And Then There Were 3

After a starting line up of 4 last week, the follicle team is now down to 3 members responding to this crazy ass dose of stims.

Any other RE at any other clinic would be showing me the door. Instead, my Dr. smiled and said "well looks like we'll go in and get those 3 eggs sometime this weekend". That is what we'd agreed on last fall -to push though to retrieval with whatever we've got. Of course we are hoping for the best, but are well aware of the low odds.

So, I feel good about moving forward, but disappointed in my response after all the effort that has gone into getting to this place. 3 is far better than 0 of course. I really hope I've got 3 good quality eggs in there. Could we be so lucky to even have one of them develop into an embryo? If not, we'll at least have some closure.

    WHOO HOO!!! I was waiting for your results today. I am so glad to hear that you will be going to ER this time. FX for you SD. :)

    You have no reason to believe that they aren't of good quality so let's be positive and believe they are! If I understand your DX it's "Diminished Ovarian Reserve". This only means that your egg supply is running low, right? I am very hopeful for you!

    You have to believe in it. My very good friend had only 3, 2 fertilized and her baby is 2 years now. Good luck!

    Three is better than zero. Fingers crossed they behave and all grow up nicely together.

    Fierce competition alright! Let's hope the golden one is in this batch.

    Sending positive healthy vibes to your three eggies. FXed that at least one of them does the trick for you.

    Go go go!! You can do it! Last Septemeber I only had 3 eggs at ER, but they managed to grab 2 xtra's, and 4 out of the 5 were mature!! Ya just never know. I am cheering you on all the way!! :) :th_acheerlead: :th_acheerlead:

    Joining all the other cheerleaders! Sending positive vibes that the three include the magic egg. Three is a lucky number.I think it is great that Dr. H. has a "no egg left behind" policy.

    Good luck SD. Anyone who takes IF injections in a kayak deserves to make it to the finish line! :)

    Cheering you on! :)
