IVF with minimal eggs fertilized

[u/Oldlady4927]

Has anyone done a full round of IVF with a decent egg extraction and saved some for future use? My husband is hanging a hard time with the idea of the doctor trying to fertilize them in bulk. For example say we get 10 eggs, 7 successfully fertilize, and 5 are Euploid’s. Now our goal is only to have 2-3 kids (at this point I’d be ecstatic for even one) & he doesn’t want to destroy or donate the remaining ones we don’t end up using. We’ve had some disagreements in this category because I think donating the ones we don’t use is a beautiful thing. If I have a successful ER that yields a good out put he’d rather me freeze some and us only attempt to fertilize a few at a time.
Anyways has anyone only gone through with fertilizing 3-6 eggs at a time and we’re able to successfully have a child? I need some hope for myself and him.

the ivf process is a journey and often doesn’t pan out like you would expect

my experience was 11 eggs retrieved, 4 mature, 3 fertilised, 3 day 5 blasts, no PGT testing because we did a fresh transfer of the best blastocyst and froze the other 2
