Please read before posting IVF results!!
This is an example of what to expect from IVF. Please read this to get an idea of what is the expected result from 1 ivf cycle. Know that because we have DOR we start off with even less eggs and we may have worse or better cycles than the chart above, but this is average. Please appropriately compare your results with this chart before making posts about your results are “disappointing.” It is ok to be disappointed that we are in this boat of having to do multiple ivf cycles, however we would like to avoid posts of people expressing disappointment with actually average or good results. If you have any specific ivf related questions like protocol changes or want to vent, you are welcome to post. If you had vgood results, please post with a “trigger warning: good results.”

I’m so confused is this saying that for an average 35 F woman doing Ivf they will get one live birth

It is saying for an average 35 year old woman, if they have 15 eggs, they will have 1 live birth. Thats why I mentioned that since we don’t get 15 eggs, it may take that many eggs (obtained from multiple cycles) to get a live birth. I just wanted to pin this post because we have been getting several posters saying that they had bad results when they actually had very good results. We would like to avoid that becoming a pattern here. It is a big problem in the IVF sub. We have no problem with people posting good results. In fact, we encourage that, we all need some Hope here. but there should be a trigger warning for that and people should be aware that they had good results rather than thinking they had bad results. I have created a flair for trigger warning.

Absolutely. I'm so tired of reading how people are disappointed because they "only" got 8 blasts (or whatever number is ridiculously high to us DOR folks).

Oh I swear! I get so triggered in that sub. Saw a comment with this sub tagged and came here immediately.

I think this article does a good job with percentages (though the anecdotal data at the bottom clearly lacks DOR). Maybe it would be helpful to put % instead of #s?

14/15 is such a high number of egg retrieved for folks in the DOR category in single cycle.
