IVF Egg collection - 14 eggs 4 mature

[Ap1991]

Today I had my ivf egg collection - I had 22 follicles in total, 14 of a big enough size and 14 eggs collected but only 4 mature with potentially 2 more, this is so disappointing! Looking for advice has anyone succeeded with these numbers?

Hi! Don't be disheartened. It sounds like that might be 6 mature in total. That isn't bad at all - neither is 4. How old are you? Tomorrow you should hear about how many of those fertilised.

By the way, congratulations on getting your collection day ticked off. Hope you are resting and getting a bit pampered.

With IVF, the numbers are wild. My last egg collection, I had 12 eggs and four fertilised. I ended up with one day 5 embryo and one day 6. Currently snuggling my day 5 embryo with the other one frozen. Instagram and Tik Tok show folks with so many eggs and it makes you think you need this for success but I know lots of folks who have had success with just one. Sending you positive thoughts for your day 5 x

Thank you both, I am 36 with history of pcos and adenomyosis. Wishing you the very best of luck with your day 5!

At 36 that's not bad at all. See what tomorrow brings. You may have a very pleasant suprise. And update us if you can. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks so much 💕

If it makes you feel better I had 5 eggs but only 1 fertilised. It resulted in a successful pregnancy.

That does make me feel better! I think I’m getting too bogged down in the stats clearly anything can happen!

How did you get on with your fertilisation results today?

Nothing today, will find out tomorrow morning I think. Thanks so much for checking in!

Hi all, they were able to mature the additional two eggs so had 6 in total. 5 were fertilised and became embryos with one top quality, 2 good quality, 1 borderline and 1 poor. However, the top quality and one of the good embryos are developing too quickly and may not become blastocysts. They’ve said one of the goods and the borderline are behaving exactly as they’d like to see. Keeping my fingers crossed but not sure what to make of this!

That's great news! In the end you just need one. Will keep everything crossed for continuing good news over the next few days.

Thank you so much! I think I’d be unlucky to end up with nothing from that! Fingers crossed! Transfer booked for Monday!
