Ohhh sweetie, I totally understand - really. I just had my ER on Tuesday and I sobbed like I haven't sobbed in years when I came to and immediately asked how many - their answer was 4, and I was crushed. I cried so hard that they had to give me more sedative, my O2 sats got too low as I was hysterically crying. I feel your pain
This process is so emotional, and so expensive, and so intense that all you want is the best odds, which you and I both know means more good eggs, and to hear that even after doing everything we were told we only got so few eggs is just awful. I'm sorry you had to share my experience.
I don't have a success story to tell you, per say, as I'm only in the TWW, but I can tell you that it seems to me that quality is SO much more important than quantity. I had just 4 eggs, and have never been so upset in my life, but at least they were all mature. Then of those, I'm relieved that 3 of them fertilized perfectly. Then of those 3, all 3 were growing well enough for the 2 embryos that we wanted to transfer. I won't know until tomorrow if the 3rd is freezable, it didn't look likely, but as for this cycle I still ended up where I wanted to be - PUPO with 2. And like I said, you and I both know that the odds with more eggs are better and it gives room for more selectivity, and maybe even future FET's, but don't loose hope sweetie. Those might be the best 6 eggs you've ever made in your life
Keep me posted, I'd love to hear how your prize eggs are doing!
