Out of the 10 follicles that were developing, we got 4 eggs.
Three of them were immature.
They tried to fertilize 2 with ivf and the best 2 with icsi.
Three of them didn't fertilize. One fertilized abnormally.
oh no!! i'm so sorry about the outcome today :( try to remember that these first cycles are often a test run, since the docs can't predict exactly how you'll respond to the meds, even with all the lab tests in the world.
So so very sorry. Such devastation- I have been there. Take time to grieve and be angry ( this is SO unfair) and then know that so much has been learned from this first cycle. You will pick up and do it again and you will have better results. It took me 3 cycles to have my miracle and 4 for my sister to have her twins. Every cycle was hard but you can do it. The end is worth it. Sending you a big hug.
I am so sorry! I can't even imagine what you are feeling right now but like the others said the first one is sort of a test run (an expensive test run) but that is where they find out what works for your body and what doesn't. Had ours not turned out so bad with such a slim chance of it ever working I would have went on for round two. Hugs and Prayers to you ♥
I'm very sorry, Jill. I know how being so gutted feels and the sick to your stomach feeling, like you just want to catch a break. Given the low number of eggs retrieved and the low maturity and fertilization rate, I would have a long talk with your physician- that this was not the right protocol for you and your response. I'm so sorry my dear, It is a horrible, horrible blow after all the effort and anticipation.
I just read your news and I am so sorry. BUT, I am still hopeful for this whole situation! Your doctor will figure out a different and better protocol and you will push forward. Allow yourself time to grieve (I definitely needed time to be sad and it would catch me off guard in the weeks after) and time to heal. Sending a ton of love and healing thoughts.

DeleteNo! Oh Jill, I am so sorry for the loss of your eggs/embryos. I hate you went through the intensity of a cycle to have this outcome. :( Hugs!!!
