I am on an entirely new protocol, pretreated with a testosterone etc and just got the call that I only have 5 follicles of a decent size on day 5.
There's no fucking point to continuing. I didn't think at 33 I would be so fucked.
It's probably time to throw in the towel before I add additional debt to grief.
Edit - thanks for all the responses, they're helping me frame this a little more positively, I am probably reacting emotionally to something that isn't clinically meaningful yet. Thanks all!
I’m sure everyone is different & it depends on a lot, but I was doing bloodwork & ultrasounds every few days and my egg retrieval didn’t happen until just after 14 days of the stim drugs….which sucked. But I only got 7 mature eggs (from 10 retrieved), of those 5 fertilized, and I just got the call today that they were able to freeze 4! Untested but very encouraging. Being in your early 30s should help even limited eggs/fertilized eggs develop into embryos. Also have you heard of ICSI? We didn’t end up doing that but that may also help the eggs you retrieve have a higher rate of fertilization?
