Well we went in and Mandy had already been taken into theatre so I didnt get to see her at all then cam went to his little room and an hour passed and I was beginning to wander what had happend to him !!!! I then heard a voice calling me , yes you guessed it he needed help!!!! anyway after the ordeal of egg collection etc we have ended up with 11 eggs but only 7 are Mature enough to use so I guess thats good news , I then waited for Mandy to come round so I could thank her but unfortunately she didnt want to see me

so you can imagine all sorts of things are running through my head CAN SHE PULL OUT THE PLUG??????? I have rung the clinic and they said she has left and seemed fine , Im sure she would have said something to them before EC if she was having second thoughts! WOULDNT SHE ? I am going Bananas here I need reasurance everyone PLEASE HELP ME !!!!! I find out tomorrow at 3pm how many fertilised. From a very stressed cycler Trace X

Traci You poor thing, you must feel like your going nuts! I am sure Mandy would not let you both get this far and then decide to change her mind. Good news on your eggs. Good luck for tomorrow. Try not to worry, I am sure everything will be fine with Mandy. Love HayleyX

hi traci you know your self what it is like to go through ec, it is not very nice. Mandy might be glad it is all over as she has had all those nasty drugs in her. Could she feel she could of done better and is really worried that she might of let you down. We know that having 7 eggs is great but she might of wanted more to give you the best chance.Even if she changed her mind god forbid, she would not beable to stop you using them as your dh has the same rights. I'm sure she would not do that anyway. well try not to worry and I hope all goes well with et. hope I have put your mind at rest and wishing you all the best as i know you have been through so much. from july ann

Traci, glad to hear it all went well! Don't you worry too much - its a funny old business having the eggs collected and you don't quite feel yourself afterwards and really dont feel up to seeing anyone for a while. We had 7 eggs this time so its a good number don't fret. Only a little further to go now. We couldnt be praying any harder or hoping any more for anybody to succeed with this Trace. You'll soon be on the 2ww - so excited for you. Stay positive positive positive. I'm going to light a candle for YOU tonight so relax as much as poss. Jo. XXXXXXXX

Traci great news I echo what Jo says have a relaxing night everything will be fine. Mandy probably just wants some space to get her head round everything I'm sure she will be fine in a few days. Good luck for tomorrow I'll be waiting by my computer to find out how you got on!! Big hugs Aly x

oh trace, what a rollercoaster for you. I'm sure Mandy would have said something to the clinic before she left if she had wanted to pull out. I think it's more likely that she felt disappointed in the numbers of eggs she got, maybe partly for you, partly for herself in that she may be concerned about her own fertility (gotta factor that one in). I think if people have IVF for the first time they think that the aim is to get the maximum numbers of eggs whereas you and I know that the greater the number of eggs, the lower the quality generally and vice versa. I'm sure if she had realised that, she would have been happy to speak to you. It's all probably been frenetic with her what with the move and working etc at the same time. I'm sure she will be fine to talk in a few days. This weekend I was having a drink with my neighbours across the road. They know I am having IVF (as does practically the whole village!) and are very supportive. Their daughter donated some eggs to a friend for IVF treatment but they admitted it was a difficult time for her as some people out there find it a difficult concept to deal with. We all know of people like this and Mandy has probably had to deal with insensitive comments from friends etc about the whole thing. I know one of my oldest mates has been totally insensitive throughout my treatment almost to the point when I now don't want to ring her as she is likely to comment on how "weird" the whole process is or some such lovely comment. great eh? anyway am prattling on. all I wanted to say is that once she has a good rest and is drug-free she will I'm sure get in touch with you. hope this analysis has helped!! {{{BIG HUG}}}} beckym xxx

Trace Don't worry about Mandy's reactions today, we all feel really s**t after ec, the drugs really mess with you. On my EC I was not right all day and I only had a local and some sedatives. Well done 7 eggs, lucky 7. Not long now to ET. Big hugs Vicki B

hi trace, just wanted to add that Im thinking of you. I think you and mandy are amazing, and i feel for both of you. it must be so emotional for mandy as well as forpoor old you. I cant imagine what you must be feeling right now. I dont think for a minute mandy would pull the plug on you. I just hope you manage to get together and have a chat soon. Youre doing really well girl. lots of love and a big hug kathryn x

Dear Traci, Oh gawd! Just read your email. I wouldn't take it to heart that Mandy didn't want to see you.... To be so generous to do this for you - her heart is definitly in the right place. Try and be calm, and relax now. GGAAAAAAAAAAAAWD I know that is difficult.. No caffeine, lots of sleep etc.. I am right behind you, although yesterday's scan (7 day one) was rather suspect. I was a bit tearey. The consultant was new, and a bit waffley and inexperienced. I wanted to get hold of the policeman's batton and push meself!!! There were a few follicles, but to be honest not many - 6 if that... AND I am on double the ammount... will probably post a separate message. Will log on later, to hold your hand xxx
