EC this morning . 7 eggs retrieved all from left ovary . Follicles in right ovary empty

[Lolepops]

Hi I had egg collection this morning . They retrieved 7 eggs . First time on stimming my cycle was cancelled as I had over 40 follicles so was at risk

Of ohss . Second cycle I had 16 retrieved . Today I had 7 retrieved but all from the left ovary. There were four follicles in the right that were all empty . They told me it was strange but I was still a bit ‘out of it’ so didn’t rEally understand the reason. Not sure they know really . Just wondering if anyone has had this happen? Last time I was quite chilled in the five days wait post EC but this time I feel like I’m going to be on pins due to lower numbers ( I know I am lucky to get any so don’t want to sound negative). I would be overjoyed with just one blast . Thanks In advance xx

Try not to feel disheartened by the numbers, I only got 6 eggs my last cycle but 5 fertilised and 4 made it to top quality blastocysts. Hope your getting plenty of rest and water xx

I know we feel so lucky but similar to how your feeling I was so disappointed after EC when they said they only got 6 eggs so don’t lose hope especially not today xx

Hi, I had about 30 follicules but only 9 eggs collected. I have PCOS so they said sometimes I might have follicules that are empty. I know it’s easy to say but try to relax these next few days if you can, and just remember you only need the one to make a baby. Hope this helps xx

This happened on my last cycle. 4 follicles on each ovary, was sedated and they brought me round to check I'd taken my trigger on time as the 4 on my right they couldn't find an egg although could tell eggs had been in them. They took urine from me and did a preg test to check for the trigger which showed a weak positive and then said they'd put me back under to do my other ovary and flush the follicles first. I then woke up to them saying all 4 follicles on the other ovary contained eggs. They didn't know what had caused it either!

All 4 fertilised but non made it to blast in my case, but could have been sperm issue too.

Good luck for your phone call tomorrow and the coming weeks xx

Aww thanks for reply . How odd ! Don’t think you ever get full answers as to why . Such pot luck with it all . How did you deal with non making it ? Did they not suggest a day two or three transfer ? Dreading the call to be honest . Think it was a sperm factor on our first round as we lost quite a few beyond day three x x x

We had 2 that made it to day 5 but they weren't blasts, they were the equivalent of Day 4. It did gut me a bit but tried to make the best of a bad situation. Sadly ended in bfn though. Xx
