40+ IVF Egg Retrieval vs embryos

Bubba1974

Hello;

I just finished my first cycle of IVF and thought I would share my numbers, as I've spent many hours reading others stories/numbers and have found it informative and comforting.

40 years old

Eggs retrieved :16

Mature eggs : 14

Fertilized eggs :11

Day 3: 8  early stage embryos 

2 x 12 cell Grade A  2 x 8 cell Grade A  1 x 6 cell Grade A 1 x 5 cell Grade A  2 x 5 cell quality 2/3 

Day 5 : first update 3 going to PGD 4 others slower but could develop into blastocyst by day 6

Day 5: second update a few hours later 5 bio'ed and 5 frozen  3 others might make it to day 6

This has exceeded our expectation and will be celebrating with some bubbles tonight.

Keep the faith ladies you can do it!

I'm sure you have good intentions posting this, but random postings by people we don't know are mostly given the side eye.....

If you want to join the Infertility board, that would be an appropriate place for you, then hopefully you can move over to PAIF (pregnant after infertility). Good luck!

(Also, this is SAIF. We all have had our babies already......)

I don't mean to be a downer but I would wait at least until a BFP and your first u/s before celebrating. GL to you.
