What were your retrieval/blast numbers?!

Sarah • IVF Momma 🤍 Angel Momma🤍

I was just curious what your numbers were? I know literally EVERYONE is so diff and so many variables, just kind of something for me to read through and get by the next few days 😅

I cannot really compare to my first round because it was kind of a shit show after retrieval.

29 eggs. They didn’t ICSI. 0 fertilized day 1. Rescue ICSI yielded 5 fertilized. 1 made it to day 5 and frozen. High quality blast, untested, which is now my 19 month old! So I’m truly proof it only takes 1.

This round, diff protocol. And obviously the most important thing was ICSI. I have a high AMH so was on somewhat lower doses I think. 75 Menopur, 150 Follistim. Didn’t change my dosage at all. Stimmed for 9 days. Retrieval was yesterday and I got my day 1 report today. I was so so nervous!

24 retrieved. 12 mature, 11 fertilized. My clinic said that if more than 4 are still growing on day 3 then they’ll push them to day 5. If there are 4 or less they freeze on day 3. So obviously the next few days are nerve wracking and I’m hoping for at least a couple that make it🙏🏻 I would love to have another, but no matter what I’m so extremely grateful for what I have and will be okay. This process is so exhausting. We are literally unexplained, obvious fertilization issue. I have a high AMH but regular cycles. SA normal. No other issues.

Hope everyone is having a fabulous day and good luck to all with upcoming retrieval’s, transfers, and betas!! 🙌🏻🤩
