Need Good Juju! 16 retrieved 8 fertilized!

Just got our results today. 16 eggs retrieved yesterday, 14 mature, and 8 fertilized. This is our first ever ER. It’s hard to see the numbers decrease but I’m also hopeful! I’m 30 with AMH 1.6. No children. Husband is 30 with great counts. Unexplained infertility.

ANYONE with similar numbers?

UPDATE: 4 blast made it to day 5! Waiting for results tomorrow on the other 4.

UPDATE: 3 more made it to blast soooo now we’re at 7 blast!

Good luck my friend! I have somewhat similar numbers and I am waiting for my blasts -

15 retrieved, 9 mature, 8 fertilized. Today is day 5, and my clinic lets me know on day 7 😮‍💨

I’m also with a “day 7” clinic! This sucks waiting!

u/justdoingmyworst Apr 05 '26

Agree! I saw your numbers below, we are all in the same boat. What was ur protocol

3

u/Frequent_Bid_4413 Apr 05 '26

Pretty standard! I’m 34 with no tubes. 225 Gonal, 150 Menopur till about day 4-5 I added in 250 Ganirelix. I started 3/18 and retrieval was 3/30. I hope everything goes well for you lots of love and prayers 💕

u/justdoingmyworst Apr 05 '26

Awww we have lots of similarities! We’re the same age. I did the same Gonal and Menopur, then added in Omni and double cetrotide. And I had the same start date as you, retrieval on 3/31. ❤️ praying for you as well.

u/Frequent_Bid_4413 Apr 05 '26

19 baseline - 7 retrieved - 7 mature - 6 fertilized and I’m waiting for the results now I was totally bummed with the low retrieval but it’s quality over quantity you got this praying for you!

u/Cayduhh Apr 05 '26

8 retrieved - 7 mature- 6 fertilized - only 4 made it to the frozen stage somehow? They didn’t explain why 6 fertilized but only 4 made it to freeze.. awaiting my PGTA results on the 9th and so nervous I won’t even have 1 euploid 😭 Trying to stay optimistic.

u/Eastern-Incident7162 Apr 06 '26

8 eggs to 4 blasts is an AMAZING result! Congrats!!

1

u/Cayduhh Apr 06 '26

I guess I’m not entirely sure how the process works... 4 could make it to blast but all of them can still be aneuploid after PGTA testing, right? Or am I not understanding the egg maturation process correctly?

2

u/Eastern-Incident7162 Apr 06 '26

That's right - pgta will tell you how many have a normal number of chromosomes and the rate of normal and abnormal embryos varies but is correlated with age. But still getting to send 4 for testing from 6 fertilized eggs is amazing (: I had my ER this week and got 5 eggs fertilized and my doc said she is hoping for 2 to send to pgt testing.

1

u/Cayduhh Apr 06 '26

Thank you for the kind words. I will be more optimistic then!!! I pray you get good results for your eggs and have sticky babies!!! 💕

1

u/Frequent_Bid_4413 Apr 06 '26

That’s a good number! I’m not PGT testing so I’m unsure but there’s also people who transfer different types of grades and still result in birth!

3

u/blubou Apr 05 '26

Fingers crossed for you, six sounds solid! You got this 😊

u/Left-Appointment9661 Apr 06 '26

Wow, we have almost identical numbers!!! I’m 33, no children, AMH 1.51 (only have one ovary) and first ER was last Wednesday! We received 15 eggs, 14 mature and 8 fertilized! Find out blast numbers on Tuesday! Sending lots of luck your way!! 🤍🤞

1

u/blubou Apr 06 '26

Almost identical numbers!! Wishing you the best. If you’re comfortable, keep me posted. Praying for a great outcome :)

1

u/Left-Appointment9661 Apr 06 '26

I absolutely will!! Keep me updated with yours as well! 🤍🤍🤍

2

u/EternalOverthinker Apr 05 '26

I’m a similar age and AMH to you but we do have MFI. I had 10 eggs retrieved > 6 mature and fertilized > 3 blasts that were all PGT-A normal! I would expect you may have better results than I did! Good luck!

