The day before
I was stressed. My abdominal pain hadn’t completely gone and in the evening I had direahea. Why was this happening to me?! Hubby kept blaming me and said I am doing this to myself, I need to keep calm – he’s right but it’s a lot easier said then done. 😦
Egg update
The embryologist had a chat with us, we were so disappointed to be told that we only had 2 good quality eggs. The rest had died!!!! We were absolutely gutted!!!!! That meant after we did the transfer, only one would be frozen meaning we would have to do a FET next time with 1 egg with the risk that it may not thaw successfully. Our hearts sank. We asked to embryologist to repeat this as we were so shocked!
OHSS
Since egg collection my breathing as been really bad. I struggled walking from the car park to the clinic. I was so out of breath when I reached. Also my mouth is constantly dry so I’ve been sipping on water all day. I informed the doctor and they said
- Your OHSS may get worse if you fall pregnant with the egg we transfer today. We can not predict how worse but it may. You pregnancy may be tough and if your breathing becomes really bad we may need to drain your lungs. Are you willing to take the risk and go ahead with the transfer today?
Without even discussion, hubby and I said Yes!!!! We got this far – there was no way we were going to not have an egg transfered!!! We were upset and deflated.
Transfer
We put on our gowns and went into theatre. The nurse put in a catheter which was uncomfortable and I had abdominal pain too. Nothing I couldn’t cope with, but it was definitely the most uncomfortable transfer. We were shown on screen the embryo and hubby took a quick pic. Fingers crossed this works!!!
