🤰🏻

@Hopingforno2in2023 same ! My left side is throbbing today 😂 roll on 830 am to go in and get the job done ..
@Melisss just think there’s another two of us doing this and we can all have a chat about it after you got this🤞🩷

Hi everyone. Had egg collection yesterday. Started with 7 follicles, which turned into only got 4 eggs (others weren't mature enough)and now it's gone down to only 2 embryos that successfully fertilized.
Feel really nervous now that they aren't going to make it. 🫣😞😞😞

@Kitt86 ah keep thinking them positive thoughts it only takes one 🩷🤞 how was egg collection ? Are you feeling ok after it

Ermm, it's my second egg collection . My advice would be drink loads right up until midnight before EC I didnt do this and regretted it as they struggled to get bloods as was so dehydrated and I got terrible constipation 😂😂
Hopefully I make it to transfer day, as transfer day for me is the best. Everyone is happy and excited and personally I love the experience of seeing the little embryo go in. I feel like this bit waiting for them to develop is harder than 2ww 🫣 for me personally.
Thinking of all of you.
Good luck for EC tomorrow ladies!! You got this xxx

@Kitt86 oh Jesus !!!! I’m more worried about that than egg collection 😭😂 !! 🤢

@Kitt86 sorry you got less eggs than you expected but I really hope the 2 you have are soldiers and make it. 🤞

Good luck today @Melisss and @Millie89xx.

I am so nervous

@Hopingforno2in2023 good luck to you too @Melisss oh same they’ve kicked in this morning I’m leaving in 20 mins I’ve got to be there 730 I’m flapping thinking I’ve ovulated praying it all goes ok 😭🤞

@Millie89xx and @Hopingforno2in2023 good luck ladies!
I am also getting ready and my nerves are out of control 😅

Good luck to those getting egg collection today! Hope you all get lots of lovely eggs ☺️

@Kitt86 fingers crossed those too are the ones ☺️ will you get a day 3 update?

@MoonlightDreamer over the moon for you, congratulations 🥰

@NewBee21 hope your test this morning was positive, I also seen a very faint line on the boots one too I think! Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

I'm only 2 days past transfer and it's driving me nutty 😂 I had loads of cramps in my left side last night, I'm assuming it's just everything still setting from EC etc.
I also have thrush (tmi) sorry guys! My clinic said the external cream is fine to use, then I'm worried it's going to harm things. Any other solutions to help anyone please?

Best of luck to all those getting EC today! 🍳🍳🍳 and don’t worry it will all be over before you know it! Xx

@User491 I think I get a day 3 update. I bloody hope so coz I can't handle the anxiety of knowing what's happening to them just yet. Can't work out if that's today or tomorrow? EC was Monday, but they called first thing on Tuesday to say 2 had fertilized. So does Monday count as day 1?

@Kitt86 i think we are on the same timeline with EC on Monday? They told me Tuesday would day 1 and I would get a call on Thursday for a day 3 update and would transfer on day 5 which would be Saturday. Hope this helps xx

@Rosesinbloom19 yeah well that's what I thought but they did tell me there was a small chance I could end up with a 3 day transfer which surely they would need to tell me today 🫣🫣 I'm hoping it's a 5 day as I already have acupuncture booked for Saturday morning!! And my boyfriend can't come if it's on a Thursday so would really mess it up for me.
Hope your little embabies are cooking along nicely 🍀

@Kitt86 ah I see! So yeah if they are potentially doing a 3 day transfer then they would let you know today I’d imagine? Can you call them maybe early afternoon and check? Hoping it’s Saturday and works with your timeline! So much anxious waiting isn’t it it’s horrible!? Fingers crossed for you too! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@User491 I also had a bit of thrush through Stims and my clinic said to increase probiotic food,( yogurts, kefir, low sugar diet) drink cranberry juice and don’t use soap.

I have also heard that natural yoghurt used like an external cream can give some relief. Although best to ask your clinic.

Good luck 🤞🏻 to all you ladies going in for egg collection! It's normal to be anxious but it'll be over before you know it!

Hey ladies ! Egg collection was fine .. they got 13 eggs ❤️🤞 praying for lots of embryos making it

I have survived! 😅 I was a mess when I walked it, had hugs from most of the people there 😅 i am so happy it's over, I feel so much mental relief.
We have collected 7 eggs. I am happy with that, it is what it is. Hoping to get some fertilised. We get a call tomorrow.

@Melisss well done I knew you would get through it !!!! How you feeling ? I’m quite tender all over lower belly rest day for me today

@Millie89xx I don't feel anything. I woke up and had the biscuits and tea they gave me. And then I needed to pee really bad which they said it's a great sign and that I can leave.
I have the rest of the week off which I am happy about. I just want to chill

@Hopingforno2in2023 how did you get on ??

Well done ladies. Rest easy for the day
