17 eggs but only 5 embies

Hi

I find this an amazing forum and a great place to retreat to. I think I come in here everyday now whether I post or not. Its my sane sactuary in a non-sane IVF world.

I had my first egg collection wednesday last week, it was terrifically painful, I cried a lot afterwards and think I would have a general next time. So many eggs, initially I was so happy (and sick - couldn't do fresh transfer - just starting to feel better today - hugely bloated - hopefully next week I can get back into my normal clothes and it doesn't help when people ask am I pregnant or pry repeatedly about why I had time off work).

I knew the numbers would drop, from day 3 to blast. I was so dissapointed but have to realise that we are lucky to have good blasts on ice.

So I'm looking foward to April - hopefully having transfer then!

I agree Kyles68 we are all in this together.

Good luck Collo04.

Isnt it nice to know we arent all alone in this IVF journey. WEll out of the five embies we had looks like only 1 or 2 will be suitable for freezing. I had transfer today of an early blastocycst. I was feeling so ill leading up to it this week I was so bloated pains and constipated which I fixed yesterday with some metamucil Yeah!!!! So hopefully in 11days I might have some goodnews that will change our lives...

Kylie and Belle Goodluck with evertything and hope your BFP is just around the corner!!!!

Hey Collo we got 17 too! 12 fertilised and we had two put back on day two.
So we had 10 left that they grew to blastie stage and we ended up with 4.
The 5 you have may all make it you just never know.
IVF is abit of a gamble. Good luck Hun

Hi Ladies

I got the phone call from clinic yesterday to say my 1 egg fertilised - yay - I am having day 3 transfer tomorrow and just have everything crossed.

Collo - we should have our TWW about the same time - my BT is due on 17th March 2008 - best of luck and may be blessed with BFP's

Good luck to everyone and thanks for your kind words
