So, we had our EC first thing and I was very pleasantly surprised ๐ฎ Friday's scan showed two good sized lead follicles, which were basically our only hope. The doctor mentioned I had two small follicles measuring 10 each but they didn't think these would grow enough. So I'd prepared my husband for 1 or 2 eggs, if we were lucky. Amazingly, we got FIVE ๐๐ฅฐ! I was a bit groggy so didn't ask enough but I guess both of the baby follicles caught up and one of the big ones must have had two eggs. No idea what tomorrow's fertilisation call will bring (I'm sure the 5 eggs won't all be mature and this is our first time with ICSI on my husband's sperm...) but for today I'm just feeling so blessed and fortunate ๐โจ ๐

Congratulations! Itโs about celebrating each milestone! Whoop! Whoop!
Thank you! It's a real rollercoaster. I'm not getting ahead of myself as I've had an experience in the past (without ICSI) of a freak cycle where none of the (also then 5) eggs fertilised at first, so it's a long week ahead. But today was a good day, and we have to cherish those ๐ xx
Amazing news, fingers crossed for tomorrow , hopefully they all get to next stage! Xxx
Thank you Gemstar! Your EC results gave me lots of hope, I never thought the tiny follicles would give any eggs. It's so nice when a milestone works out better than you'd expected... and so rare ๐ x
Excellent news! Congratulations! Definitely enjoy this positive step. Good luck for tomorrow xx
Thatโs amazing news!! See; set the bar low and all works out well!! Fingers crossed for your fertilisation xxx
Thank you! I'll be a nervous wreck when that phone rings ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐ x
Genuinely I think this is worse than the 2WW ๐คข๐คข๐คข One day at a time. Itโs out of your hands now xxx
There are so many steps in this bloody hard journey that you have to celebrate each stage and deal with whatever comes next, this is brilliant news so happy for you, well done little follicles ๐! Xx
Awh class ๐ฅณ ya donโt often get any bonus anythingโs in Ivf but this is just great! Hopefully youโll get an embryo out of this ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
I know! Honestly, my news is generally poor in these cycles ๐ญso was completely amazing to hear we got so many (when you're expecting 1 or none, 5 seems like a huge blessing๐) Now to see if any actually fertilised and if we will have any embryos ๐xx
That's a great result .. wishing you the best of luck for the next step ๐
Fantastic news ๐๐๐
Awesome news, Aurora, so pleased for you!! Keeping fingers crossed for a good fertilisation rate! All went well here yesterday too - really pleased we got 7 eggs out of our 8 follicles! Got another polyp on my endometrium though so we'll have to move to a frozen cycle! Let me know how you're getting on! x
This is amazing! Wishing you lots and lots of luck for the next few days/ weeks!! Xx
