3rd EC not gone to plan....again 😒

I've been quiet on here recently as have been mentally preparing myself for my last round, but I'm now sat at home so upset after my EC today.

I was sedated and then brought round to be asked if I'd taken my hcg trigger at the time I should, which I had albeit injected 2minutes late. They then extracted urine from me and did a preg test to test for hcg which was a weak positive. They said they had drained 4 follicles on my right ovary all of which contained no eggs!! And they wanted to check with me before doing my left ovary. Because it was a weak positive they decided to carry on so was sedated again and when I came round they told me they had retrieved 4 eggs from my left one. Feel so upset now as it sounds like my trigger didn't work properly so I'm scared the remaining 4 won't be mature enough 😒 I've asked them to ring me this afternoon to let me know if any are mature instead of having to wait till tomorrow which gladly they have agreed. On the plus side my husbands sperm sample was good, so a massive improvement on last time, but no good if there's no mature eggs! So now the wait for the call. Just feel so deflated, upset and a failure right now 😒

I hope that most of you eggs will be mature enough.

In any case one of the gametes (sperm) is in good condition, so you still have some chances.

Even if it`ll be another "round".

Hope the fantastic four all fertilise for you. I don't think after a GA I would be able to answer questions on anything!
