The difference between eggs and follicles – what every IVF patient needs to know

Each mature follicle normally contains 1 eggs, which means if you had 10 follicles , you would expect the doctor to retrieve 10 eggs .

However, if the number of eggs the doctors collects is much less than the number of follicles, this is the analysis you need to do to try to figure out what happened

Before the egg collection, you need to find out how many mature follicles there are on your ultrasound scan , and what your blood estradiol ( E2) level is. Tragically, we find that many doctors don’t bother to share this information – and patients don’t even ask . This ignorance can be a huge problem , and that’s why you need to be actively involved in your treatment . Ask these questions during each scan, rather than after you find out that the doctor wasn’t able to retrieve as many eggs as expected, because by that time, the damage has already been done

Sometimes the doctor isn’t able to collect any exit all and This can happen when the follicles are quality bust before he gets around to react election is not very common in a good clinic that can happen if listen time properly problem with a lot of doctors is this seem to be in a rush to do as many procedures as possible which means if there are 5 and 6 elections in a day they will only spend about 5 to 10 minutes in take pride in how far they are and how quickly they finish the procedure but what this often means is that they are not systematic hot deliberate OK full as a result of which even though their eggs in your follicles they don’t take the time and trouble to collect them this is special your problem if you have ovaries which are pigeons and the doctor will say well I couldn’t get the tip of the needle to reach the ovary because the ovary was in the accessible for this actually means in the doctor was technically in completed and didn’t spend enough time and energy and patience in collecting all the eggs which is the complete unfair on you because this means that you’ve wasted your chances and reduce them significantly

Sometimes doctor doesn’t collect any exit all and this is called an Empty follicle syndrome and this happens if the HCG injection is given properly for any reason more about this distressing situation which is completely iatrogenic at

Another problem we sometimes find is that doctors aren’t always very honest with the patience which means even the collect all the eggs they some of the next to other patients without even bothering to inform the patient and they do this dedhi practice because patients are clueless and didn’t get away with the cheating and thus allows them to maximize their income because they can charge the patient for react election in the can charge the other patient for a Donor excitel this is obviously completely an ethical and legal that tragically many can expect in your do this and it into getting away with it which is why you need to be actively involved in exactly what’s happening to you

And finally the problem sometimes may not be with condition but we could be with you bro registered this especially a problem when the embryologist is not very well trained or is junior which means that when the doctor collects the follicular fluid and send it to the embryologist ID because the training is not very good at the microscope is not very good though not able to identify the eggs as a result of which which day collect is much less than the number of molecules and this is why it’s so important that not only did you have an experienced IVF specialist as a condition you also have been experienced embryologist both of whom are used to working with each other and will do whatever is required as far as time energy and expertise goes to maximize the number of text in Calicut for you because obviously the more the next you have the more the average you will have on the better your chances of getting pregnant.
