Egg collection this morning

When I woke up they told me they got 16 eggs but 4 were too small, now waiting to hear how many are mature and make it to day 5. Did anyone else start with similar numbers? How many embryos did you get from 12 eggs?

I had 11 mature eggs. 8 fertilized and made it to day 6. 3 of the 8 were genetically normal.

It depends on a bunch of factors, including your age.

12 is a good number. When you get into really high numbers like OHSS, the quality of the eggs may not be so good.

Your number may not drop much from day 1 to day 3, I find they usually drop off between day 3 to day 5.

The “rule of thumb” is it’s about half to blast, then half normal, so my best guess would be 3 for you too, which is great! You only need ONE !

I had 14 eggs collected, 12 mature and ended up with 4 good quality embryos. My first round I had 23 collected, but only 2 fertilised and then only 1 made it to day 5 and wasn’t good quality. I had OHSS first time round so more eggs isn’t necessarily a good thing, had much better results second time round with similar numbers to you. Fingers crossed you get some good news on day 5 🤞🏼🥰 xx

wow what great numbers! You’re right, only takes 1 🤞🏽 hoping for good quality. I’m not doing genetic testing so won’t know how many are normal, I know it increases pregnancy rates but I can’t. Have you done a transfer yet? Hope everything is going ok for you, this process is intense!

I had 17 eggs retrieved
11 were mature and 6 made it to day 5. I have my 3rd transfer coming up. The first transfer ended in miscarriage. The second transfer was unsuccessful. Hoping 3rd time is the charm.

Egg retrievals are such a roller coaster! We were told we had 7 good follicles then that they had collected 18 or something but then the only 7 were good and became day3 and 4 to day 5. So to me I’m like well all along it was those quality seven that made it! quality not quantity

No we didn’t have genetic testing done x

For both my IVF cycles - 15 eggs collected, 12 matured and fertilised only 1 embryo at the end!

Both those cycles were successes! 1st cycle is now 1.5yo and am 24 weeks with my 2nd cycle embryo!!

Only takes 1 embryo!! Baby dust to you! X

rollercoaster for sure! Good luck!!

I know you are set in not doing genetic testing but in the long run you will save yourself a heartache and a bunch of money. I did not do it the first round and ended up loosing both kids and ultimately paying more money to do another round of IVF and this time round did genetic testing. Sure enough 50% of my embryos were abnormal. I know it’s a very personal decision that I respect but if you can do it please go ahead.

We got 19 eggs collected. 13 fertilized and 8 made it to 5 day embryos. 6 came back as genetically normal.

Based on our experience, around half of the eggs collected result in embryos. Fingers crossed you get good numbers!

We had 14 collected, 10 fertilised, went down to 8 on day 3 and we have our transfer this Saturday

One and done… or not?

32ftm. I’m starting to feel so much pressure to have another baby soon as I wean from breastfeeding so they can be close in age and be friends, but I don’t feel ready for pregnancy and newborn trenches again 😭 my husband and I are all we’ve got. Having just one baby without a village has been really tough. Am I being unrealistic wanting another one soon?

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.

Tests

So I had a blood test at the drs bc I keep getting positive tests when the blood test was negative what could this mean? Hubby says the tests are negative and said he can’t see anything. Negative image down below.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.
