egg retrieval advice

N

hi everyone who is going through the mad journey that is <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">ivf</a> this year! i have had my last stim and trigger injection last night! booked to go in for my egg retrieval tomorrow morning…really excited to have made it to this point but also feeling the nerves and anxiety kicking in massively now. so far we have counted 12 follicles in total at my scan yesterday, 5 of them are measuring between 17 and 19mm, the other 7 that they were able to see are all sitting between 10 and 15/16mm. is it likely the smaller ones will grow any more between pulling the trigger and going in for the retrieval? i have a “lower than expected for my age” amh level of 6.52pmol/L and am nearly turning 26. no other issues found with myself or partner. also wondering what i should pack for the hospital? only really been told to bring some slippers, a house coat, clean underwear and some pads for any post op bleeding. also been advised to bring a book or some magazines for ward entertainment whilst we wait for the embryologists to advise us of the eggs retrieved. overall though really looking forward to seeing how many eggs we manage to get and what’s to hopefully come after the transfer. best of luck to everyone on this journey and my heart goes out to you all! feel free to message me if you want to chat/vent i am here for everyone who needs a fellow <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">ivf</a> friend! 💕🪺
