Waiting for blastocysts!

Hi Ladies - I had my first egg retrieval yesterday. I had 40 eggs retrieved, 28 mature, and 17 fertilized. I don’t know how I am going to wait a week to see how many make it, then another 2+ weeks for PGS testing. For those of you who have been through it, how many of your fertilized eggs made it? Xoxo

You’re def starting off on the right foot!!! I have diminished ovarian reserve so a lot of eggs was never in the cards for me. My first ER was 6 days ago!I had 11 eggs, 7 mature and 6 fertilized. All 6 made it to day three but only one is a blast so far. I’m mid process so I’m praying the call me today (day 6) and tell me 1-2 more made it. We are PGS testing too and I hope we have more than one to test. I am afraid of ending up empty handed...Good luck! ❤️❤️❤️ keep us posted!

I had 16 retrieved, 11 fertilized, 9 made it to 5 day freeze. After testing I got 4 healthy embryos and 1 inconclusive, which is right on track for my age (36, almost 37). My dr said that at my age I could only expect to have 40% of my eggs be normal. After only 16 eggs I’m pretty content with 4 normal embryos, but of course I would have loved to have more as backups for future pregnancies. Wishing you the best luck!

Wow! Those are some great numbers to start with! The wait is so hard, but you are in a great position. Good luck!
