IVF egg collection today!

Hi, had egg collection today and they collected 9 eggs. Waiting on a call in the morning to see how many fertilised. I had 17 follicles. The doctor came in and told me when I was still heavily sedated so I didn’t get to ask him. The nurse told me before the doctor would wait until my husband was back as I would be heavily sedated. I’m disappointed that I didn’t get to ask questions. Is 17 follicles down to 9 eggs collected normal? First time for me. Thanks in advance.

Hi Poldarkfan, I'm not sure about normal but I had over 20 follicles and they only got 7 eggs. 🤷‍♀️ It really is quantity over quality but I understand your disappointment. I was disappointed too. But I think 9 eggs is wonderful!!!! Fingers crossed that "the one" embaby is there waiting to stick!! Biggest hugs and best wishes! Xx

Whoops!! Quality over quantity!!! But we do get stuck on the numbers! I completely understand! 🤗🤗🤗🤗

Hi lovely, they got 9 eggs collected from me too on my first collection which I thought was very good. I can see one of your tags is endo which I have too. For me I ended up with 3 one of which I am 16 weeks pregnant with after a frozen transfer. Just likeBelanalo said it’s definitely quality over quantity. Fingers crossed for your eggies xxx
