As the title says I was really optimistic going into this round, scan on Monday showed 7 follicles but today for the EC they only found 2 and got 1 egg. I’ve spoken to the consultant and it looks I may have ovulated early which apparently can happen with low amh or looking at the oestrogen levels there may have been fewer eggs than they thought.
The consultant thinks it’s worth doing one more round before going down the donor egg route, I’m feeling pretty awful waiting to hear what the embryologist says but it would be a miracle if we got a blastocyst.
I think I need to find a fertility counsellor, today has made be realise I’m not in a good headspace

I’m sorry lovely, sending positive fertilising vibes to your egg! 🤞🏻 I did lots of counselling, wish I’d started earlier to be honest. Feel free to PM, I’ve been down a similar journey with low AMH & egg quality. It’s heart breaking and I ended up in a very bad place mentally. We moved to donor and I’m lying here on the sofa with my 5 month old boy sleeping on me. Not the easiest decision & it took time to get my head around the concept. Definitely touch base with a counsellor, I did via NHS. Give your NHS clinic a phone and ask about fertility counselling. It really helped me. Big hugs Xx
I'm sorry your EC was disappointing Lovely. It's so disheartening. Try not to lose hope yet, every chance your egg will fertilise. Hoping and praying it does 😍 But if not, absolutely, I think it's really important to be good to yourself and see someone who can help process the pain and heartache xx
Hi papillonblue. Sorry to hear things are not going to plan. Soul destroying. Sounds very similar to my outcomes 😒 Had seven from 1st treatment- none fertilised. Second time only 4 eggs but 1 never went all the way. 3rd time zero fertilisation . Have one last go remaining with the frozen sperm. Also echoing Jengi with the counselling. Sending hugs x
On my second round I had just 3 eggs collected and only 1 was viable. We went for a 3 day transfer, and I'm now 8.5 weeks pregnant. It's a cliché and said so many times, but you really do only need one. Best of luck to you xxx
The IVF rollercoaster keeps on rolling, the egg fertilised so as we only have the one we are going for transfer at day 3, feeling a bit more optimistic
