Just back from ER

Of the 29ish follies that were measurable in my last u/s, only 9 eggs were retrieved.  I know this is a totally respectable number, but I'll be honest, I'm a little bummed - we're doing PGD were hoping for big numbers to increase our chances.  Now just laying low and trying to keep calm until the fert report tomorrow.

I can understand your disappointment but try to stay positive. Quality over quantity and hoping you have some awesome embies tomorrow!! Rest up!
TTC since June 2011
DX: DH (30) severe MFI, severely low count & low motility
Me (32): all clear
Appt with Urologist 5/21/12: exam, ultrasound, bloodwork all normal.
Testicular Biopsy with TESE on 6/8/12. good sperm found! (left side only) froze sperm, failed thaw test :(
Orientation for IVF/ICSI on 6/13/12. Waiting for the green light following biopsy results...results show adequate sperm production both sides.
2nd SA 6/18/12: sample is "adequate for ICSI"
Plan: IVF/ICSI July 2012!
ER: 7/26/12. 15 eggs retrieved, all mature.
TESE/TESA/aspiration from epididymis, no motile sperm found :(
froze all eggs, the saga of praying for good sperm continues.

Plan: more SAs, third biopsy/TESE with frozen back-up either from DH or DS.
SA 8/17/12: Zero sperm
SA 8/23/12: Zero sperm
9/26/12: SPERM FOUND! 15 eggs thawed, 12 survived and were ICSI'd, only 3 fertilized normally. Refrozen as embies and will thaw in Nov. Please survive and grow!
All 3 survived the thaw on 11/15/12!

I've had a really hard time coming to terms with the fact that I'm only growing 7-8 follies but my RE assures me... 9 retrieved is the optimal number for success!! FX for your 9!

Congrats! 9 eggs is quite respectable indeed. Are you doing the PGD for gender selection, or just for genetic testing? And you've got it right, just relax as much as possible over the next few days. Being stress free is very helpful to a successful implant i've heard.

 Best of luck!

I understand your disappointment, especially since you were expecting so many more.  We have a BT too and are doing PGD so I know how important it is to have a good number of embies to test. FX for a great fert report tomorrow!

PGD for genetic testing, thus hoping for big numbers.  I'm not sure being stress free through this process is possible, but I'm doing my best to relax and keep my mind occupied.  Thanks.
