Mature eggs

When did you find out how many of the eggs retrieved was mature ones? Thanks.

Re: Mature eggs

  • The day after my retrieval I got the report that of our 10, 9 were mature and 5 fertilized. After that, I got daily updates on progress but some clinics just wait for day 3 and day 5 to update you. If they didn't say, I would just give them a call tomorrow to see when you can expect news.

  • If you're not doing ICSI you probably won't know. During ICSI the eggs are stripped of their surrounding cumulus cells and this allows an embryologist to see features within the egg that indicate maturity. Usually given the day after retrieval.

  • They told us how many was mature today when they called about how many fertilized and we didn't do ICSI.
  • Sorry I should have clarified! At the time of insemination - you probably won't know what's mature or not. I guess it's a moot point since you'd be getting the results the day after anyway.
