Day 20: One Day Post-Op

Day 20 and I am very very sore after yesterday's procedure.

There were a lot of complications and even the Clinic admitted that it was a very difficult egg collection.

Anyway, they managed to collect 21 eggs yesterday.

15 were of good enough quality to inject with sperm.

The Clinic rang this morning to say that 11 of the injected eggs had survived the night and were developping into embryos.

The lab technician said that some of them were looking very good and developping nicely and others were looking quite average but it was too early to say for certain yet.

They said nothing will change by Tuesday, so we have to return to the Clinic on Tuesday morning for a scan to make sure that I havent developped any symptoms of Ovarian Hyper-Stimulation Syndrome, and we will discuss whether we want to have the embryos implanted on Tuesday (Day 3) or wait til they become blastocysts and transfer on Thursday (Day 5).

So, for now, its bedrest, plenty of pain killers and copious amounts of fluids.......
