Upset

Hello I’ve had an egg collection today and only 3 eggs were collected. I have low ovarian and reserve and am 39. I can’t stop crying. I feel like there is no hope of it working.

Making multiple rounds of egg collection before embrio transfer might be solution for you. That way they can find higher quality eggs to fertilize. What was your amh level?

One round of IVF has cost £7000

This is 1 full round of ivf. Egg collection alone will cost less. I think it is still worth to ask your doctor. In my case I had 8 eggs collected. 4 made it to blast stage embrio and 2 of them transfered and 2 frozen. Now I have a 2 year old daughter. So if your 3 eggs quality is good enough, it might be enough for you to have a baby

To collect the eggs I need to stims so medication for egg collection and egg collection costs £7000. I can’t afford to do multiple egg collections at £7000 a pop

i’m 37. i only had 5 eggs collected and 4 made it to day 5 blasts. quality over quantity x

@Katie thank you. I’ve had two previous egg collections over 2 years ago. 6 eggs collected and one embryo. 5 eggs collected and one embryo. So really feel the odds are stacked against me.

I’ve had 5 egg retrievals in total with my last cycle being the worst in terms of numbers. I only got 4 mature eggs and only 1 fertilised but that one has got me bfp so stay hopeful!’ It really is quality over quantity good luck x
