Well...I'm so confused...everything has been going great...at least that's what they led me to believe. Now my nurse is saying I only have 2 possibly three mature eggs to retrieve. She says I can still retrieve and move forward wit IVF but I'm wondering if it's even worth it for only 3 eggs. What if they don't fertilize. My odds are lower now with only 3 eggs. I think the average is 8-12. I don't know what to do. Should i do it or start over? Does anyone have advice?

Anyway, I would allow the doctor to make the final decision, ask him about his experiences with this small number in the past and make your decision based on his medical opinion. This is what I would do becuase I really, really trust my doctor.
I had 25 eggs and they only retrieved 14 (ones they though were mature enough) Out of the 14 retrieved, 12 were actually mature, 10 fertilized, and 7 made it to the blastocyst stage. I had 7 type A blastocysts, tranferred 2 in me, and have 5 preserved for a later transfer. I am currently 7 weeks pregnant. Not sure if one or two took, but I will find out Tuesday at our ultrasound.
