Hi Everyone

It's been a while since I last posted. Was previously in the Clomid group but was unsuccessful. I am now in the TWW after our first IVF cycle and at the moment feeling really positive.

I have 30 eggs on collection day (11/7) and of the 30 had 18 fertilise to day 3. I must admit I was completely shocked at the massive number as at my scan 8 days prior showed only 8 mature follicles.

Had 1 ET on Monday (14/7) and 9 embryos frozen at day 3 (so 10 in total). The remaining 8 didn't seem as good as the first 10 so they were grown to blastocyst and of the 8, 5 continued on. So in total I have the 1 hopefully making itself comfy and 14 left for FET if needed. Not bad from 35 yr old eggs.

My partner and I feel really hopeful of being successful due to the number of good embryos we acheived and how many we have left for future attempts. It definately reduces my stress level knowing that I hopefully won't have to go through the whole IVF process again, which for me was quite uncomfortable as at the day of pick up I was so bad that I couldn't even sit down without being in discomfort.

So fingers crossed that Monday week (28/7) we get a BFP. I am hoping that my experience provides a positive outlook for some of you who are really struggling, as from something which looked small to start with (8 follicles) acheived something fantastic.

Good luck to you all with your journeys and hopefully will see lots of BFP's in the near future.
