IVF-How old are you, how many eggs were retrieved and how many embryos made it to day 5?

Question

Hi TTC friends over 40,
I'd like to compare egg retrieval and embryo number comparison among over 40 moms-to-be!
I am 41, our recent IVF produced 8 eggs, 7 matured, 3 made it to day 1 embryos. 
How were your numbers?

Answer

Hi Renata, I am 41 as well and already on my 3rd cycle unfortunately. 1st: 3 eggs, 3 fertilizd, 1 grade A on day 3 transfered BFN
2nd: 6 eggs, 4fertilized, 2 day 5 ebryos B and C grade transfered BFN, 
3rd: 11 eggs, 5 fertilized, all frozen on day 1 due to high progesteron.

Answer

Hi, I’m 43. I had 4 eggs retrieved, 3 mature, 2 fertilised and developed well to day 2, both transferred, BFN. 
Next time, 3 retrieved, 3 mature, 3 fertilised and developed to Day 3, all transferred, BFN. 
With that few, there is no discussion of waiting to Day 5. I wish you luck! Still trying and hoping over here.

Answer

Thank you everyone for sharing!
It is day 3 for us today, 3 out of 3 are still w/ us ;). They are 8,8 and 4 cells. We plan to batch them (going straight to freeze).
Btw, it is our 3rd IVF, following 6 unsuccessful IUIs. 
IVF 1-9 eggs, 7 fertilized, 4 made it to day 5, we put in 2, froze 2. BFN.
IVF 2-7 eggs, 5 fertilized, 2 made it to day 5, we put in 1, froze 1. BFP, miscarriage at week 9.
Now we have 3 frozen embryos and hopefully adding to the batch w/ this cycle. We are torn between stopping after IVF 3 and doing a final IVF 4. Either way, next up will be PGS testing and hopefully transferring some. Egg donors are the only other option we'd consider if our own won't make it.

Answer

Day 5:
1 did not continue to develop, the 4-cell one, it was predictable.
One reached a desired stage to freeze.
One is still in the game for day 6 evaluation.

Answer

We had 6 retrieved 4 mature 3 fertilized 1 made it to 5 day transfer. We are moving into egg donor.

Answer

I’m almost 41, 6 x IVFs with ICSI - can’t remember all my numbers but my last one was: 11 eggs collected - 7 were good quality, 2 Fertilised the following day and both made it to Day 5 - 1 was transferred BFN. 2nd embie did not make it to freeze.
