My Eggsperience™
My Journey

Cracking open every round of egg freezing.

…and thawing out every Frozen Embryo Transfer.

One page for every egg freezing round and every Frozen Embryo Transfer: the dates, the medication and the specifics of how it went. For the thoughts written in between, read My Diary.
