3 day post EC update

[Bumble26]

Had egg collection on Friday and we got 7 eggs. I was a bit disappointed as they had said I have a really good reserve etc so I’d been hoping for more but it only takes 1 I guess. They were able to do ICSI on all of them and 5 fertilised. Just had a call today to say 3 are good quality, 1 average and 1 poor. Transfer booked in for Wednesday morning.

Since EC my positive attitude has gone out f the window and i am so scared and dreading every call expecting the worst news.

I don’t know what’s happened to me! Maybe all the hormones finally caught up with me. Willing myself to be more positive but really struggling. I guess we just try and protect ourselves against the worst. But so far so good!

I think we definitely try & protect ourselves which is why our positivity deserts us at times. I only had 6 eggs collected so also feared the worst. Once I had ET I then worried about getting a BFN & after getting a BFP, I now worry about everything along the way! This is such a painful & stressful process but I hope you get a BFP at the end of it 😘 x

I would say that what you are feeling is completely normal. Sometimes our positivity just jumps out of the window all at once and leaves us feeling down and scared for what's next! We all have days like this....sometimes more down than up once the reality sets in. Sounds like your embryos are coming along nicely. Wishing you luck for a smooth transfer on Wednesday and sending positive vibes!!xx

I’m in a similar position Bumble26. I had 13 eggs collected last week, 10 fertilised and 7 going strong by day 3 so they told us to hold out for 5dt. ET was Saturday just gone and we only had 1 grade B and the others weren’t good enough and we had none to freeze so we literally have all our eggs in one basket! My positivity has nose dived since the goods news up to day 3 but I still have some hope. This is our first ivf cycle and it’s all so stressful isn’t it?! Good luck for Wednesday and stay positive as it really does only take one little embryo 😊 x

Hi guys I was in the same situation we got 11 eggs but only 3 made it our 1st round didn’t work and that was our best one but we are currently awaiting baby girls arrival with our 2nd round so my point is it only takes one. Good luck guys x

It is just one part of the process. If you lose heart, in the beginning, the things will be difficult. Take the things realistically. After such prolonged wait of being TTC, at least you can have the egg collection. It happens to everyone. Not all eggs collected are good. Some eggs have to stay, and some will go to waste. There is nothing to lose hope. Think positive that you have still three eggs to go.
