EC Tomorrow

Post by Sarah Jayne »

Hi everyone,this is my first treatment of icsi we have low sperm count about 8 million but all with good motility etc.I am going for my ec tomorrow morning, feeling nervous about it all. They said i was ready on day 8 of my injections for collection, she said my ostrogen level was at 5000 and therefore they could possible freeze them all but it is all up in the air at the moment.<br>She said that she thought i would have around 30 eggs i cant believe this is right how would she know? <br>Is anybody else at a similar stage to me, i didnt know about this site, it is difficult my DH & parents are fantastic , i have my parents living with me at the moment they are in the middle of moving house, life is quite stressful at the moment but i am trying to keep calm and positive.

Hi Sarah Jayne<br><br>Just want to say that I hope all goes well with EC tomorrow I will be thinking about you. You must have a lot of follies but please note its not saying you will get eggs from every one but the clinic say 30 eggs to you then they must see quite alot of follies.<br><br>I had 12 follies and they got 7 eggs from mine and 5 was suitable for fertilisation, 2 took and now I am pregnant with 1 baby.<br><br>Hope all works out for you, keep us updated.<br><br>Love <br><br>Shell.<br>xx
