I need major reassurance....

I had my ER this morning.  I guess because I stimulated so well, I assumed we would have a lot more, but we ended up with 9 eggs that they thought were good.  Is 9 a good number? 
It just worries me.  I know that so much can happen and I was praying for more.  I worry that we won't have any to freeze...OH HELP ME BEFORE I LOSE MY MIND.  My poor DH keeps telling me "It is FINE!"

    9 is good!! It's better than 8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 or none! Yes  I know it sounds like a cliche, but the truth is, you just need one good one.

    Sending you lots and lots of good fert vibes!!!! Hang in there!

    9 is a great number. Quality is far more important than quantity.

    I totally understand.  We got 9 and I was expecting more and I was really disappointed.  BUT everyone else is right, it only takes 1, and as long as there are some good ones there, you're set! 
    Good Luck!

    I've had 4 ER's - 1st they got 22 eggs, 2nd they got 30, 3rd they got 12, 4th they got 10.  Wouldn't you know that # 4 with the least amount of eggs retrieved was my lucky cycle.  It's easy to worry that you didn't get enough but it really is quality over quantity.  good luck!

    That is a GREAT number!

    For my first IVF we got 14 eggs, but 8 fertilized.

    For the second cycle we got 10 eggs, but all 10 fertilized.

    So during the second cycle I had fewer eggs but ended up with more embies and one more frosty.  

    Really quality is what matters. Hoping you have some rock stars in there!

    9 is very good. There's no guarantee that you'll get any to freeze, even with many more mature eggs retrieved. Isn't the goal to get KU?

    I know exactly how you feel!  We had 9 also....and I was upset b/c I wanted more.  But as we all know "it only takes one."

    remember it is quality over quantity.   my first IVF I had 15, 13 mature, 10 fert and had 4 make it to freeze.  with my second, I had 32 eggs, twenty something mature, 21 embryos. . .and none made it to freeze and I had to have a 3dt . . .

    T&P that your embies are beautiful and you'll get some perfect frosties!
