How many embryos made it to transfer?

[peppypeep]

For those of you who have done IVF at least once, how many of your eggs made it to transfer?
I would also like to know, if you are over 40, how many follicles you had?
Just curious. Last month on my natural cycle they saw 7 follicles brewing (4 on R, 3 on L).  I just turned 40 three weeks ago.  Would love to hear from you!

OOOOPs!  Sorry I meant I will have my egg TRANSFER on Friday!!!!  I think these drugs and shots are making me loopy!

Last night I had to give myself the dreaded progesterone shot.  I did it in my thigh and now my muscle in that thigh is sore.  I will have to try to get the shot into my butt instead tonight and see how that works for me.  I don't have to be back at work until Monday so I can experiment with the different areas for the shot.

Anyway, just dreaming about my four embies, hope and pray they are doing well and that I will see them tomorrow!

OK so had my egg retrieval and they got 5 eggs.  Today I found out that 4 fertilized!  I'm very happy and will have my egg retrieval on Friday morning. Can't wait.

OK final stats:
Follies are measuring
22mm
20mm
19mm
17mm
15mm
E2 756

I will trigger tonight at Midnight and ET will be Tuesday morning.  Yay!   My E2 went up well enough to satisfy the doc's concerns so all is a go.
Wish me luck!

1- 14 mm
1- 13 mm
2 "too small"
E2 524

UPDATE!!

Got the call from the ivf nurse, guess they want me to stim one more night!!!!   So probably trigger Sunday.  My E2 came back 524, up from 415 yesterday.  They said they want to get my E2 up a little more and grow some of those smaller follies.  So I have another u/s tomorrow morning and hopefully, this will do it!!!!

I felt really good when I left the doc appt this morning and sooooooooo happy that the follies grew so much.  So it looks like maybe a Tuesday ET and hopefully at Friday transfer.  Anyway, I have had a very busy day and am finally home to relax.   I'll keep you posted as to my progress tomorrow!
