Third time round of ivf 12 eggs collected scans showed more follicles

[Kk82]

Hi, this is my third round of ivf.
My first round I had 3 eggs collected and didn’t get to transfer.
Second I had a top blastocyst and icsi but it didn’t implant non freezing quality.
This time I’ve had 12 collected a little less conpared to my second time round. Also having icsi this cycle . This time also I was put onto menopur with bemfola.
This cycle round I’ve been an emotional wreck, crying in front of the consultants, during injections at home. I have needle phobias and also this time have had panic attacks.
I feel deflated that less have been collected and worried about the quality which we will be told tomorrow. I’m 37 and can’t go through this again as I’m finding it very traumatic. This time I have asked for embryo glue, and lubion as much as I dislike needles I felt the progesterone wasn’t helping me much. I have also asked if we have good quality eggs for two to be put back in as last time we had two top blastocysts (one which was not freezing quality) the other didn’t implant.

Has anyone had a similar experience or give me any advice please feeling a bit sad 😞 everyone else is having their babies, really feeling the pressure from society, fed up that it’s not working and what if it doesn’t again 😞

Last cycle (we did 5) we got 1 egg, 1 embryo and.... 1 baby who is talking to his iPad opposite me as I type.

and keep your chin up

Not had experience of this Op but i really hope that it works out for you

I had 12 eggs collected, I ended up with two good enough quality to implant, none were freezable quality.
DC are in middle school now.
The whole process is very stressful OP and feeling sad is natural.
Wishing you the best of luck.

Thank you x

Thank you. I guess I’m just feeling scared now as to whether we will even have any good quality eggs which could be transferred and then implant x

Thank you. This waiting game is horrible

I swear the waiting was the single worst part!

It’s not nice just as bad as having three injections a day and still on them for a further two weeks if we get good eggs. Wish it was easier x

Do you know what grade the embryos were? X

@midwestspring do you know what grade your embryos were? I know you mentioned good. I previously had a top blastocyst put back in and was told I was unlucky? How can it stem down to luck? Should my consultants have done any further checks on me? X

Thank you. So I had 12 collected, they put 5 for fertilisation only 3 of the 5 are ok. They have booked egg transfer for Monday. Feel scared what if the three don’t develop and they cancel it?

OP I honestly can't remember what grade they were, just that the best two were implanted and No. 3 wasn't good enough to freeze.

But I have two great (mostly!) dc from those so it really isn't about large numbers.

The worst thing for me about the whole process was the constant worrying about the next stage.
I know it is easier said than done but try and find relaxing and engaging things to do.

How are you doing @Kk82 ?

I hope it works out for you

Hi @midwestspring. Thank you for checking up on me. I’m ok thank you. I have had a 5 day Blastocyst transfer. The embryo was graded 5AB. They have frozen two graded 3 and 4. Just have to wait now x

@MrsPerfect12 thank you x

Good luck! I hope it goes well for you.

Good luck!! I hope this is the one for you xx

Good luck I had 2 ivf attempts Only collected a couple of eggs both times - 3 at most each cycle, none to freeze and both were successful (now 17 and 12 years old) It’s the quality that counts not the quantity

Fingers crossed 🤞 Remember to report back 💖

@YouSetTheTone @stairgates @Hermanhessescat @SuperMeerkat thank you all for messaging on my post ❤️❤️. Sorry I’ve not been in touch. I’m testing on Monday. I’ve had no bleeding so far 🙏🏻, second cycle I did.ive been really hot in the night breaking out in sweats , heating has been switched off which isn’t like me at all. I tend to feel the cold a lot and always wrap up and have the heating on constantly up. A few times I’ve felt a bit cold in the day, I did try to eat grapes today too and really disliked the taste to the degree where I had to take the grapes out of my mouth 🤭although my husband said they tasted good. I might be thinking too much and it may be too early but I’m really hoping these are positive signs. I will let you know Monday what result we get xxxx

Oh everything crossed!! I hope disliking the grapes is a positive sign

Third time lucky. I have fingers and toes crossed for you. 💐💐💐

Everything crossed for you xx

Fingers crossed for you op xx
