ER Today...I am so nervous

Rebecca521 · 05-17-2008, 05:30 AM

Hi Ladies,

I am on my way for my egg retrieval. I am so nervous and excited. My last cycle was canceled due to poor response. This cycle she hopes to get 4-6 eggs -- still low but I am going for quality over quantity.

I did not sleep a wink last night and I am dying of thirst.

THank you for listening -- have a great weekend.

Rebecca-it is all about quality

so don't worry at all about how many you have. You only need one or two

Good luck today!

ER is usually pretty easy. The worst part is the IV. Try to relax and enjoy the "sleep."

Hi Ladies,

I thank you for the good luck. THe ER was not that bad. Well they only got 2 eggs. The right ovary which had 4 follicles only had liquid in them -- no eggs. What does this mean? I was a little bit too groggy to ask for more details -- I am not sure if the egg ovulated too soon or was it truly an empty follicle. Has this happened to anyone?

THat was the first thing I asked -- how many eggs and I heard two and I just started crying. The doctor said we only need one and that the eggs were mature and DH had some good swimmers. So we shall see tomorrow. I was just hoping we will have a little more to work with.

I feel a little sore and tired. So I am going just to relax and take it easy.

Thanks again ladies
