Terrified the eggs won’t fertilise.

3 Replies

Hi ladies,

I’m looking for some reassurance I suppose, I had my base scan on Friday and I was the triple thingy with a lining of 10.5 which the nurse said was perfect!!!! Thats the first time any medic has said anything positive about my body since I started this journey ! So Naturally I broke down into a weeping mess. my OH is booked for Monday to give his sample and now all I can think about is what if none of the eggs fertilise? We are using an egg donor and have spent everything we have this is our only chance so what if they don’t fertilise I’m finding it hard to focus on anything other than the panic of it not working, the nurse said they are using ICSI is the best chance but I don’t even know that that really means!

I’ve been waiting for 4 years to get to this point what if it doesn’t work how will I cope?

Hope you are all ok on your journeys xxxx thanks

Hey - we were terrified of this too. But 8 of 9 eggs fertilised! :).

With ICSI they have a great chance as it is injected straight in.

But we did not have that done - we just had regular IVF. Was very nervous as I had low dose meds and not many follicles developed. But all worked out ok for Egg Collection and Transfer.

Try to stay positive/hopeful, I know it is really hard.

I just pray it works if all goes well, they said transfer day is Sunday!!
