Only 1 πŸ₯š

Yesterday I had egg collection and they got 4 eggs. I was kinda hoping for 5 as that's how many follicles I had, but its what we got.

Got the call this morning and only 1 fertilised. 1 didnt fertilise at all, 1 wasnt mature and 1 fertilised abnormally.

I know I should be excited that we got one but I cant help feeling miserable that we havent got any for the freezer. So far through stims, scans etc I have been so positive and havent even felt like we were having treatment. I hate to be negative but cant feel anything different.

Not even sure what im wanting from this post. I just need a kick up the bum and concentrate on getting to Monday.

Hey, sorry to hear that you only got 1. It suck doesn't it when you think it's all going so well! At least you have 1 fertilised and that is better than none at all. Fingers crossed for you and good luck in the 2ww x

Awww Im sorry things havent gone to plan, its so hard when this happens! We all want a back up in the freezer, that's only natural! Will keep my fingers crossed that you have a little fighter...as cliche as it sounds it only takes one!! Good luck.xx

That's what my consultant keeps telling me. But a spare in the freezer would have been amazing. Let's hope it's as tough as me (on a good day) Thanks for your message xx

Hang on in there, it only takes one.

Our first cycle we had 9 retrieved, 0 fertilised. Second cycle 10 retrieved, 8 mature, 3 fertilised but only one still a tough enough cookie to be going strong at day 5. I remember feeling disappointed because we had nothing to freeze but kept reminding myself it only takes one, that little miracle is still going strong now at 6 weeks. Never lose hope xx

I know right! If we were NHS patients I dont think I'd feel so down as we would get 2 more goes, but this is it for us. Keeping everything crossed. Thanks for your positivity xxx

We only had one embryo and I had my 12 week scan last Tuesday. One is all you need... Keep that mantra. But I remember how deflated I felt at that stage when there was nothing to freeze... Fingers and toes crossed xx

I’m sorry that you haven’t had the news you would have liked in terms of numbers. But try not to be too hard on yourself today. It sounds like you’ve been handling it all like a trooper so far, it’s totally ok to have a down day when you’ve had a knock like this! Be kind to yourself and then try to focus your energy on that little egg you have. Hoping it keeps developing nicely for you lovely 🀞xx

Don't worry matey I got 13 eggs and only 6 fertilised they put 2 in in Monday and the other 4 didn't mature so I have none to freeze.

I didn't have any to freeze last time either. x

Hello. I am so with u on this. I have just had my second round of ICSI. My first round I only had 2 eggs collected and neither fertilised. Then this time round I had 4 collected; 2 were immature, 1 did not fertilise and one did. I was so shocked to even experience getting this far! I have never had the experience of even having any to freeze. I had my transfer on day 3 as I only had 1 embryo and my clinic told me that the cells were slow going. Only 3 cells had divided on day 3 and that they would transfer but just to warn me that they don't normally like to transfer those poor quality. So I am in my 2ww and in total limbo as I know deep down it hasn't worked but I still have to follow procedure and wait for test day.

You are stronger than u ever think possible. I know I have certainly surprised myself. Xx

Thank u. That is so kind. Unfortunately I have been heavy cramping this afternoon and have been starting to have some discharge so I think AF is now on it's way tonight/tomorrow. It is test day tomorrow. Will still have to do it in the morning to confirm but it is not looking hopeful now. πŸ˜•πŸ˜•πŸ˜”πŸ˜” xx
