? for those with frozen embies

sept9thbride

How many embies did you have to start?

I had 9 total. I have 7 that are growing strong and 2 that are probably duds and I think we may be able to do a 5DT. I'm not sure if we'll transfer 1 or 2 blasts, but being OOP, I'd love to have frozen embies in case this doesn't work (though I'm trying to stay VERY positive!).

 I had only 5 eggs retrieved, 4 fertilize and a 3 day transfer of two - 6 and 7 cell. I had two more remaining but they were only 5 cell at the time. SO I never imagined having anything to freeze. I was SHOCKED when I found out one made it all the way to freeze.

My mom says that will be the one who sticks because she is a fighter... but we will not do a frozen until another fresh cycle and hopefully more then just the one to thaw.

we had 30 eggs retrieved, 20 ICSI'D, 15 fertilize, two transfered and 6 made it to be "on the rocks"?

IVF #1 - 9 fertilized, 2 transferred, 3 frozen

IVF #2 - 12 fertilized, 2 transferred, 1 frozen

IVF #3 - 8 fertilized, 2 transferred, 1 frozen

They were all 5-day transfers

We had 15 fertilize-2 blasts were transferred, 7 blasts made it to freeze. We've done 2 FETs with 2 blasts each, so we have 3 more "on the rocks"

We had 13 eggs. 12 fertilized, 5 made it to 5d and 3 of those were frozen. All 3 thawed.

IVF #1: 14 eggs, 10 mature, 8 fert, 2 transfer on day 3, 1 froze

IVF #2: 10 eggs, I think all were mature, 5 fert, 2 transfer on day 3, none made it to freeze

I think if you have 7 in the running now, that is a good place to be. I wish we would have gambled and gone for the 5 day with IVF #1, but we were worried that they would all fizzle out and we wouldn't have anything to transfer.

14 eggs, 11 mature.  7 fertilized.

 

We transferred two blasts and there were 4 to freeze.  I was shocked that we were able to do a 5-day transfer because I figured some would crap out by day 3...guess you just never know!

We had 14 eggs, 9 embies.  I did a 3 day transfer with 2 embies.  Out of the 7 left, only 2 made it to freeze. We're going to do FET sometime this year (or in January/Feb).

7 fertilized, all made it to 5 days, 2 were transferred & 2 made it to freeze.

I had 10 embryo's fertilize normally and transferred 2 and wound up with one left to freeze, which feels like a waste to me b/c I wouldn't do an FET unless I had more than 1 in case it doesn't make it through the thaw.  Hoping for more this time around, but I started out with the same number of eggs so I don't feel incredibly optimistic.  My RE will only freeze embies that make it to day 6.
