Did anyone else have such a huge drop in numbers? I previously did 4 retrievals and got approx 40 eggs and one live birth.
Just had a retrieval this morning and only got 3 eggs.
I knew the odds weren't great trying for a baby at 44 yrs old but I didn't expect the numbers retrieved to drop so drastically.
From what I can tell antral follicle count can differ month to month. I wonder if this is true for older ladies? Because my scan in late October showed 8 follicles. This one had 6 and only 3 large enough for collection.
I know people have had success with few eggs but it literally took 40 eggs to get one euploid for us previously.
So disheartened and feel like it is pointless to hope.
Update: incase anyone is interested....We got 2 embryos , 1 morula at day 5 (today) and one good grade blastocyst I had transferred today.
I might be freaking out for nothing. Because if the 2nd embryo makes it to blast and freeze tomorrow, I am only 1 less than what I usually get with 10 eggs collected. I usually get about 3 embryos including a day 6 blast.
