How many eggs were retrieved and how many did you end up with?

Question

Hi all!  Can you share your results on how many eggs were retrieved, fertilized, made it through each phase? And if you did PSG testing how many came back normal? Thanks!!

Answer

I just came to say this information will tell you nothing about how your numbers will turn out. Ten women can tell you they got 15 eggs and I guarantee you every single one will have vastly different numbers for fertilized, blast, grades, PGS results, and transfer successes. We are all curious how other people do, but it’s easy to get wrapped up in the numbers of other people. There are a lot of women on here who have unusually high numbers and seeing them over and over can be detrimental if you don’t get numbers that high. It can feel like you failed when that isn’t the case at all.

17 made it day 5 blastocyst
After pgs 12 were considered “healthy”

Answer

To give a slightly different perspective, I had 14 retrieved, 7 mature, 5 fertilized and 3 made it to blast.  We did not pgs test.  One of my frozen embryos is now 18 months, I’m 13w6d with the second and I still have one on ice.  So I didn’t have tons of eggs or blasts but I still am blessed to have two children with the possibility of a third.  I thought I’d have a ton since I have pcos, but the pcos really impacted my egg quality.  Unfortunately you just don’t know what’s going to happen until you are living it, so try not to concern yourself with what other people ended up with.  I know I was super upset to “only” have 3, but now, being where I am, I realize how lucky I am to have the 3 I do.

Answer

8 retrieved, 7 mature eggs, 5 fertilized normally, 3 5-day blasts. 24w5d with fresh transfer. Other 2 are PGS normal and frozen. 
Husband and I are 31 with unexplained infertility. 
No OHSS after retrieval. I went to work the next day- had mild-moderate pain that was controlled with Tylenol. Physically, it was easy. 
Another woman I know had 30 eggs retrieved, then suffered from OHSS and a longer recovery, but ended up with about the same number of embryos as me. Crazy how varied results / numbers can be between individuals.
