We have a bunch of 8 follicles more than 10mm, so looking good for hopefully those 8 all getting up to 18mm (the goal) or there's another 4 follicles at 10mm so maybe maybe they'll also get up there!
Nurse counted 16 follicles in total (she couldn't be bothered to count any smaller than 6mm), but looks like only 8, potentially 11 will become big enough in time. So from being excited about 20/21 follicles two days ago, 8 isn't as exciting, but still good.
Egg collection on for Wednesday!

Emmie Hun β€οΈItβs normal not to have 20 follicles after stimming - way too many! Itβs very unlikely for them all to grow and have quality eggs inside...
Think quality over quantity - 8 is a great number! πͺπ»πͺπ»πͺπ»πͺπ»πͺπ»πͺπ»Sending you lots ok luck β¨β¨β¨ππππππ€π»π€π»π€π»π€π»ππππππ
8 is fab hun, we only got 4 but then only 3 mature enough but we still got 2 βbeautiful embryosβ clinics words - they donβt tell us the grade but Iβll happily take their word my pint is you donβt need lots and lots just that one good one π praying this time will be your time honey x
Awwww ttcemmie that is still good. And the other ones will still grow so i am sure you will get more follicles that are of a good size. Please be as exited as you would have been if your numbers were higher because we want good quality right (not quantity). Praying very hrd for you xx
Thatβs still a really good amount my love. You donβt want to end up with ohss and getting your cycle cancelled. Some of my 10s made it but even if not, 8 is a good number!
Thanks Khess. I am hoping I will be happy as long as we have something to transfer. I keep telling myself frozen is a bonus (you don't get a frozen on a natural cycle of trying!).
Fab update ! πππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»ππππππ all systems go for Wednesday ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»π€π€π€π€ hope you arenβt feeling too sick . Nearly there now ππ»ππ
Thatβs a really good outcome. I had 8 follicles in total which gave way to 6 eggs. 5 fertilised and ended up with 3 embryos. Iβm now pregnant and so low numbers may contain all that is needed. Iβve also heard many a case where women get loads of eggs which end up not being of great quality so donβt feel disheartened. Itβs definitely quality that counts. Fingers crossed for you. You give so much reassurance to other women on this board and so I hope in turn you get your happy ending...x
Awwww thanks Tiddly1984. That's good to know. I'm well aware that cycles get cancelled and some don't result in eggs etc. so I'm very grateful to have this number of follicles (even if it is not the most amount ever!) and I'm just looking to get to transfer. Keep telling myself that a frozen would be a bonus. Many many many congratulations on your pregnancy. When are you due?....... Next month!? Thank you for saying I give reassurance to others. That's really nice to hear. xxxx
Thank you so much. Yes, due next month and the time has flown. Iβm very grateful to be in this position and I hope that this is the start of your journey too π Fingers crossed for the best news over the coming days which Iβm sure it will be. Also definitely meant what I said. I come on this forum like many others and we donβt always have the time to respond to posts despite our best intentions, but I notice that you respond frequently. Very sweet of you...x
Thanks Tiddly. I just know that if people are posting then they are really needing some support so I feel I must get back to people when I can. Plus I've lost all interest in my job soooooo π I do some of it on work time! π
