| Friday 10 February 2017 | 7:30am UK time visit Dr. Collection's stand-in Scan – follicles still there RESULT – 3 eggs collected |
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 collected and frozen
This round has been extra long with the introduction of the growth hormones daily from three days before my period and I don’t know how much impact they have had on the success of this round and I will never know but I’m glad I tried it because it has enabled me to get another 3 eggs.
With 15 eggs in the bank and the hope that I can get that number to 20 before I finish this journey it feels now that i am nearing the end and that is such a great thought!
