Egg retrieval

So I had egg retrieval yesterday, part of me disappointed we only managed 4 eggs and worried if any will get fertilised. 😥 if I get any decent ones to be put back in this weekend, how can I maximise my chances of getting pregnant?

Hi Starfish. Hope you’re feeling okay after your egg collection. I got four eggs on my last egg collection and two fertilised. I felt disappointed initially like you but remember it’s not all about quantity, it only takes one high quality one! Fingers and toes crossed you get good news on your update call today. xx 🤗

We have just heard, two of our six eggs have fertilised. We will get another update call on Sunday before they freeze them. Very relieved. Wishing you lots of luck and positive thoughts for your transfer. 😊🐣 Xx

I only had 4. I'm now a mummy to a beautiful little boy. None left in the freezer but it only took one! Good luck. Think positive!

It only takes one, keep positive. I just got my first ever positive result, I tested early 6 days after my FET and it looks good. In this cycle I had acupuncture couple of time before transfer day, ate and drank lots of pineapple and paid for an ‘add on’ of embryo glue. Not sure if all or none of these helped, but that’s what I done anyhow. Wishing you all the best xxx

It’s quality not quantity, I had a low number but ended up with more than a friend of mine who had double figures collected. We are all different, I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you. Good luck x
