So so.....

Retrieval day today, it was quite different than last time, I was in the proper operating theatre rather than the room in the fertility part of the hospital. When I got back to my room they hadn't called my Other Half to 'do his stuff' and that stressed me out as he went off at the same time as me last time. Well that got sorted when he went to ask what was going on.

So the outcome was 6 eggs. If I am honest I'm a bit disappointed. I suppose I should think that a 50% improvement on last time is good, but my thoughts are that there are bound to be some that can't be used, like last time, so there's not much to play with. Mr A also told my Other Half that it was difficult to get the eggs out so I started worrying that they might have been damaged. I didn't see him after collection, or else I would have had him pinned to the wall asking a million questions, so I sent him a text a few hours later to ask about the difficulties, he replied saying there was nothing to worry about.

I got home a few hours ago and have spent the afternoon drifting in and out of sleep, I feel ok, I guess I would say I am a just a bit flat emotionally.

I'll get a call about fertilisation tomorrow, lets hope we get something to transfer. Oh and I forgot how much I missed the progesterone pessaries....nice.

We're gonna cuddle up in front of the tv tonight and watch the England v Germany football match, hopefully it will take my mind off things.

It sounds like a step in the right direction to me. I've got my fingers crossed for a good fertilization report.

I think that 6 is a lovely number. Fertilize eggies, fertilize!! I'll do my funky chicken dance, and wiggle all my crossed fingers and toes for a great report tomorrow.

I know you've heard it before, but you only need one good one that sticks to have a baby! I also was disappointed when I retrieved 8, 7 were mature...and now I'm waiting anxiously to hopefully see the hearbeat of my baby! You got through retrieval- the crappy part. Now you just need to take good care of yourself! I'll be thinking about you and praying for a good result! Good luck!

I am so sorry you feeling low sweetie, to be honest I would too but anything is possible. Try and keep your chin up and i'll be praying so hard for a good fert report in the morning. Praying that those little eggs turn into excellent embies!!
