I think I'm in shock! I’m 39 and was told in May that I have very low ovarian reserve and will probably go into early menopause. I decided to get a sperm donor and do IVF asap. I did my first cycle of a 3 cycle set to collect eggs and freeze the embryos before transferring the best quality one at the end, but they only collected 2 eggs and one was discarded on day 5 and the other wasn't ready to freeze. It hadn’t fully formed into a blastocyst and they weren't sure if it would be the next day and if it would be a high enough quality to freeze.
I ended up racing to the clinic and asking for them to transfer it rather than risking it not being good enough to freeze. Just thought I might as well give it a go. I couldn't stand the thought of it being discarded. I'd been taking progesterone since the egg collection as one of the doctors I’d seen at a scan said that this was an option. So glad I did! I still can't believe it worked. My little early blastocyst looked nothing like the pictures I saw online.
This past 11 days I've been thinking that it hasn’t worked but it was worth a try, and just getting annoyed with the lutugest side effects. It's made me feel really bloated and just reminded me of how I felt when I had an ectopic pregnancy 3 yrs ago.
I also paid and had my next round of drugs delivered because I was panicking about missing the next cycle and wanted to be able to go straight into another. Fingers crossed that is money down the drain and I will not have any need of them!
Hopefully I can have a scan in 2 weeks to confirm it’s not ectopic. This whole IVF process has made me realise that I am a very impatient person!
Good luck to everyone else with crappy ovaries like me and low follicle numbers xxx
Post blastocyst transfer anxiety 😬
Anyone had success with an early day5 blastocyst transfer? 
poor quality day 3 embryos 
High AMH but poor egg quality 
Embryo quality question - okay to transfer but not PGT-A?
