Egg Collection

This morning, at 7:45, the doctor retrieved 11 eggs from me, and we're going to have ICSI.

We had a very good talk with the embryologist after the proceedure, and what with my 39 year old eggs that are not chromosomally perfect and DH's sperm which had 85 abonormal forms, it was the right option for us this time. We had planned to have IVF but the embryologist was excellent and went into some detail about both proceedures, and we went with her recommendation of all ICSI.

The phone call tomorrow morning will let me know how many fertilised. (very scary)

I don't have the excruciating pain in the shoulder that I had with the last egg collection - they must have avoided that nerve this time! - but I am feeling very tender down below. I have had one voltarol suppository and two paracetamols, but I am still sore.

From now on it's two cyclogest suppositories per day and one baby asprin. No mention of clexane yet (which is nice!).
