I’ve had constant pain since egg pick-up. Anything abdominal that could hurt, has. Finally some relief this morning - I was able to roll over in bed without wanting to moan. It’s been freaky and exhausting. The 7 weeks of wacky hormone drugs was much more fun.
Details…
17 ovarian follicles (about 2 cms each) out of which we got
12 eggs of which
8 fertilised of which
6 divided normally
so,
we put one back in, and chucked the other 5 in the deep freeze when we got home (um…just kidding). The other five fertilised eggs are in liquid nitrogen at about minus 200 deg Celcius. They won’t all survive thaw, but we should get another few attempts if this one doesn’t stick.
If the little pip is still ‘alive’, it is an early blastocyst. It’s not very pretty. I’m looking forward to the weeks when it has a tail. So cool.
