Low follicle numbers but have an embryo on ice!

Hi all,

So many of you were lovely on my last post so just wanted to share our latest ivf update.

After delaying the trigger to get a couple more follicles we ended up with 4 eggs and 3 of these were fertilised. Really chuffed considering the last round only got 1 with my low follicle count and AMH levels.

2 made it to Blastocyst so had one transfered today and the other frozen. Now taking it easy and how the next 2 weeks zip by quickly!

Know we've still got a little way to go but feels like our bfp is within reach. 6 months ago I felt donor eggs were our only option so going to stay on this positive bubble a little longer.

Happy vibes and baby dust to you all 😊

Definitely! I know it's so clichΓ©d to say it only takes one but with small egg numbers it can still happen.

Thank you 😊

Hey purple. Congrats on this cycle so far!

I too was in a similar situation to you. After my first failed cycle I was told the only way to guarantee a baby would be using an egg donor.

I recently got a BFP using my own eggs and also have one on ice. Fingers crossed we have sticky little beans! My amh was 2.4 when test last October.

Good luck and sending you baby dust! xx

If you don't mind me asking, how old are you and what dose of FSH were you?

Hi Ellebee,

Thank you!

I'm 38 and was on 150 bemfola and 300 menopur. They also gave me 15000 gonasai as a trigger. I responded well to the high dose but know others who needed a more natural cycle to get positive results.

Hope all goes well for your round x
