RESULT – 1 egg collected
not mature so couldn't 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 – 1 egg collected, none frozen

The Emotions

I thought for sure this was going to be my 20th egg and that I was going to put this chapter behind me but it appears that is not the case.  Now I decide do I still try and go for number 20 or do I stop and be happy with the 19 i have got? I don’t have to decide this today.
