First retrieval - feeling disappointed

Hi All. I’m looking for some reassurance and words of encouragement I guess.

Today we had our first egg retrieval. On my last scan we had 23 follicles, 16 were looking good. Today we had 11 eggs collected and just had the call to say 9 were mature. I feel so discouraged by this. My AMH levels were quite high (25) so we were expecting quite a few more eggs. I’m so worried about the drop off over the next few days. This is horrible, it’s all consuming isn’t it?! 💔

@ivfjourney2023 you will get there!!
Considering Instituto Bernabeu in spain (they do this duo-stimulation, where 2 egg collection in 28 days to get more embryos for testing), or Czech Republic - heard they are good and not expensive.
My problem that I work full time and also supereise my son's sport training which is every day... We moved to Switzerland, here we are at a state hospital (you still pay a lot fully), but they are slow, till you get appointments months, then no monitoring properly (I think they overdone this time), very much I was told like NHS cycle..

I have done duo stim in the U.K. excellent results for me; very low amh and I ended up with three euploid. Good luck.
