@hopefullykidding: Egg retrieval this summer? Comment what you’re nervous about. I guarantee someone else in here feels the same way. The Fertility Girl Gang was born from this exact convo… and now it’s home to hundreds of IVF girlies supporting each other through every single cycle. If you want to join us, the link’s in my bio. #eggretrieval #ivfjourney #fertilityjourney #ivfsupport #eggretreivalpreparation
I’m nervous about having another batch of poor quality eggs. Even though I had three genetically healthy embryos on my last retrieval, none of them worked out and I learned they were notated as poor quality from the embryologist after the fact.

Retrieval is in 2 days. It’s my 8th retrieval so not a ton of unknowns. But I have DOR so biggest worry is # of mature eggs I’ll get. Also I have a very narrow window from trigger to retrieval. I ovulated on the table once!

I’m nervous that I didn’t do enough research / prep in advance and didn’t start enough “supplements” ahead of time that I keep reading others have been on for months. I’m on BC now and will hopefully get my go ahead to start stims next Thursday 🤞🏼🤞🏼

My retrieval is tomorrow!!! For this, I am nervous about the anesthesia; I’ve never been under. I’m nervous about the PIO shots later in the game.

1st cycle in May didn’t go as planned was canceled before egg retrieval. 2nd cycle follicles were growing. Got to the stage of egg retrieval just today June 23. No eggs were recovered. Every time you go through a cycle our emotions are everywhere not knowing the outcome so that anxiety hits you get nervous and you just pray for the best. Now thinking if I’m going to proceed with a third cycle .. Yes !! We do feel nervous, scared and to be feel all these feelings away from home because my IVF treatment is in another state. Doesn’t help.

I have my second ER next week and I’m so scared I’ll have low numbers again. After two failed transfers that hopeless feeling is creeping in.

First cycle, first retrieval either July 9th or 10th. Appt tomorrow to decide trigger and count follicles. We have MFI, but I’m terrified I’ve done something wrong and they will cancel cycle or tell me none were mature enough.

Nervous that this one is going to be similar to the last that did got one egg that did not grow. Also had an allergic reaction to the lupron that they put me in this cycle, so afraid that they are going to cancel this cycle.

I’ve just emailed the clinic today - after having an unexpectedly early CD1. I felt more ready for July, the fact it’s all due to start from today is just wild to me 🙃

Egg retrieval is scheduled for Sunday, I hope we get some good ones. Recovery scares me. I’ve already made a bunch of freezer meals for retrieval and the 5 days leading up to transfer in case I don’t feel well enough to cook

Bianca Tavares :
My egg retrieval is this Friday. What I am most afraid of at this moment is that my clinic only does conscious sedation (not full anesthesia) and I have vasovagal syndrome. I am afraid to have an episode during ER and they may cancel it.

The egg retrieval, I will be awake during the procedure. Also, the outcome as we are literally putting everything we got into this procedure. 😬
