18 eggs down to 7 - feeling deflated

9 Replies

After total excitement of getting 18 eggs from our egg collection yesterday (we got 9 & 5 in our 2 previous rounds) am now feeling really deflated as only 7 have fertilised. I know this is still a great number and we are lucky to get to this stage, just can’t help feeling so disappointed that we’ve gone from 18 to 7. Am now terrified for our next update on Saturday, hoping our 7 can make it to day 5 🤞🤞🤞

Hi Laura,I recently had this, pretty much exactly, and it’s so hard not to feel deflated and disappointed. I find the wait for day 5 news the hardest part of all. Hang in there and keeping everything crossed for your 7! X

☺️ we got 2 blasts from our 7 and was gutted initially but now with BFP. Wishing you all the best! X

Good luck for you 🤞 That is a great number and they could well be of better quality. I had 20 collected, but only 3 made it to blast, so more isn't necessarily better. 7 is fab. x

Thanks so much, I needed to hear that! xx

Hi Laura, it is literally a lottery. I got two blastos from 13 fertilized eggs first round, but also two from 7 fertilized eggs round 2! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Got everything crossed for you xxx 🙏🙏

Laura that is an amazing number you should be so proud of yourself 😊 we were similar we had 14 down to 5 and I was gutted but told myself those other 9 eggs would never ever make an embryo so put them to the back of your mind and send positive thoughts to your 7 amazing embryos 🤞🏼
