| I know it's anecdotal, but wanted to know people's experiences how old were you when you went through IVF, and how many eggs fertilized and made it to day 3? |

I was 38 during my last set of cycles. This is a good representation of how my cycles went as well, although none were a bfp. On the 4th and last cycle we dropped t minimal stim, retrieved 4 all looked good on day 3 transferred 3 and had a singleton. Good luck!! |

We used a 26-year-old donor.
23 eggs were retrieved, of which 15 were mature. 13 fertilized and all 13 made it to day 3. 5 blasts made it to freezing. 2 normal pregnancies from this batch. |

| 2 IVF cycles at 42. IVF#1 was cancelled due to poor response (2 follicles). For IVF#2 I had 3 follicles, 1 mature, poor fertilization with ICSI, nothing to transfer. |
