Scan yesterday went well. It's a bit of a deflation from having 20+ follicles on day 8 to now only 6 are at 18mm or above and 1 of those might be too big.
So, 5 follicles, but there are 3 at 15mm+ and another 3 at 14mm, so hopefully some of those get up there too!
Egg collection booked for Wednesday! Looking forward to it!
Whoop I think those are super numbers and better quality than quantity - some of those at 14 and 15 could easily catch up by tomorrow! Will be thinking of you and wishing you heaps of luck xx
Thanks!
That's great news lovely! Will be thinking of you Wednesday, lots of luck 🤞 xxx
Thanks. Can't wait. Also, get a day off injections today, so that's nice.
Can understand the deflated feeling but I’ve got a good feeling you’re going to be pleasantly surprised tomorrow 😊
Sending you lots of luck for some well cooked eggs tomorrow! You’ve got this 💪🏻🥚♥️ xxx
Thanks KiboXX. If it wasn't already out of my hands, it really is now! Can't wait to see what my numbers are tomorrow! x
Morning Emmie, great numbers- focus on quality 🍀🤞🏻✨wishing you the best of luck for EC tomorrow - hope you’ll have a nice sleep 😉🤞🏻💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
Hi ttcemmie,
Good luck for your egg collection 🥚 hope all goes well!
We are due to start our first cycle really soon. I wondered - did you get your follicle numbers and measurements to take away with you or did you write them down at the clinic? Or do you just have an awesome memory 🤯 xx
Hey! It's Wednesday - tomorrow Wednesday! 😊 I took pictures of the follicle graphs on the computer screen. My husband didn't come to two of the scans so I wanted something to show him, and thought I might as well take a picture of yesterday's too even though he came to that one. I instead sent it to my parents who went with me to the other two scans. x
Yaay that's exciting! I thought that would have seemed like a super long stimms phase if it was next week 🤦♀️ Aww that's a brilliant idea! Thank you. My Husband also won't be able to attend all appointments so I was worried I wouldn't take everything in & not be able to relay things accurately from memory. Will keep a wee eye out for your update posts 🥚💪🍍🤞 xx
Theyre fantastic numbers! I expect the ones at 14 & 15 will be big enough by tomorrow as well the way they’ve developed so far! Lots of luck for tomorrow- you’re going in strong with good numbers so it’s all looking good! 🤞🏻💐🌈🍀 xxx
Hi ttcemmie, those numbers are great, quality over quantity most definately is key. You only need the 1 super strong egg to work 💫 it doesn’t matter about quantity. Fingers crossed those other two push a little further by EC tomorrow but I wouldn’t stress too much. My egg collection is tomorrow also, looking forward to it as well as been an anxious few weeks due to our last cycle failing miserably. It’s nice to have a needle free day isn’t it 🙌🏼🙈. Best of luck for tomorrow i’m sure all will be fine, positive vibes sending your way! 💫 Xx
Thanks WonderworldXx! Yup, just want to get to transfer day as that is the key! Keep telling myself anything else is a bonus. I don't need 10 babies! I just need one! Congratulations on getting to egg collection! I am also excited about tomorrow as it feels like a completely different stage of the journey. Best of luck for tomorrow for you also! xx
Haha you’re so right, I couldn’t deal with 10 babies either 🤣🙈. The next week will be tough as we know, but progressing to this stage of the journey is a huge achievement especially with a batch of potential eggs to choose from. Here’s hoping there’s some super strong eggs ready to collect tomorrow, best of luck Xx
Just want to wish you best of luck Emmie, I pray they are great quality eggs 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
I had 16 from my scan and 9 were collected on Sunday.
I think with the size of your smaller follicles they will get up to the right size for collection so don’t worry.
Wishing you all the luck for egg collection tomorrow xxx
Eeeeeekkk 🤞 everything goes to plan for Wednesday and u have egg collection. How exciting, I know it's a killer when number start reducing, but I keep telling myself it's not about numbers it's all about quality. Ofcourse u would love to have atleast 2 or 3 to be able to freeze... fingers crossed all 6 progress beautifully.
You've got this!!! Your strong and positive.. all the best. Are u feeling really sore and swollen with the medication cause your follicles are increasing in size xxx
Thanks. Stomach feeling sore and breasts feeling really really sore!
Great news!! 😊 My Doctor said 14 & 15mm ones still have a good chance, don't let it discourage you!! Wishing you all the best for Wednesday! I'm booked for EC Wednesday too ☺😅 so excited!! xxxx
Great numbers and good luck for tomorrow hun xxx
That's great news! Hard not to get disappointed when you're expecting more but your numbers are good! I had my day 8 scan today and despite higher dosage of meds compared to my first cycle I have fewer follicles than last time. Kick in the teeth isn't it? Egg collection should be Saturday or Monday for me so not too far behind you. Wishing you all the very best for tomorrow xxx
Thanks lovely! Yeah, I'm also on a higher dose of meds but expecting to get fewer eggs (had 12 last time with this clinic). It will be what it will be! Good luck for your scans and your egg collection too! So soon! xxxx
Good luck emmie !! Praying for you ❤️ i love your positivity!!
Thanks! Didn't realise I was being so positive! But it's nice to hear! 😊😊😊
Good luck for today! 🤞🥚🤞🥚🤞xx
Hi Emmie, still fantastic numbers, hope you managed a good nights sleep 😊 Will be thinking of you, sending you lots of luck and virtual hugs x
Hi! Any update on this? How did your EC go?
I'm in a similar situation, due for EC on Tuesday. But looks like I only have 5 viable follicles.
Hi love. EC was good. The clinic were lovely, as always, despite being a few staff down. I got 11 eggs, but then they swiftly went down to 7 fertilised. I only had 1 to transfer at blastocyst, and then they let me know the day after that the other 6 didn't make it, which was disappointing, but I'm so happy I have my little embie on board. Best of luck for EC! So soon! You must be excited.
Ah great, it only takes one! All the best and Lots of prayers for you!
I'm excited, but anxious to say the least. I had my scan today on day 8 but only have 5 follicles, the Dr expected to see more but apparently I didnt respond great to the Gonal F 150.
Did you do the transfer on day 3 or 5?
xx
It was day 5 for me. Was quite worried about it! Can understand your concerns with only 5, but numbers are all over the place each time with this journey. Last cycle I only got 6 eggs but 2 blastocysts, so can't trust that more eggs means a better result! Hopefully this is the cycle for you. Keep us updated. xxxx
9 follicles... Day 5 scan
Day 8 scan small follicles?
IVF scan day 10
