Well, had the egg collection last week, we went to the hospital early. I was sedated so just like I was asleep, awake enough at first to tell the anethstatist I could feel what the Dr was doing, so she gave me more sedation to send me to dream land, thank goodness. We were told right after that Dr had collected 12 eggs, so not bad. Average I think. The next 24hours were stressfull, we had to call the next morning to see how many had fertilized. It was horrible waiting, anyway we were put out are misery at 10am. 3 eggs had fertilized, I was quite upset really as the embryologist had expected around 6 or 7 to fertilize. However at least there were 3. And they said they were good quality and she was very happy with them, so that was encouraging. We were booked the next day for single embryo transfer, James was present there so that was good for both of us. I had to have a comfortably full bladder for embryo transfer, unfortunately the hospital were running late so my comfotably full bladder turned out to be so full my bladder wanted to explode, I was taken into theatre and the DR carried out the Procedure, IT WAS AWFUL, i was in so much pain and couldn’t relax as I neded to pee so much, I was squezzing James hand trying not to cry. it should have been like getting IUI, but as my bladder was obviously too full, it made the whole procedure uncomfortable. To make things worse, the embryo decided not to leave the catheter first time round so the whole thing had to be done again. I was awful. The Dr said if we have to do it in the future he will have me sedated so i’m more comfortable, I thought i’m glad about that, but that will obviously more expensive. Thats the other added pressure here always thinking how much it will cost what we can afford and for how long. Its really hard. Our other 2 embryos were frozen, which was excellent as we were told this may not be possible as only 1-3 women are able to have their embryos frozen. So at leadt if we have to try again we wont have to go through drugs, and egg collection. There is still a worry that the embryos don’t survive the freezing /thawing process but we’ll have to keep positive that they were good quality.So now we just have to wait, and wait and wait. Trting to stay positive but its difficult being so in tune with your body, thinking the way im feeling is the same before i get a period. Thank goodness we’re going on holiday, a time to spend together and take our minds off waiting. Time will tell.
