IVF and # of eggs fertilized?

[Trusting77]

IVF recipients: How many eggs did you fertilize (particularly using ICSI) and how many of those actually became viable embryos?

10 eggs retrieved, 9 fertilized with ICSI. 7 made it to day 5. Transferred 2 and froze 5. Now 30 weeks pregnant. Plan on FET next year.

Thank you for sharing and understanding.  I'm sorry your first transfer ended in miscarriage, but happy that you have more embryos to try with.  Hoping your remaining embryos make it through the thaw and that your next transfer is a success.

Forgot to say GOOD LUCK and that only you and your DH know what is good for your family :)

Hi there,

I had 24 eggs retrieved, and 19 fertilized with ICSI.  1st transfer was 2 blasts and unfortunately miscarried very early.  Out of the 19, transfered 2 and froze 3 blasts, all others were not of a quality that my RE felt could survive a thaw.  So, next month doing a natural FET with however many of those 3 make it through thaw.  

I agree with Tones, since there is are no guarentees, I would (and did) fertilize as many as possible.  

Brandiw13 - CONGRATS on your TWINS!!!  How exciting!

So does anyone know the stats? Like what % of eggs that are fertilized actually make it to blast stage? Anyone have any numbers for me?

I had 30 eggs retrieved and 23 fertilized with ICSI. Two were transferred back to me and I'm almost 31 wks with twins :D
