How many eggs and how many blasts?

Question

Hi everyone!
I have just completed a FET and have been thinking about the girl next to me in the waiting room who was devastated she only have 8 eggs collected. 
It reminded me of when I went through the exact same thing 5 years ago and was just as devastated! 8 eggs retrieved and ending up with 1 fresh transfer and 2 frozen just felt like I had failed.
Only now do I realise that IVF is definitely quality over quantity. I’m hoping this thread may help other women who are feeling down or stressed over the amount of eggs retrieved.
So on that note, I’m curious to know how many eggs you had retrieved and then how many made it to transfer/freeze?

Answer

10 retrieved, 8 mature and fertilized, 7 day 3s but only one made it to blast. Fresh transfer and currently 18w pregnant with that baby girl 🥰

Answer

14 retrieved, 7 mature, 5 fertilized, 3 frozen (untested).  Two FETs have resulted in my two kids.  Last embryo still frozen!

Answer

8 is not bad! I had 8 retrieved, 5 fertilized, 1 fresh transfer (now my 13 month old son) and 2 frozen euploid blasts (1 of which I’m now 7 weeks pregnant with).

Answer

Retrieval was a month before 38th Bday, after recurrent losses likely cause quality/chromosomal issues….. 17 eggs retrieved, 14 mature, 14 fertilized, 7 blasts (mix of day 5, 6 & 7), 3 PGT normal ( day 6 & 7)….currently 7w4d after 1st FET.

Answer

8 retrieved, 5 mature, 3 made it to blast, and 2 normal after PGS.

Answer

25 retrieved, 21 mature, 20 fertilized, ended up with 11 Day 5 blasts.

Answer

Had 19 retrieved, 16 matured, 16 fertilized, and 14 blastocyst.

Answer

11 retrieved, 10 mature, fertilized and blasts. 
7 normal, 1 no result, 2 abnormal.
Currently 6w4d, confirmed heartbeat today!

Answer

22 retrieved, 20 mature, 19 fertilized, 12 blast, tested 8 of the 12. So we had 5 tested, 4 untested. Used 2 (one chemical, one currently 9w)

Answer

Agreed! I only had 6 retrieved but 4 were fertilized and made it to blast, 2 PGT normal. Doing a 2nd retrieval next month before trying a transfer (I’m 42).
