To the freezer!

So last week was all about the scans and blood tests. I went to the hospital every other day because my FSH levels were high and I'm at high risk of developing Ovarian Hyper Stimulation Syndrome (OHSS http://www.hfea.gov.uk/fertility-treatment-risks.html).

I only had 9 days on the Gonal F as I developed the eggs pretty quickly. A nurse called me on the Thursday afternoon to tell me that I needed to do the late night injection (Ovitrelle) on Saturday night at 9.30pm and that the egg collection will be on the Monday and to be at the hospital for 7.10am.

She also said that because I'm a high risk candidate for OHSS the embryos will be frozen and we'll have to do a frozen cycle in 2-3 months. I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand I'm relieved to have a bit of a break. On the other hand I'll have to go through all the injections again (apart from the follicle stimulating hormones, thankfully). Oh well, there's not much I can do but get on with it.
