3rd retrival and disappointed in numbers

We had our 3rd Retrival Saturday and got 9… only 9 and from the ultrasound it should have been close to 20– I don’t know or understand what happened. Our update phone call today was even more disappointing— 6 mature but only 3 fertilized—this is the lowest numbers we have had and I know it only takes one. But we are also doing PGTA testing and I just really worried we will t even have one to transfer — wondering if we should do another retrival back to back ?… I don’t know

How many children do you want? And how many embryos that are good quality/normal do you already have? We had just 2 perfect embryos and have now 2 kids;) just saying. Best of luck!!

I don’t know how old you are - but 2/8 normal sounds great! You only need one :) good luck!

Right now we are shooting for 1… we don’t have the genetic testing back but right now odds are not looking good — the first round we sent 8 and only got 2 back normal - 2nd round we sent 4 and this round as of right now we have 3 out of the 6 that fertilized … I’m hoping and praying that all 3 make it to day 5-6 blastocyst but I’m jut not feeling that optimistic

We only got 7 when we also had around 18. They were not able to access one ovary. However all were mature. Six fertilized. Five made it to day five. We transferred two and froze three. She's six now.

So that sounds good! Two passed all of the tests!

Those are great numbers on the fertilized and blastocyst stages — after blast stages and genetic testing the last 2 rounds we had 2 that came back normal
