Hi all,

Sorry 2nd update of the day... I had 21 eggs retrieved and ive just had the call to say 7 are mature is this ok? Im going through ICSI so im assuming this is 7 fertilized rather than mature? I can't help but stress as this is such a drastic drop?

Just seeking words of wisdom or reassurance i suppose 😞

Thank you x

Id say 7 is positive 🀨 they have to be mature for them to inject. Will they update you on day 3 then?

They said they will call tomorrow with another update πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€ž but she did say the 7 that are there do look good... But its hard to not feel deflated after been told 21 but then 7 are mature I expect to loose some but not 14 but either way it's an improvement from last two rounds 1st 11 eggs non mature 2nd 6 eggs 3 mature 1 made to day 5 and was transferred but BFN so trying to look on the positive side

Thank you for responding hard not to obsess over things isnt it x

I feel ya πŸ˜˜πŸ’πŸ’– it’s a total head wreck πŸ€ͺ🀯 tomo you will know if they’ve fertilised normally or not and will have a realistic outlook of what to expect. Let’s hope ya get some good quality ones this time πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’πŸ’πŸ’πŸ’ I think this part is the absolute hardest because it’s literally out of our hands πŸ™Œ at least you’ve a phone call in the morning πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ’–

Sounds good! We only had 14 eggs collected, out of which 8 fertilised and 3 matured and made it to blastocyst. We had to go with ICSI as well.
