IVF Panic- forgotten tablets!

Hi,
Freaking out and could really do with some help!

I had my first egg collection last Friday so 3 days ago and when leaving I was told I need to just continue on with the progesterone pessaries and to rest up. Fast forward to today and I’ve just been clearing through the no longer needed boxes of meds etc and found ‘Ellleste Solo 2mg Tablets’ which I’ve discovered I’ve needed to been taking 10mg from the day of egg collection.

Immediate panic!! Husband called the nurse on call and she asked a bunch of questions and just told me to take 5 straight away. She also told us this won’t affect embryo transfer.

But I’m so worried and angry with myself that I could have screwed this all up because I stupidly didn’t check my meds. I looked on my
notes after the retrieval to check on next steps and all it mentions is the continuation of the pessaries and nothing else. The nurse kindly told me she will check my file tomorrow and ring me back but I’m freaking out in the mean time! I really don’t want to have screwed this up and I’m worried now that I’ve potentially done something that could harm our chances… not sure what I’m after here but if anyone has any advice or words of wisdom I’d be very grateful!

Thanks in advance x

Completely understand your stress but try not to worry too much and speak to the nurses again tomorrow when the clinic opens. You’ve done the hard work with the egg collection and medication that is really important e.g trigger shot etc they drill into you.

I am sure it will be ok and you will feel better once you speak with the clinic in the morning. wishing you all the best x
