Going to puncture with 5 follicles 😔

[WaitingforGabriel]

Yesterday, my ultrasound showed 3 follicles at one side and 2 follicles on the other. I expect the new IVF round puncture to be within 10 days. In my earlier puncture there were 13 follicles, only 3 embryos grew up and gone... I wonder should I expect any success with 5 follicles 🙄 I am even wondering whether they will puncture me or not with this little number 😔 Can anyone relate?

My clinic do if you have 4+ looking good.

gosh does your clinic call egg collection ‘puncture’ that is giving me the absolute fear 🫣😆 too descriptive for me!!

Andfor you follicles it’s very early days yet. Remember it’s about quality over quantity especially over 40 and you still have 10 days until collection so plenty of time for other to appear and for these 5 follicles to be of a good size. Wishing you so much luck 💜

It is called 'punctie', 'puncture' in the Netherlands and yes it is what it is. They puncture you 😉

Thanks for the support.
