    Hi Guys, got back from collection, amazingly they got 7 eggs from me, considering this times last week I thought it was all off I cannot believe it (even 2 more than last time!). For some reason this time I didn't full fully asleep, but was sedated enough for it not to me painful. This may be tmi but when we were walking back to the car I felt a massive clot come out. Since going to the loo it was something I have never seen before?!!! I feel fine so probably nothing, Probably all that prodding around they were doing!!

    Just go to wait for the dreaded phone call tomorrow morning eecckk!

    Big zippy - Arn't follk just great (huggs) xx

    Jujugaboo - I was on 3 x powders to 1 x water I had to do this twice for 2 injections.

    Runner - I hope your ok xx

    When I had my first egg collection, I felt the needle go from each side of my vagina into the ovary. Didn't feel the ovarian bit just this hard pressure and sharp pain on either side of my mooer. Felt like a holepunch :( Not nice. They gave me more drugs on the next go!

    You do bleed a bit (from where they go through the vaginal wall). I expect the clot was just this coming away.

    Congrats on the numbers. 7 is fantastic, particularly as they took a while to get going :) Hope they've all fertilised and are growing nicely.

  • Hi All,

    Had phone call this morning and we have 4 little embabies! They said they expect 50% to fertilize so out of 7 that is just over 50% which is great.

    They have said it will either be Tuesday or Thursday I have my transfer they will phone me again tomorrow to let me know.

    Please, please let there be enough for a 2 embryo transfer and a cheeky one to freeze :)

    Oh and I mentioned about the clot and they said it was nothing to worry about, just if I start to bleed loads to go to A & E. I have had just very mild bleeding which is fine.

    Big zippy I have had 2 friends have 2 kids each since we have been trying. Its not easy is it x

    We've Been trying for 12 months with no joy so we now want to book with the doctors. Can you please advise me what we can expect on the first visit, and should we go in together?

    Thanks
