What is a good number of eggs to see after 3 days of the stim meds?

I had to have 7 ultrasounds & blood drawn it took 2weeks the longesto of all my cycles..but the best I am now 7weeks pregnant with triplets.

thisi s hard to say because it truly just takes one sometimes... you see women with tons of follicles (you can't measure eggs just the follicles) and no eggs or mature eggs, women with low count of follicles but great eggs... What did the RE see?

bella - how many eggs did you have and how many fertilized and how many did you transfer? Triplets - wow - congratulations and healthy baby dust for you!

I only had 5 mature eggs out of like 8- 12 follicles..4 of them fertilized & we transfered 3 due to the fact that this was our 2nd to last treatment that we could do & I always had great embryo's 8 cell grade A.. You cant get any better looking embryo's then that & yet every time nothing.I honestly think it was the assisted hatching.The thought by my RE was that the shell the embryo had to come out of was to hard & taking to long so I didn't have enough time for the embryo to attach well .

Don't be alarmed by the numbers game! After 3 days of stimms on my 2nd US I had no Follies and by day 5 they started to grow and they grew fast. On my 4th US my meds had to be decreased. My 5th US my stimms were d/c'd. By the time I had my ER I had 21 Follies. Don't worry yourself about the numbers your RE has it all under control! :D

Every woman is unique and responds different to the stimm. med.
