Only 2 follicles this time

[Ruthie82]

Only 2 follicles 😢. Just started my third cycle and had my first scan yesterday. So disappointed and upset to only find 2 follicles. On my previous ivf attempts I had 10 first go and 8 the second. Always had ones that made blast. I’m didn’t expect disappointment this early. My clinic has advised to wait till tomorrow’s scan to see if any more grow but they not hopeful and will be up to me if I want to continue this cycle or end it and start all over again. I don’t want to waste a cycle but on the other hand I know it only takes one! I’m scared I won’t make the end of the process and it will all be a waste. Is there any success stories with only few eggs?

Hi. I just wanted to say that maybe tomorrow some more have grown. It must be hard to make the decision to give up or carry on but you need to do what you feel is best for you, physically, mentally and emotionally. Wishing you all the luck xxx

Thank you for you reply. Had second scan today and still only 2. Decided to abandon this cycle which was really hard. Still not sure if I’ve made the right choice I now feel maybe I should of given the 2 a try. I’ll never know now. Hopefully next go will be better outcome xx

Hi have they changed you FSH drugs? I had a really poor response earlier this year and am convinced it was due to them changing my drugs to Menopur. I only had 2 follicles respond, I insisted for my latest cycle we went back to gonal f and I had 7 follicles responded, collecting 5 eggs. Wishing you the best of luck x

Oh hun. I am sorry to hear that. I don't even know what to say and what advice to give... From the first IVF, I had only 3 eggs 1 of which was mature. I had a transfer but failed. after I had used donor eggs I also have a failure (2 fresh embryos). After the 2nd transfer (1 frozen embryo) I got bfp but my pregnancy ended with mc. It is only your choice and nobody will tell you what to do. You should probably look at how you feel.
