Just finished egg retrieval. Only got 5 eggs which I’m a little bummed about. Has anyone had luck with a number that low? We are doing a fresh transfer.

I got 5 and was very worried myself. 3 got to blastocyst, and one came back genetically fine (we did genetic testing followed by frozen transfer). I’m 10 weeks pregnant today and baby is doing great! It’s true that you only need one good one. Wishing the best of luck!

First IUI cycle failed. 🙃 I hate everything

I had a failed natural FET in Sep & did a mock transfer 2 weeks ago (HFET). Results came back Receptive. I got my period 2 days after stopping the PIO. RE mentioned I can start embryo transfer this week & did not need to wait for my next cycle. My periods are not always regular, so I like the idea of not waiting for them to start but also nervous if this could impact the embryo transfer as it would not follow the same timeline as that of the mock cycle. Anyone try this approach with success?

Retrival yesterday and they were able to retrieve 10 eggs. I had 10 follicles. So happy. I hope everything after this goes well. This is my first IVF cycle. So anxious.

I had a surgery for ectopic pregnancy about two weeks ago and I’m still insanely tired. To add before the surgery, I was given one dose of methotrexate and my hemoglobin tanked from 13.8 to 10.8 between the first blood test ( May 1st week) and the last ( June 1st week). I think my tiredness is cause by a mix of low hemoglobin, methotrexate, and surgery. Any advice on how to get my energy back would be appreciated.
