We only got 5 eggs first time and 6 eggs 2nd and only lost 1 or 2 each cycle at fertilisation stage - 4 turned into blastocysts last time. You have a high chance of having something to put back with 4 so try not to worry. I do understand lower numbers make the calls from the embryologist more stressful, and I always find this harder than the 2ww. Stay positive and sending best wishes your way for the call tomorrow x

Ah bless you.....I have everything crossed for you...wait to hear....Big hugs xx

Hang in there honey, truly the most physically painful part is done now. Take good care of yourself, enjoy a nice long soak in the tub. Once your little bean is growing happily inside they are not allowed😃

4 good quality ones are better than 20 poor quality ones.

Hoping and praying for you💕

Yes good luck with this, you have 4 good ones and that's great news. It must be hard waiting though. I am about to face my first IVF cycle, with down regulators starting on Friday. Was EC painful? I thought it was meant to be painless with sedation? Really hope you are ok and manage to rest up, sleep and relax a little bit. I will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you.

Thanks HopefulAnna ec wasn't painful at the time just after I got home I started to get twinges. It feels like I've been pulled abt inside. A soak in Bath helped. Will get the call today to say if any of the 4 have fertilized. Good luck with your cycle hun.

Thanks again x

Good Luck and remember it's quality not quantity x
