ER done.

KRoseToesKRoseToes member
in Infertility
ER was this morning. 6 collected, 5 mature. I'm pretty disappointed in that number because I'm considered young (29) and was at a risk for over-production. I know it's supposed to be quality over quantity, but I'm still worried. I woke up from the sedation crying, which is a common side effect according to my nurse. I felt pretty bad after the procedure, but once I got home, had food, and slept for a few hours, I felt a lot better. DH has been taking good care of me and I'm trying not to freak about the fert possibilities for my few eggs.

    Ticker warning.

    I just wanted to pop in an give you a pep talk (we've met IRL once-- and I have been following your blog a bit, silently cheering you on).

    Anyhow, it really is quality over quantity. I had an AFC at the start of my cycle well over twice what I had retrieved, so I was really disappointed by what I had retrieved, too. Then, I only had 6/9 fertilize, and I am old, to boot. It still worked though, and I even had some to freeze. So try to keep thinking positively, even though it is hard. I am keeping my fingers crossed that you get a 100% fert report back tomorrow!

    I'm young too, 23 when I had my first ivf cycle. I only had 5 eggs too. They said they wanted it that way to protect against OHSS. While I appreciate their thought process, more would have been nice, I totally know where you are coming from! Hopefully those 5 are fantastic!

    You are correct and it's quality over quantity.  My RE didn't collect the little ones b/c he said they would mature anyway. 

    I am still walking like a grandma, but I hope you are feeling better today!
