[quote=Anonymous]Do you have PCOS? And did you suffer from OHSS during this cycle. Only asking because those with PCOS tend to yield high numbers of eggs (not necessarily high quality eggs) during retrieval coupled with the fact that there is egg quality issues with PCOS (due to hormonal imbalances such as insulin resistance & high androgen levels)  which in turns affects quality and growth of embryo. It’s not unusual with those numbers although it is frustrating. I had 39 eggs retrieved, 19 matured, 14 fertilized by ICSI and 5 embryos made it to day 5 blasts. The remainder embryos arrested (stopped progressing) at the morula stage. Mind you I was 32 at the time and was my 1st IVF. Right now not much you can do but to keep faith and hope FET will work in the near future. I am doing my first FET in couple of weeks and hoping for the best. And PGD/PGS was not recommended for me as I was young and never been pregnant before so not medically necessary at the time. having may cut your embryo numbers down as some may come back abnormal & they will not implant those. Wishing all the best and keep your fingers crossed. There might be good news soon. [/quote]
