Hi ♥️
Today was my egg retrieval and I had 12 eggs retrieved (from about 28 follicles). It’s my second ER. The first time we retrieved 13 eggs, but none made it past day 3. I can’t help but feel like it might not work this time around again.
Can you all share some success stories with numbers similar to mine?
I’m trying to be hopeful but it’s so hard after so much disappointment.
Thank you ♥️

We've done 3 retrievals getting 25, 18, and 17 eggs. Only ended up with one making it to day 5 each time. First time transfer failed, second time embryo was chromosomal abnormal. For us it was third time lucky and I'm currently 27 weeks with a very active little boy
hello. my first round i had 4 eggs retrieved, 2 mature, 2 fertilised, and 1 day 3 embryo transferred, which didn’t implant. second retrieval i had 5 eggs retrieved, all mature, all fertilised, and 4 made it to day 5 blastocysts. i am currently pregnant with one of those. big numbers are not always important x

I had 9 my first retrieval. 4 mature and only 2 fertilised, they transferred both day 3. Neither stuck. Second retrieval I got 8. All mature, 6 fertilised and 5 blasts. 1st was unfortunately a miscarriage but my 2nd embryo is my daughter and I’m 18 weeks with my 3rd embryo with 2 in the freezer. So try not to focus too much on the numbers. I remember being disappointed I didn’t get more eggs. I had a good amount of follicles but not all of them responded to the stims.
