I just did the procedure ivf . I had 5 eggs, 3 of them had no eggs, 2 of them were 11 mm with eggs. They retrieved the two, but i think they won't be mature. I feel really discouraged, this is my second IVF. Any words of advice. I was on elonva.

We went to a private clinic in Denmark. It took a lot of goes, but it worked. They were very frank about it odds, etc. do they know why you didn't respond? We had our first IVF in the UK, then went to DK as they were more thorough and didn't make any mistakes. Keep positive. We were contemplating cancelling treatment number 6, because I only had 1 follicle. We then decided to go ahead to rule out egg quality issues, etc. one egg. It fertilised and worked! Turns out, I don't respond to the drugs, even though my blood tests are all normal.

Well they aren't very informative. I know that I have a low follicle count, but I think ovulated and the egg released on Friday . I'll need to call them tomorrow morning and see what went wrong. Totally got my hopes down. I really thought we had it this time, 3 good follicles and then empty no eggs. Was this your second time ivf then?

My second IVF where we actually went through with it. We kept switching to IUI as I was only getting 1 egg. Number 6, we decided to go through with it just in case my tests weren't revealing a problem. She just turned 2! IVF number 3 or attempt 7 ended in miscarriage over the summer. we may go for another attempt early spring if we can save up...

Hang in there and good luck! I have done 5 inseminations and 2 failed ivf due to eggs not fertilizing and having empty follicles. It's a long road ahead of this , I think :( my body just doesn't produce many eggs.
