    Hi,

    My first IVFcycle was cancelled because I only had 2 follicles. (I'd previously had 6 IUI's and only ever got 4 follicles max) I was so upset. I converted to IUI but it didn't work and I'm sure that was down to timing of the trigger and then the sperm transfer being too late.

    Next cycle I had 4 follicles. They did the egg pick up. 2 fertilised out of the 4. They nearly didn't freeze the 2nd one because of the poor quality but did so in the end. The 1st embryo didn't take. The 2nd embryo was an FET the following month and it worked! Yes the poor quality one.

    It's a hard decision but try and go with your instinct. It DOES only take one egg, but it is nice to have a few options when going through the whole pick up/transfer process.

    Good luck with what you decide.
