So we had our 1st visit to clinic today. Met up with 3 ladies from babycentre whilst there which was awesome. 3 of us had scans today but only 2 of us a progressing to transfer.
Who isnt? Me! As suspected as soon as i saw the dose, im overstimmed and estrogen levels are too high to do a transfer. What will happen instead is that my eggs (20+ follicles on each ovary) will be collected, fertilised and frozen on day 3 and ill come back at a later date for transfer.
I was truly expecting this so im not sad, although i do worry im going to struggle to get back into the right head space, but anything is better than OHSS and being poorly.
Ill either come back on my own for a night, or bring my Mum for a week, ill have to see how quickly i feel i want to do it i guess.
So ive just taken my last stimulation dose and will be doing the trigger tonight at 11.45pm. Next trip to clinic is wednesday morning for egg collection and then im done! A whole week of just holiday, no more meds, can have a drink and really enjoy ourselves.
It is disappointing, but also the right thing to do. I just need to stay in the mindset….but im fighting it all the time.
It was truly wonderful to see Umit and Dr F again and im sure i regonised the nurse too but dont know her name!
So drug free from tomorrow really, eggs out wednesday, home the following tuesday and jobs a good one.
Love, Little Miss PMA xxx
I’m sorry to hear that your plan hasn’t gone exactly to plan. But, I do like your attitude that it’s for the best and I’m wishing you the best with your upcoming retrieval! 🙂

There seems to be more and more literature suggesting a frozen transfer yeilds better results so maybe it is all for the best. Good luck Wednesday!

I echo this. I think this is the best possible outcome for your well being – and time to celebrate your vacation isn’t all bad!

I’m sorry you’re not able to transfer immediately but it’s definitely best for you to be feeling your healthiest when those little embabies go back in.
