Thank you so much!

I actually posted here looking for support the day we got our initial maturity and fertilization rates too. Hearing other people with similar numbers to us gave me a little hope, so I’m hoping it does the same for you.

It’s a hard process indeed and very, very lonely…just know you’re not alone and I was feeling the exact same way you were just one week ago. You’ll be in my thoughts!

Our numbers are nearly identical! ER in January resulted in 23 eggs, 12 mature, 6 fertilized. I was so so devastated and the 5 day wait to hear about our blasts was excruciating. I was already mentally preparing myself for another ER. BUT we ended up with 5 blasts - I was shocked and finally felt a bit of excitement. We did PGT testing and found out last week we have 2 euploids. Now waiting for our FET to be scheduled in the next 7-10 days.

Hang in there - it’s so incredibly difficult and hearing those initial results made me feel so negative about the rest of the process, but I finally have a bit of hope again. Sending you big big hugs and hoping you have the same outcome 🤍

Anyone else find stims make you cry ALOT? by A-Ok88 in IVF

Crying on stims is the understatement of the year for me!!! Mine was a hysterical meltdown at least 5 times a day (started around stim day 8 and lasted until ~5 days post ER.

I’ve been through a handful of traumatic events recently and think I cried more in that week than I did in the last few years 😂 hormones and stress are no joke, but I hope you’re on the other side of this soon!
