Yesterday we had our EC after our first round of IVF. I had four mature follicles and lots of smaller ones. One of the follies was 21mm. They didn't retrieve any eggs at all and I'm quite confused as to why. The response from the consultant was that not all follicles contain eggs. My oestradial (spelling?) level was 4000 two days before which suggested there were at least 4 eggs, so where did they go? Does anyone have any ideas? Tbh the consultant seemed as mystified as we were because of the oestradial levels, but he did say (while I was quite distressed and under sedation [hmmm] that it could be that because of my BMI it might not have worked because of not being able to distribute the medication evenly. My BMI is 25.9. We have a follow-up appointment in a week and a half. If anyone can shed any light or suggest any reasons fro their own experience if be most grateful.
Also, the consultant said we'd have to wait for 6 months for round 2. We're NHS patients. Is this the norm?
Thanks in advance.
