I went in today for my EC. I had a scan on Monday which showed 7 follicles, another on Wednesday which showed 1 had disappeared, 2 had stopped growing leaving me 4 big ones. We were told the devastating news that they only got 1 this morning.
That news felt like a massive punch in the guts, I'm totally devastated. My husbands sperm wasn't great either, we were planning on having ICSI but they have now said they don't want to risk it, so will try IVF. We will get a call before 12 tomorrow to tell us if our little lone embie has made it.
In all my other goes I've had 5 or 6 eggs so to only get one this time is a big shock. I'm feeling like this is natures way of telling me that I'm at the end of the road with my own eggs. I've been very teary all day as this is such a big thing to get my head round.
I know I shouldn't give up until it's really over but I feel like I'm just going through the motions, with so many failures under my belt before I just can't see a happy ending.
I will wait for our call tomorrow but rather than feeling optimistic I'm dreading it.
It's really been a shitty few months, I hope the future holds some happiness for us.
Big hugs to you all xxx

Sorry to hear this and your obviously upset, try and focus on your one special little egg it might just be the one that pulls through and makes your dreams come true xxx
I have everything crossed for you. This crazy process come pre-packaged with so many expectations, I think this is why it is so difficult to cope with. Expectations that are met or exceeded or dashed...it really is a rollercoaster
May the next 24 hours give you a fighter and the success that you so wish for! I hope happiness wins the day xx
So sorry to hear you've had such a difficult day Hannah. Will be keeping everything crossed that your one little egg is a fighter and you get good news tomorrow. Xx
Oh hunny this is so sad for you. I understand how you must feel. I know it's hard but as we have seen on here many times it really does only take one so if you can try to focus on your one fighting egg..I will have everything crossed xxxx
Oh Hannah143, I was in this boat 3 weeks ago and know exactly the upset and anxiety that your feeling. My one made it to transfer so I really hope your little 1 is the strongest one and makes it over night and keeps fighting. Sending you a huge hug xxx
Keep focussing on that egg and hoping it has the same determination to get this far that it will continue and succeed. Don't think too much about what is next until you have to. Big hugs xx
