[quote=Anonymous]So you're aware, 15-20 is a pretty good # of eggs from someone young.  56 is usually associated with PCOS.  Also, for those in danger of severe OHSS (with 56, sounds like you are/were), REs will try to mitigate the risks during the cycle by adjusting meds.  I'm sure your RE wasn't aiming for 56 mature eggs, so ending up with 34 fertilized is probably a good # all things considered. I think you'll find that you'll get more blasts on day 6 (or day 7 if your RE allows them to go that extra day).  From a percentage basis, the # of blasts you get from the 56 eggs might seem low if you compare it to a cycle where OHSS isn't an issue, but for PCOS, I think you get a large # of eggs, but not necessarily a proportionally large # of normal blasts.  When you get your final #s, though, it sounds like you good end up with a good cycle.

Your RE should go over the results with you once all the testing comes in.  IVF can seem very disheartening - there are so many stages and it all just seems to get worse as it goes on and the #s get lower.  Good luck!!![/quote]
