A related discussion,
ivf was started.
They retreived 35 eggs from my sister. 21 of them fertilized and were frozen. 14 total made it to my 4 IVF attempts.
2005 1st IVF-3 fresh embryos transferred
2006 2nd IVF=4 frozen---->1 son
2008 3rd IVF=3 frozen---->biochemical pregnancy/miscarriage
2008 4th IVF=4 frozen----->pregnant. 1st beta was 380 yesterday.
Throughout the 4 attempts 7 did not survive the thaw...
1st IVF they retreived 11, all mature, 9 fertilized, transferred 3, 8-cell embies. 2 more made it to blast on day 5, but not good enough quality to freeze.
2nd IVF.. TBD.. Current cycle.. I will be having ER either Sunday or Monday
I had 15 mature eggs retrieved, 9 embryos the day after and only 3 made it.
Good luck to you!
I only did IVF once. They retrieved 10 eggs, all mature, and all 10 fertilized. 2 made it to blast for 5 day transfer and 2 to the stage just before, but didn't make it to freezing.
I did ivf once and might have to do it again soon. 21 eggs were retrieved, 14 matured and 9 of that were embryos. Wishing you all the luck in the world:)
