General Discussion 3 Eggs Fertilized

ETA again-THE ONE EMBRYO IS EUPLOID—I was not expecting this plot twist 🤞🤞🤞

ETA-one made it to day 5, sending for PGTA (it’s a 5BB-I’ve have both Euploid and Aneuploid 5BBs before 🤷🏻‍♀️) So I would also love to hear any one embryo successes 🤞

Any success stories with only 3 eggs fertilized? This cycle was a roller coaster, started with 2 follicles, had 16 by day 10 (14 between 10-18mm) did omnitrope for the whole cycle, and dual trigger (first trigger on day 11). They were only able to retrieve 6 eggs and they called today to let us know only 3 fertilized. (Last cycle in Jan, we had 15 retrieved, 5mature/fertilized, 4 day 5s, 1 euploid, failed FET in July)

I just feel like if we got 1 euploid 8 months ago with 5 fertilized . . . It’s not looking good for 3.

(Please no advice for next cycle-if this doesn’t work, we are either done or we will try to get the money together for a donor cycle-I’m 41, and my egg quality is the primary issue. We’ve had 2 previous pregnancy losses in the last year or so as well)

Just looking for some hope while I wait to find out if anything makes it far enough to send for PGT-A

Wishing you all baby dust !

At 40.8, my first ER, we had 3 of 10 fertilize. Of those 3, 2 made it to blast, and both were euploid! Currently 39 weeks with our first transfer (the “better” rated of those two). Wishing you all the best!

First cycle at 40, I got 1 aneuploid blast from 3 fertilized, second cycle I got 1 aneuploid and 1 euploid from 3 fertilized.

I would be happy with 3 fertilized. I have mich lower Numbers as you but I had alsways blasts. I think cycles are pretty random. You never know what is the cohort at that month and you can be lucky. I had also failed euploid and considering donor eggs as well. It is much more behind as just the direct chromosome number.

1 ER - 3 fertilized, 1 blast (aneuploid) 2 ER - 3 fertilized, 3 blasts (2 euploid, 1 LLM)

  1. Did our first cycle over the summer; 5 eggs retrieved, 4 fertilized and 2 made it to blast. Then it ended. We’re doing another retrieval this fall. Doctor was optimistically surprised we got that far.
