IVF shows 4 follicles only 😭 anyone go through this?

Question

My ER was set for Monday but when I saw the doctor today she said I  had 2 good follicles and good that can still mature in time to have 4. Ill see her again tomorrow to see if anything has changed and what we decide to do with the cycle. Anyone have a similar story? I'm sad and scared

Answer

I only had 5, and I am currently expecting!  Don't give up!  Quality over quantity.  All you need is one good one 😊

Answer

At retrieval, I had 3 good sized follicles, 2 okay, and 3-5 that were not that big at all. They got 9 eggs, but only 5 were mature enough to fertilize and I assume those were my top 5 follicles. Four eggs fertilized, and as of day 3, all 4 are still hanging in there even though one is lagging behind. I think those top 3 were my good sized follicle eggs. As they say, it's quality, not quantity. I've seen people who collect 25 eggs and end up with 2. You just never know and it is a big gamble. Now I just hope mine make it to blasts for day 5 transfer!

Answer

Lovely, I don't have that many follicles either. I think maybe my level of expectation was higher because I see women on here getting something like 30+ eggs. But each of us is different and we all have our different issues going on. Those four follicles are probably perfect to produce sticky embies. No giving up Lovely.

Answer

I only ended up with 2 mature eggs.  Both fertilized and made it to blast.  They transferred one and froze the other and the transferred one took!  Quality over quantity!  Hopefully our one frostie will become a sibling to this baby one day.
