hi everyone!!

sorry got home and went straight to bed and just got up! I feel quite nauseous and woozy. the EC was horrible, I cried all the way thought I didnt feel barely any sedation and quite a bit of pain it surprised me as Id read about people dozing off and waking up in recovery....I was aware of everything. at one point she found it hard to get to some eggs so the nurse had to press down on my tummy and that was awful. But they got 20 eggs! will find out tomorrow how many were mature and how many they injected. hope it was worth it, right now I cant say I would do this again but perhaps with more sedation I could. I felt quite tired after in recovery so perhaps I had a delayed reaction.

thank you all for your messages, you are all such great support

Sarah so sorry you had a bad experience..I was totally sedated during but was very sore afterward . You'll be sore for a few days if they had problems getting to the eggs. Wow girl!! 20 freaking eggs you're in with a fantastic chance!!!

I really felt I wouldn't do IVF again after the horrible experience I had and honestly after a week or so you forget how bad it was

Oh Sarah hun I'm sorry it was painful

But is really exciting they got 20 eggs...thats a great start #

Sarah - glad it went well (minus the painful part) Wow 20 eggs! Are you planning on any acupuncture or other complementary treatments on transfer day? I've read that it can increase pregnancy rates from 36% to 51%.

 

[LLbean]

Woah that sounds really bad... I was completely out! Well you got 20 eggs that is awesome!!!!

 

[GreenFingers]

Oh I am sorry, I know you were most worried about that part too! Why didn't they make sure you were totally out? I haven't heard of anyone being conscious during it. Try and forget about it now and focus on the fact that you got 20 eggs, that is amazing!

Can't wait to hear how many fertilise today x x

Wow! 20 eggs is amazing!!! Can't wait for today's update Sarah!! You did fantastic!!

 

[GreenFingers]

Hi Hockey - how you doing?

 

[hockey24]

Greenfingers - I had my IUI yesterday morning. We had 4 mature follies that hopefully released eggs (hoping at least 1 of them is a good one!). DH's count was 171 million post wash with 69% motility. Down a little from last month but still very good.

So the dreaded TWW has begun!!! I'm a little more relaxed this go round as I have it in my head that this is just part of the road to IVF but if we hit a BFP along the way, I will be ecstatic!

Thanks for asking!!

Is your appointment this week? You must be so excited and stressed at the same time! Your wait makes the TWW look like a mini vacation!!

 

[GreenFingers]

oh wow 4 follicles is good with IUI isn't it. Is this your last before ivf or do you have 1 more?

Good luck to you this month
