| We got 25 eggs, 20 were mature and 17 fertilized. I am very nervous to see how many will reach blast and how many will pass pgs testing. Doctor said the sperm looked good |

| Is this a question or are you just hoping to have others share your good news? Assuming you want just one, two, or three babies, sure 17 fertilized sounds good. |

| It is a question. I am not sure if these are good numbers I know it takes only one. My nurse said that less than half will reach blast and lest than half of that will be pgs tested normal not very reassuring. |

| Generally yes that number sounds “good” but it also depends on your age and your diagnosis and possibly what protocol you used. |

| Fingers crossed for you! It is all nerve wracking. It is so hard to wait and not know exactly what will happen. It sounds like you are on a good path. Yes, the numbers diminish as the process proceeds, however, 17 fertilized is good! Wishing you all the best and sending support. |

| This is an excellent number. If you want to grow them all out to blast and test them, then yes, you'll end up with less. |

| These are excellent numbers, vastly better than what most IVF patients get, so please take that to heart. You’re in great shape. |

| Honestly? It can go either way. I know it’s hard but just wait to hear what happens. |
