Wednesday 13 December 2017 | 10am egg collection RESULT – 3 eggs collected and 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 collected and frozen
The Emotions
I was beyond happy with the results of this round. Getting three eggs mature and frozen from three follicles was something I never imagined for this round. Historically the results have always been a little disappointing and worse that hoped for. This time the results were so much better than expected and so I was thrilled to be moving into 2018 with three more frozen eggs
