One follicle, stage 4 endometriosis, going for egg collection

So I'm feeling really nervous. I 've started my injections over a week ago and had my scan today and was told they can only see one follicle. My amh is really low so not too surprised but was really hoping there would be more as a week and a half ago they saw three follicles. The debate was should I have the egg collection or not? It's alot of money, not sure if there is an egg in the follicle and if it will be healthy. We've decided to gamble and go for it. It maybe our lucky egg! I have stage 4 endometriosis, one failed cycle, 4 laparoscopies, one tube gone, cysts in both ovaries, very complicated situation. I don't no how I will take the news if it's another fail. Some days I feel so alone. Next difficult plan/discussion would be donor eggs. Has anyone else having to go through a similar situation and had a good result?

I've not been in this situation personally, but have heard of someone getting pregnant via IVF with a single follicle.

Have you had specialist fertility counselling yet via your clinic? Might be worth asking them if they have someone in house to help with the decision/any possible disappointments/etc.

Fertility treatment is such a rollercoaster, even worse when you throw endo into the mix. Really hoping this is your lucky egg.
