| Friday 27 October | fly to the UK | |
| Saturday 28 October | 7:30am arrive at clinic for scan~7:45am egg collection RESULT – 2 eggs collected 11 am – called embryologist neither egg was mature so none 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 – 2 eggs collected, none mature so none frozen
