| Monday 10 October 2016 | 9am UK time egg collection RESULT – 3 eggs collected 11am – embryologist told me all were mature and good quality and could be frozen |
Note: I didn’t have blood tests done at every scan. The scan results usually determined when and what I needed to have my blood tested for. Keeping the blood tests to a minimum helped keep costs down a little.
RESULT – 3 eggs of good quality collected and frozen
I am not sure why, but there was something about reaching round 10 that made it feel like I am almost there! Maybe it is because I am so close to getting the 10 eggs I so desperately wanted when I started or because I know that my body may not hold out with this torture for too much longer, either way it is a good feeling.
