Who got a BFP will a low number of follicles/eggs

Oh Max! Please do keep us updated on your progress.
It turns out that I am in a pretty similar situation. Out of 18 follies, apparently only 3 look like they will be the right size on collection day this Friday. I was about ready to give up, and think about starting over, but have since read a lot of people do end up with a few more viable eggs than they are told, and some go on to produce BFP's, so DH and I have decided to hang in there! I hope your EPU went well. I'd love to know how you went.

Hi Arielle,

Out of the 5 follicles they only got 3 eggs last Friday. I was a bit upset, but didn't cry, as I am trying to think positive, as I have done 3 stimulated cylces and every time, I have got a bit further, so I thought this is my chance.

All my eggs were ICSI'd as I have always had that done because of the low number of eggs collected each time. So on Saturday, I get a phone call that only 2 eggs have fertilised and has 2 cells in them. That is still good news for me. So the FS decided to do a day 3 transfer as I only had 2 eggs left and I wanted 2 transferred, so better in than out .....that is what they told me...So on Monday (day 3), I had an 8 cell and a 4 cell embryo transferred..

Now I am waiting for the 7th of October to hurry up for a blood test...fingers crossed..

I hope your EPU goes well...you never know....the other follicles might grow...you never know...
And think positive.

What they told me to do is drink a lot of water after the transfer....so try and drink at least 2 litres a day.

Keep me posted with your progress also.
