Its Time!!!!

I had another ultrasound and blood test this morning and this afternoon recieved the exciting news that egg pick up will be Thursday morning sometime!

 This morning i was super calm at my ultrasound compared to normal, in fact so calm i never asked how big the biggest follie was or even how many there were. In my previous post i mentioned i had 20 follicles on each side. Instead i lay there completley calm and dare i say it relaxed,  for someone who had a probe shoved up their veejeejay.  That was until the radiographer started counting the follicles on my right ovary, she got to 29 -  29 FREAKING FOLLICLES!

I froze. I freaked. I said nothing.

I have no idea how many were on the other ovary i never asked and she never counted out loud.

You see i have overstimulated on my very first ICSI cycle way back in 2008. Despite having PCOS and getting 18 eggs at epu my dr never touched on the fact i could get OHSS and so it was only when i couldn't walk and felt like i had water sloshing around inside me that i demanded a BT and was found to be severley overstimulated and put on immediate bed rest.

I'm going to trust in the process though. I have done so many cycles and things finally look like they could be looking up for me. I have had my endometriosis removed and we have recieved this amazing grant where our cycle is fully funded. 

This cycle I will get lots of good qualitiy eggs that will fertilise. I will get the PGD testing done and i will have unaffected embryos to transfer and i will get my miracle baby.

Fingers crossed anyway!

OMG Jo that is a lot of follie's. But they know about your PCOS and hopefully they are managing it perfectly - which I am sure they are. wishing you all the best xx
