Flare cycle, gonal f & only 3 eggs :(

I'm so upset!

Apparently I was supposed to take the pill for 28 days but I took it for 21 days then started the synarel & gonal f etc. I was suppoed to be on the pill for an extra week because the day procedure centre is relocating this week and won't be open for surgery for 10 days. Apparently there was no plan b..

So then I went in for the scan yesterday and there's only 3 eggs :cry:
Even after being on 450ml of gonal f - the highest amount.

So I'm going ahead with the OPU on Monday and just got to pray that they get all 3 eggs :pray: :cry:

Hey country blue

I'm sorry to hear that things went awry and that you are so upset. I hope things go well for you on Monday.

Good luck:)

Country blue,

:hugs:

Good luck with the pick up tomorrow :crossfingers: that it all goes well and that they get the 3 eggs.

It is so crap when things stuff up through no fault of our own - as if it is not hard enough without added stress :(

Good luck and lots of :bluedust: for you.
FG

Thanks.

A bit scared about tomorrow morning but I've been through it before. I just want healthy fertilized eggs!

It's all a bit of a rollercoaster ride IVF isn't it?

Country Blue,

Just wanted to pop in and wish you luck with tomorrows pick up - i really hope that they get all three eggies and that they all fertilize well and then grow grow grow - and yes this IVF stuff if really hard - but hey if we don't try we never know right?
Personally for us we have no other choice but IVF just not possible to get pregnant without it so even though its hard it will be so worth it. Keep your chin up hun and i will say a little :pray: for you as well. :goodluck: and :bluedust: to you

Country Blue

Wishing you the best for tomorrow postive. we have had 4 eggs from 3 follicles sometimes they hide on the scan GL and thinking of you. :bluedust:

Hi Country Blue,

I can understand how frustrated and disappointed you must be - this IVF roller coaster is certainly hardto deal with at times.

I just wanted to say do not give up hope for this cycle.

We did a flare cylce last October,and I too only had 3 follicles after the stims,after being on the highest level of 450 for the puregon shots as well.

On pick up all 3 follicles had eggs which were mature enough to fertilise and be implanted.

We implanted 2 in October and I fell pregnant.However miscarriedat 7 weeks.

The 3rd emby which we froze, we used for a FET cycle this January and I am now 14 weeks pregnant.

So, I know its not easy,but dont get too hung up on the number of eggs, as long as they are a good quality is all that matters.

Just remember you only need 1 emby for a BFP.

Goodluck tomorrow and for the rest of this cycle.

Cheers.... Fi :hello:

C.B. I know some FS that have actually gone up to 650ml with their patients, so it's worthwhile pushing the point should you have to stim again.

Sounds like you need to discuss if the flare was actually effective or not.......maybe it was counter productive, which I know sounds weird as flares are meant to produce more eggs, but it sounds like it was working the other way around for you.

Thankyou so much everyone.

And guess what? They got FIVE eggs :D

One scientist told my husband they looked all good healthy eggs then the lady scientist said she was going to strip them today and hope they were mature enough to fertilize.

Very happy at this point and on to the next step - the phone call at 10:00 tomorrow :tremble:


The last egg got fertilized end last year but did not stick.

well done country blue great outcome! best of luck :fertilise:
xx

Well done and GL

Well the verdict is...
I have 2 ISCI fertilized eggs! :fertilise:

They are going great guns at the moment and are where they should be so praying :pray: they continue on as they should.

Transfer on Thursday, I'm having a double transfer due to my age.

:crossfingers:

great result CB! grow little embies grow :)

country blue,
What a great result :D hope that all continues to go well from this point on and wishing you lots of :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl: for Thursday.

FG

CB - great news!

I'm sorry you've gone through such a rollercoaster to get to this point, but I hope your embies continue to grow really well and that we'll see you in the TWW very soon!

Good luck on Thursday - I'll be thinking of you! :D

Thanks dusty, everyone. It's actually great to have this place to come and chat with people going through the same thing :)

farmgirl are you having a transfer tomorrow? Wishing you all the best also and maybe we'll both have babies for Christmas! I don't know, it's so hard not to get ahead of ourselves, my husband and I are discussing would we want to know the sex, will he take a month off work after the birth and all that is way way way ahead :/

miss c, was thinking about the TWW thread!

Grow little embies, grow!

Good luck sweet and very good results

Cb - Well done!

My fingers are crossed for you to get the BFP.

Cheers... Fi :hello:

Wishing you the best of luck tomorrow, CB. I hope that the transfer goes really well and the news you have about your embryos is really good :)

And then you can join the TWW thread, hun!

Good luck :pray:

Miss C :)

Thanks again everyone, we rang and checked up on the embies today and they are doing really well.

I tell you I feel a bit bad when I read that people had 26 eggs etc lol I thought 5 was a good result

Anyway the two we've got are doing well so we're being positive and looking forward to tomorrow.

Better than the one I got last time, as least they are being fertilized..

Oh hun I think 3-5 is good so don't worry :hug: and :bluedust: for tomorrow
