    My first egg retrieval, I got 4 eggs, 3 fertilised and we had one to transfer none to freeze. Second retrieval, got 5 eggs and 4 fertilised, we got one really good quality embryo which we froze. Third retrieval, we got 7 eggs with a double trigger shot, but only 4 fertilised, and one embryo made it to transfer but none to freeze. Both of the embryos we transferred (from our first and third retrieval) were poor quality and both failed. We are really hoping our frozen one from our second cycle is our baby. We are going to do further testing before transferring that one though. Thank you so much for sharing your story - I really relate to so much you are going through. We have unexplained infertility too and my egg reserve is also on the low side. IVF is a really hard process especially if you don't get the results you were hoping for, but we just need to keep going in the hope that one day it will result in our babies.

    Not going through IVF, but my best friend is and I’ve been following your journey to understand a bit more about what she’s going through! She doesn’t like to talk about it much, which I totally support, but this really helps me to understand the different stages/steps and emotions she may be feeling. Thank you for your transparency! Sending you guys so much love! ❤️

    I am wishing the MOST baby magic on those four eggs. You were spot on with what you said about feeling let down when you don’t get as many eggs as you’d hoped. I consumed so much media about egg retrieval where people had gotten like 15-20 eggs and when that was not my case I was definitely disappointed. I’m so thankful you’re sharing your story because I can’t imagine how many other women you are supporting through this strange, magical, infuriating, madness making, but hopefully baby making journey!

    My clinic recommendeds egg retrivials with no anesthesia. I was SO nervous but I listened to their recommendation. I was giving a anti anxiety pill before the procedure and during they gave me one shot in my ovary of just local anesthesia. During the procedure I actually laughed to my doctor and said “that’s it?l! Lol. I was so relieved that it didn’t hurt. It felt a little worse than a Pap smear for me which was so tolerable. The most AMAZING thing that I’m so happy I was fully awake for was I got to see LIVE my eggs being extracted and sorted and fertilized. I have the photos and videos on my phone to share with my future children. I did 2 egg retrievals for 2 cycles and was fully awake for both and it was such a breeze. After the retrivial I went for a nice lunch with my husband. So glad I did it! I am now 10 weeks pregnant with my first frozen transfer!

    honestly vlogging your experience must be so hard. I'm barely going thru my 1st round and I couldn't imagine vlogging everything. It definitely takes a special person(s) to do this. I admire you. Your videos definitely help with my anxiety. thank you! ❤

    • @macdingle

      you're so so sweet 💕 vlogging has actually been such a nice distraction for me through this process!

    You are right, it is never over. But that can be a good or a bad thing depending on how you look at it. Not being over means you have another chance, another shot at what you want. All those hormones made it so hard to control your anxiety so those nurses have probably seen way worse than you were acting. You were handling that anxiety like a pro! Expressing how you felt is good practice for when you will have all of those pregnancy and postpartum hormones ❤️ you got this!

    I am up with my two year old she is sick
    It's 2am and what a perfect vlog to watch to keep me awake. I know how disheartened you may be with 4 eggs but you are young and quality over quantity. I'm 43. I had my first epu in October I got 9 eggs...7 fertilised...2 made it to day 6 blastocysts. Both ended in miscarriages ( one at 9w one at 6w2d) I did my 2nd retrieval a month ago. I got 6 eggs. 4 fertilised and 2 blastocysts
    Sometimes less is best 💚
    I can't wait to hear how many fertilised and how many embryos make it to day 5/6 x
