IVF Round 1 - EC Results

[Lcm11]

Hi all, I've had the final day 6 call from the embryologist after my first round of IVF. Short protocol, mild dose (125iu - Bemfola) with donor sperm due to severe MFI. PCOS and AMH of 62.

Do these results seem about right and AIBU to feel disappointed? I'm honestly shocked at what an emotional rollercoaster this has been, and don't know if I'm being silly and need a reality check.

Day 0: 11 mature eggs collected
Day 1: 9 fertilised
Day 3: 1 frozen on clinic's recommendation (8 cells-grade 1). Told of the remaining 8 - 5 were developing as expected on day 3 and other 3 were slightly behind - they would check again on day 5.
Day 5: 1 suitable for freezing (4CC)
Day 6: all others either didn't make it blast stage or made it to blast but weren't good enough quality for freezing

So we have 2 in the freezer which I know we are super lucky to get and I'm not taking that for granted. But does the drop off from day 3-5 going from 8 remaining to 1 blastocyst seem quite drastic? We have our follow-up call with the clinic on Friday and just want to check I have a good grasp of the situation and if I need to flag any concerns or issues.

Thanks in advance x

You might want to repost this on the infertility boards lots more people talking about IVF there.

I just did my EC last Friday and only got 1 egg collected. Waiting for the dreaded day 5 call tomorrow to let me know if it’s made it to blastocyst. It’s always disappointing to get low numbers, but we just have to hope we get lucky as it’s still possible with only 1!

Thank you @AnnieStar12 I have just reposted. I had no idea the infertility board was even there, not sure how I missed that!

Oh this must have been such a stressful week for you! Good luck with the call tomorrow, I'll have everything crossed for you. Exactly we're not out so we should have hope 🤞🏼
