Megan my complete story is in my blog there is a link in my signature. There are lots of us here who have had it work however sucky it is a numbers game
I have had EPU with 5 Follies and Less before and made it to transfer
Dont despair yet. I have had loads of follies/eggs collected. It really isnt about how many follies or eggs you get, it is about catching that one lucky egg. My last ET with two embryo's I was crying at transfer b/c we had no viable frosties out of 16 eggs !! I wouldn't go down that path again. Quality Vs. Quantity. You want Quality not Quantity.
I know how hard it can be to keep it together, try and net nature take it's course until scan Tommorow.
One of our LT members recently had only a couple of follies at scan and they cancelled her cycle, converted it to an IUI and voila she is now pregnant. Good luck!
Wow, wouldn't that be a wonderful surprise for her! Well thank you ladies for your replies! Am busy now reading TTC Journals and thinking of writing one for Kim and I!
I thought I'd just post my story to give you a bit of hope too
My first IVF cycle was cancelled as I only got 1 follie - started out on 125IU Puregon, no response so it was upped to 250IU and got the one follie.
My second cycle I started on 300IU at my insistence and had a scan on day 7 of injections (again at my insistence) there were 2 follies Dose was upped again to 450IU and next scan there were 3 follies, but the 3rd was a fair way behind the other 2. Anyway the 2 follies finally got there on day 15 of injecting and I triggered that night. At EPU though, we only got one egg How devastated was I....and my FS was pretty unhappy too, came and saw me in Recovery and was really apologetic, said they tried really hard to find another egg but couldn't.
Anyway, our lone eggie fertilised and got to day 3 looking really good, so FS was keen to do the transfer that day rather than risk losing the embie, which we agreed with, so the transfer went ahead on day 3. 12 days later we got a BFP and I'm now almost 19 wks preg.
I know this sounds so trite and I always cringe a little when I see it, but it truly does come down to quality not quantity - it only takes the one. I understand how upset you and Kim must be, I was the same - it stressed me out terribly the waiting and I was literally sick with worry. Not fun at all!
