Thank you everyone. I have two healthy embryos. Transfer of one embryo will be in New Year’s Eve 🙏🏽.. I’m praying for us all . I just want to be a mother . I pray that’s in Gods plan for my husband and I
Low Egg Count
I’m 38 years old. Had 2 ectopic pregnancies one in November 2010 & January 2017. I have no tubes. Recently had a myomectomy to remove 18 very large fibroids in March. This has been a stressful 2 years for my husband and I. I’m extremely emotional. I’m going to one of the best fertility clinics in Philadelphia I travel over a hour to get there . This month was finally going to be the egg retrieval and I was so excited to finally start my medications. So for two months my doctor has had me on the estrogen pill to make my periods come on early to check egg count . So for my age since May I have had a good egg count 8 or 9 follicles on each side. So Wednesday I go in on my second day of my period and my egg count is the lowest 3 follicles on each side how is this even possible. I’m so depressed and sometimes I think no one understands. I feel like giving up. So my IVF was canceled for this month . Now I have to wait till next month to see if they will increase . What can I do for more follicles how can I increase. I take COQ10 600 mg a day, Vitamin D & DHEA 75 mg a day . I change my diet to vegetarian not sure what else to do.

I’m sorry that you are going through all of this... it feels like such an emotional roller coaster. One day you are so excited and then something happens and you feel so defeated :(Have you tried acupuncture? I would recommend at least giving it a go if you haven’t. I would download fertility meditations and listen to them while I was having it done :)
I’m sorry you’re cycle was canceled, IVF is tough!! You are stronger though 💓Were unexplained and we only got 1 embaby after everything was said and done, no transfer yet. I can tell you what I’m doing now and what I wished I’d been doing soon...it’s a lot, but it helps me feel a little more in control- same pills as you, plus Vit B/Folate, Iron+Vit C, Conception RX for hubby, organic red raspberry tea chiropractor 2x a month, I’m starting acupuncture this cycle, diet is the hardest for me, but I’m trying to eat healthier - less carbs, no red meat, and more veggies, and lots of water. Good luck and baby dust!
Sorry to hear that. My ovarian reserve is very low for my age, and I was told to eat a lot of animal protein- the best for eggs are actually eggs & chicken. Not vegetarian at all. And I take herbs and do acupuncture to increase my egg quality. It only takes one good egg for a baby. I’d be very happy with 3 good eggs. Sometimes people have only 1 and it works. Don’t give up, it will work;) good luck!
