[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused-are you banking embryos?  You mention previous IVF retrievals but didn't provide any details as to their success/failure (i.e. how many made it to blast, did you have PGS testing, etc). It's difficult to give advice without knowing the outcome of those retrievals. Also, is money an issue? Are you paying OOP for these retrievals? [/quote]

Here is the flow of things. I did 2 back to back cycles at this past winter/spring that yielded:

13 eggs -- 9 fertilized -- 4 blasts 
14 eggs -- 11 fertilized -- 5 blasts

I am not doing PGS testing bc my doctor thinks possibility of correction etc. it might not be doing me any favors.

They put in 7 of the 9 over 2 fresh transfers and one FET. (I previously transferred 2 PGS normal blasts from another clinic.) All 9 of those blasts resulted in BFNs and a chemical on the most recent transfer.

In August - Sept. an ERA found I am pre-receptive on day 5.  My plan had been to transfer my last two blasts and move to DE.  But I want to give this new information a chance to work and decided to do one last OE retrieval before moving on to FETs.

I am midway through the cycle and my results to date look poor. Because my transfer plan hinges on being able to put back blasts through an FET (mimicking the ERA), I think only 3 eggs is too low a number to count on any blasts. Maybe I should cancel this cycle.

I guess my questions are 1) Has anyone faced a poor outlook and considered cancellation? What did you do? 2) Has anyone seen follicles counts stall/decrease? How did your cycle turn out?
