OP, how are you doing?

I don't understand these numbers or how is that even possible.

I know. I had 26 eggs retrieved and my ovaries were practically touching b/c they were so full of eggs.

I had 30 eggs collected at my one and only IVF cycle and I was uncomfortable as hell. It was like someone punched me in the stomach all the time. OP, please be sure you get adequate monitoring because this can get very unpleasant very quickly. Even dangerous. Please take care of yourself. I can't imagine how it must feel with 56 eggs!

And good luck with the four embryos.

I would seek a second opinion. Your RE seems reckless.
