Empty Follicles

I posted a few days ago about my disappointment having 4 good follicles. It turns out 3 out of 4 were empty. I was devastated hearing the news that I only got 1 egg. It was however mature & injected. I will hear in the morning if it's fertilised then have a day 3 transfer.

As part of my package I have a second round paid for. I asked the consultant when or should I go again and she said I should think very carefully about it. I'm not sure if that means she wouldn't recommend it or what! She mentioned high FSH and it affecting egg quality.

I've taken all the supplements under the sun for this round to be the worst one yet. I feel numb and don't know what to do for the best. I already have a son from successful IUI when I was 36.
