    Oh, I also wanted to mention (because I was never told before EPU) that apparently the doctors generally aim for between 8-12 eggs from EPU. I didn't realise that sometimes they can't retrieve an egg from a follie, so I went into my EPU thinking I was going to get 30 eggs from my 30 follies, and found myself a bit disappointed when I was told there were only 10.

    Hi Mylitta,
    This was my experience too. I had 32 follicles so thought that was how many eggs I would get. Like you though, I only got 10.
    I was really disappointed! It was easter in the lead up to this and I kept calling myself the Easter Bunny because I thought I had so many eggs.
    Of the 10 they got only 5 were mature. What I'd like to know is- if FS had waited a day or two longer before trigger, would I have had more mature eggs?
    I'm sorry to hear that you couldn't use your embryos. That must have been so sad. I hope that you have better luck next time and they are able to find you some perfect ones to implant.
