This is my first post on here and my first IVF cycle.
I have a Q- apparently I have 30 follicles stimulated on each ovary ... 3 above 14mm so EC has been arranged and quite a few largish ones on each side also. They reckon more will be ready...
Is this figure not a lot of follicles?? Is it likely theyl all be collected and fertilised?
They did say it will take a good 20mins EC! But we're quite positive all round... I'm just a little worried now that I will Overstimulate /have a painful EC
Is 60 a lot?? The most I've read on here is 30 follicles. I'm 32, with pcos

Thanks for replying emu... Now that I think about it she did say more likely less than half will stay immature so I guess it will be closer to 30follicles. Also no guarantee how many eggs will be released/mature enough !
I've had 6 months of hell running up to the IVF but the actual process has gone very smoothly! I'm wondering if the luck is about to run out...
Lol yes the pcos is finally paying off. The follicles suddenly increased in size over weekend so fair few large ones... But my problem in past has always been Anovulation. Let's hope this pays off
I have PCOS and anovulation too and the only benefit of it was all the eggs when it came to Ivf! I had 40 odd follicles and had been worried about overstimulating but when it came to ec, they got 19 eggs, saying that some were either too small or that they couldn't get to them. I did end up having them all frozen as bloods were too high and I was at risk of Ohss. It all worked out though as I'm now 15 weeks pregnant from our first try!
I'd advise as the others have said, drink as much water as they've advised and look forward to getting what should be a great number of eggs. Best of luck x
Thanks! That's what I'm a little worried about too @ eggs too small or difficult to get too. My bloods and hormones have been absolutely fine so far and they gave me an extra Gonal f night too... But I had the trigger injection yday and I'm feeling the effects today. Def very lethargic nauseous and dehydrated. I'm hoping I don't have full on OHsS- was hoping for embryo transfer soon- but I guess what's for the best will happen.
Great number of eggs though and congratulations on getting pregnant! You give me hope 🙏
I’ve just had my scan today and it revealed 85 follicles 😩. I have a few leading so glad to read this post as fingers crossed I have good quality eggs and avoid OHSS (currently symptom free at Day 8)
That’s good news! Unfortunately I was a little overstimulated but mildly and went ahead with embryo transfer... it didn’t work. Now I wonder if it was to do with the pessaries dosage or if i should have frozen and delayed embryo transfer.
Reading the reply above from kelc86 she had OHSS and delayed it.
Sorry to bring this up to you at a time like this but it is def worth considering what you will do.
We are due a frozen FET cycle soon so it’s given me hope it will work!
