IVF egg retreival how do they do it?

[Aphrodite]

I too have been worried about the egg collection.

Fleur-Your post could have been me writing it. I too have a severe vomiting phobia Its miserable isn't it?

First of all its nothing to do with ur hubby's age. Im 26 and my hubby is 29, and has low count, motility, abnormal morphology-The lot! lol. And we are teetotal non smokers. Its just bad luck

I am in Luton and have been given the choice of St Barts, Bourn Hall, Hammersmith and Oxford. Bourn Hall looks lovely, I like the fact it is not a hospital, that might help me be more relaxed as I am the worlds worst patient! They have a 50% success rate, but Im not sure of their policy on how many eggs they transfer. St Barts transfer 2 but have lower success rates. Very hard decision to make, it will be between those 2, we are not sure yet.

Yes, look into the policy on how many attempts you get as it does vary from trust to trust. We get 3 FRESH transfers and then 3 frozen provided our embryos are suitable for freezing and re-use.

I am very nervous about it all, this is the woman who was almost sick with fear having my first smear test!!!

I have had sedation and anasthetic (for dental work! ) and I cope well with both. Sedation is great, the midazolam acts as an amnesiac, so you dont remember anything afterwards. If you do, its like ur remembering a dream, and its all over by then anyway.

Some people can be sick after an anasthetic, just depends on you. More women are sick after gynae procedures such as a lap and dye, though, as they fill the stomach with air during the procedure.

When are you starting your treatment Fleur? BTW your dog is adorable I am looking to get one, what breed is it?!!

hello, aphrodite, my dog is a shar pei they are a lovely breed, they get a lot of bad press but as with any breed aslong as they are brought up properly they are a fantastic dog to have, i know it's sad but my two are like my best mates!! I was reading the pm you sent me i cant belive how alike we are! only difference is i cant belive your training to be a nurse! i get a panick attack just walking into a hospital! i am also t'total wish i could say the same for my husband. I liked the look of bourne too, i think if i get the option i will definatly go there, have you had your first appointment yet? im off to mine tomorrow, am absolutly petrified of having that lap-dye done i've decided though if i can be awake then i will be for that and egg collection i have never been put asleep before and i know so many people are sick once they wake up i just couldn't see myself doing it, i just hope there is someway i can slip out of lap-dye! (i know i wont just wishful thinking!) hopefully i will find out tomorrow when we can start!!! xxxxxxxxx

I had my eggs removed this morning to give to the other person to have a child with her partner
And all they do when ur in the room is get you to lay down. Put the drip needle in ur hand then put some liquid through the tube put a mask on ur face and not even a second later ur asleep. You do wake up in pain because they have retrieved the eggs but the going to sleep part is fine. I was terrified and I was completely out of it and didn't even realize what happend. A lot of women don't get much pain but I'm a very tiny person and weigh 40kg so I'm in a fair amount of pain buy they do give u pain killers if needed
