Another question I would ask your RE is what your antrol follicile count is. This is the amount of eggs you will get approxiametly. If for example the # is 12. You won't get more then 12 eggs EVER. I would suggest since you are paying out of pocket to fertalize them all. Good Luck
UPDATE:
from my 3 remaining 3d embyro's. 2 FE transfered, now 7 week preg with a singleton!
My RE gave us the following statistics and I was wondering how they applied to everyone. He said of all eggs fertilized with ICSI, 75% likely will fertilize and of those that become embryos, 50% will make it to day 5. Has anyone found this to be accurate in their case?
1st ICSI cycle:
28 eggs collected, 17 fertilised all frozen on day 1 due to OHSS.
1st FET thawed 6 embies, only 2 were good quality on day 2 - BFN
2nd FET thawed 6 embies, again only 2 were good quality on day 2 - BFN
Plan to use our 5 remaining embies for final FET in a few months.
So far none of my embies have made it to day 5.
Everyone is different with the percentage that fertilise and the percentage that survive to day 5.
Good luck with whatever decision you make.