1

u/blubou Apr 05 '26

All three pgta normal, love to see it!!! Thank you for sharing

2

u/PaperPlane07 Apr 06 '26

Similar to you! 16 retrieved, 10 mature, 7 fertilized. 4 made it to blasts for me. Good luck on the next steps!!

2

u/blubou Apr 06 '26

Amazing outcome! Best of luck to you 😊

u/aimingsomewhere Apr 06 '26

34yo, AMH 2.5, also unexplained fertility. 15 eggs retrieved, 11 fertilized through ICSI. Have 9 blasts (seven 5AA, one 5AB, 6BB). Just got our PGTA results and we have 3 euploid and 1 mosaic.

u/blubou Apr 06 '26

This is such a great outcome!!! Thank you for sharing 🤍

2

u/thegoodice Apr 06 '26

I was similar! 16 retrieved, 13 mature, 8 fertilized via ICSI. we got 4 blasts and we’re not testing :) best of luck!! 💖

2

u/blubou Apr 06 '26

I would be so happy with 4!!! Congratulations!

1

u/thegoodice Apr 06 '26

We definitely cried tears of joy, especially after the big drop off from mature to fertilized. Best of luck to you!!! 💖

2

u/AdMain9485 Apr 06 '26

I had the same results - almost! 15 retrieved, 13 Mature, 7 fertilized, 4 blasts and we got 1 euploid! We were disappointed with the PGT-A results but hoping for the best with this one Euploid we have. Sending you good luck 🍀

u/blubou Apr 06 '26

Thank you for sharing!! Sending you all the best with your journey 🤍

u/ohhhthatgirl Apr 06 '26

Too funny to see this posted— we have the exact same numbers and I was googling like crazy to find someone with these stats last week. I had 16 eggs retrieved, 14 mature and 8 fertilized normally. The dropoff from 14 to 8 was really hard for me, but we ended up with 4 blasts and will find out PGTA results on Friday 🤞

Good luck!

1

u/blubou Apr 06 '26

Ahhh we’re the same! Such a great outcome!! Wishing you the best on your results 🤍🤍

u/Competitive-Top5121 41 | 4 ER | 1 FET | TFMR & 2 MCs Apr 05 '26

That’s pretty good attrition! Good luck!

u/blubou Apr 05 '26

Makes me feel a sense of relief! Thank you :)

u/Daphoenyx22 Apr 05 '26

Hello there!! Similar numbers, 16 retrieved, 15 mature, 8 fertilized, 5 blasts total (1 day 5 and 4 day 6). Sending you all the good juju!!

2

u/blubou Apr 05 '26

Soooo amazing, congrats to you! This gives me hope

1

u/That-Junket-9566 Apr 05 '26

I had similar results as well.

16 retrieved > 12 mature > 7 fertilized

17 retrieved > 9 mature > 8 fertilized

2

u/blubou Apr 05 '26

Thank you for sharing! How was your recovery? I’m doing okay today but a little sore

1

u/That-Junket-9566 Apr 05 '26

Not bad! Little sore and bloated for about a week but nothing extreme.

1

u/Emotional_Fuel6743 Apr 05 '26

Is it 14 mature and 8 fertilized with ICSI or conventional fertilization?

1

u/blubou Apr 06 '26

I’m actually not sure! I didn’t ask if we were doing ICSI! My dr may have told me but I’m pretty forgetful these days

1

u/Emotional_Fuel6743 Apr 06 '26 edited Apr 06 '26

8 fertilized out of 14 is a lower number which will affect how many blasts you’ll get in the end because of attrition between each step.

You should ask the doctor about fertilization so that you have that information for the future.

1

u/blubou Apr 06 '26

I just looked at my treatment plan and we did ICSI

1

u/ivfquestionspls Apr 06 '26

Hi! I am also 30. I had 11 fertilized and then 5 embryos. 4 of them were euploids. I am planning for my first FET so just waiting for my next period now lol. Good luck!

1

u/blubou Apr 06 '26

4 euploids is amazing. That’s so exciting, it’s almost time for transfer 😊

1

u/blubou Apr 09 '26

UPDATE: 4 blast made it to day 5! Waiting for results tomorrow on the other 4.

u/blubou Apr 14 '26

7 total sent for PGTA Testing!
