20 eggs. I was in shock. Mt first u/s I only had 8 follicles. I was so upset – cried in the elevator. RE kept telling me my cycle was “decent.” I hate that word. Have you done IVF yet? [ Reply | More

Wow! Quite a lot indeed. You must have been very uncomfortable before retrieval. Did you experience a lot of bloating? I myself am only on my 7th day of luprons, waiting for the bleed and the stims to follow. First IVF. [ Reply | More

This is also my first IVF. I really wasn't that bloated. Just a little yesterday. RE said many eggs were small but that those eggs are sometimes also good. Of course, I’m just hoping for one good egg! So when you go for your first u/s, on the off chance they don’t see a lot of follies don’t despair! They get more at retrieval. I also read they can’t see all the follies on the u/s [ Reply | More

thanks for the advice. any other tips? the unknowns are so many and hard to deal with, especially for a control freak like me. for example, just waiting for the lupron bleed has got me all occupied. [ Reply | More

LOL. I am also a control freak! Called my RE day before ER b/c I was convinced that I would ovulate prematurely and there wouldn’t be any eggs at time of retrieval. Stupid I know. My advice is that, hard as it may be, is to stop researching everything on the net. I have spent countless hours researching and nothing turned out to be what I had convinced myself would happen.

thank you! My sister, who also did IVF, said is there anything you have not researched? She was either 31 or 32 when she did IVF and it worked first try. Given your age and diagnosis, I think you have a great chance at success first time around! [ Reply | More

Not sure how optimistic to be. Was given a 30%-40% chance. I also have a gray zone FSH. [ Reply | More

I didn't think they were good odds. I think I wanted to hear something like 80-90% :) [ Reply | More

I know. I was a little disappointed at 45%. I was hoping to hear 50-60%. Now that I have endo my RE won’t even commit to a number. Tells me he has to first see how the embryos look. [ Reply | More
