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 – 1 egg collected and frozen
The Emotions
I was slightly disappointed that I only managed to collect one egg during this round. I should be happy that it was one more but I just so wanted to hit the 20 number I have been aiming for. Anyway one is definitely better than none!
