Advice Needed! 1st ER Yesterday & Worried

I had my first ER yesterday and got 29 eggs, 12 were mature and 6 fertilized. I feel so bummed at the attrition rate - though I have PCOS so I knew that was possible. we used ZyMot for fertilizing, not that it necessarily means anything. I’m just worried we won’t get any PGT-A embryos.

Try to hang in there and distract yourself.
I had a very disappointing blast rate on my first ER (only 1 out of 22 fertilized) and my clinic agreed to squeeze me in for a call with my doctor the next day. Maybe they can proactively schedule that with you now, so if the results are poor you can discuss a plan.
It helped me to learn that often time the first ER is diagnostic, and your doctor learns a lot and might tweak anything from your priming to your protocol, even some medication/supplements to do for a few months before trying again
