Failed Egg Retrieval
Both myself and my husband are 30 years old and are currently doing IVF because of severe MFI due to Y-Chromosome Microdeletion in the azf-c region. We just went through our first IVF cycle this past month, and had our egg retrieval on 8/12. They were able to retrieve 14 mature eggs, which I thought was a great number. The next day we were told only 6 fertilized, and I do admit I was a little disappointed because I know how quickly those numbers can dwindle. Recovery from the retrieval itself was horrible, I was in pain and I could barely move from my recliner for 3 days.
Today is day 7, and my clinic called me this morning with news on how my eggs were doing. She told me that none of them developed and today started showing signs of degeneration. I am absolutely devastated, as this entire process has been so physically, mentally, and emotionally draining. I know the only option is to try again, but our insurance only covers 2 rounds of IVF after we meet our deductible, which we havent met just yet. So now we are down to 1 round to use, and I'm terrified we'll have the same results if we try again.
