    Follicle count - lasts Ultra Sound vs Pickup

    Just wondering what people's experience has been.

    How many follicles did the U/S closest to your pick up show?

    How many follicles were actually picked up?

    How many eggs?

    How many fertilized?

    What day did you grow too?

    I'll post mine by the end of the week - my pick up is Wed and today's U/S showed 4 follicles...

    All my u/sounds before EPU showed only 7 follicles (I only have one functioning ovary)

    We collected 14 mature eggs at EPU (left ovary had some follies but all too immature)

    100% fertilisation

    1 transferred (bfp) and 10 frozen.

    Best of luck!!!

    Hey!

    At my ultrasound on Thursday and Saturday it showed around 18 follicles.
    Today they picked up 13 but I haven't had the chance to chat to my FS about it as he had to rush off so I will have more to say on this at the end of the week once we know how many have fertilised etc.

    I'm interested to see what others say here too.

    Best of luck.

    I had only about 3 mature (and a few immature) on ultrasound, but my drugs were on too low of a dose... that had me really sad.

    But they went ahead anyway, and we had 11 eggs, 7 mature. 6 fertilised (ICSI), 3 made it through. One transferred & 2 frozen. The fresh implant failed, so I have a frozen one in me right now.

    Best of luck for your journey!

    Thanks for the good luck wishes everyone.

    Entreat - that's a good number - and I think that they often err on the side of low dose for the first cycle. Hopefully, your frostie is a sticky one!

    Well, my U/S was spot on - 4 follicles...with 4 eggs - very good for me, but I wish there had been some more hiding in there.

    Fertilization rate to follow...fingers crossed

    Hey, here is my updated numbers!

    Here goes:

    How many follicles did the U/S closest to your pick up show?
    18

    How many follicles were actually picked up?
    13

    How many eggs?
    13

    How many fertilized?
    9

    What day did you grow too?
    Day 5 transfer happening tomorrow.
    i have been ringing the lab each day to see how they are doing and 4 have already been frozen because they are so good, and 3 have reached morula(s/c?) stage and are ready to be transferred tomorrow. I am so chuffed! Out of that 9, so far only 2 have dropped off.

    Sue - that is a fantastic result! Good Luck

    From my 4 eggs - 2 fertilized, 2 were immature and I had 2 transferred today (day 2 transfers as I didn't have enough to go to blast), one of which was a 4 cell and the other a 2 cell.
