Egg retrieval day today

Just an update. Had my egg retrieval , worst outcome I’ve ever had unfortunately.

Had 4, possibly 5 follicle but 3 were empty. So only 2 collected but the follicles were quite bit, therefor I’m worried too mature.

Embryologist advised ISCI and if they survive , would be a 2 day transfer.

I feel pretty sad, but the usual , hoping for the best but more prepared for the worst.

Physically I feel great , not stiff, sore or anything. Best I’ve ever felt, normally I’m wrecked.

Just administered my prontogest and fragmin blood thinner. Ouch …fragmin 🙈

l hi Rol. So sorry to hear this result. Let’s hope that with ICSI the two remaining embryos are the ones meant for you. Thinking of you. Diane

Thanks so much Diane. x.

it’s crap!!! But you have two eggs, let’s hope that both fertilise overnight. I know they say it only takes one… but it’s true. Quality over quantity as they say. Will be thinking of you.

Rol81 thinking if you this morning as you wait your call. I feel your frustration, I had my first bad response on our last attempt - 4/5 follicles seen on scan but only x1 egg retrieved and it didn’t fertilise. Tubal issues only (and my age at 41) hubby is fine so it was a nasty shock not to get to transfer.

I hope though you will get at least x1 fertilise and it’s the lucky 1! 🍀 🤞🏼

Ah I’m so so sorry Emily. Please feel free to pm me if you need to chat. I just read you last post. Sorry 😞

I’m awake since 6am just waiting for the call. Not sure how I’m going to take it.

Thanks for your message. Xxx

Thank you, hopefully once you know you can have a rest. I find the suspense is worse than the result.

That’s a kind offer, it always amazes me how quickly I can bounce back after the initial disappointment. I’m feeling hopeful and positive about our next go in January although it will be our last (she says 😉) as life needs to go on again x

I understand this heart break and how anxious the wait for that phone call is!! Just want to say I’m wishing you the best of luck!!! Come on eggies xx
