[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got 23 eggs 1:1, and ended up with 10 normal embryos. Normal fertilization is around 70%, I think. About half the resulting embryos using DE should be normal.  Our results were better than expected. Donors should be screened and have good AMH at or above 2 and be under about 30 years old. That info should be available to you. So you should generally expect better than average outcomes, but there’s no guarantee. If you go with a donor who had a donation that resulted in a pregnancy, you get a little more comfort. We were able to get info on the number of eggs and embryos, and whether there was a pregnancy from our donor’s prior donation.

We went through a couple donors that the RE recommended we pass on one For lower AMH and one for age.

Hope you’re successful!

My RE doesn’t seem to have reviewed the paperwork on the donor I chose (I’m using Fairfax Egg Bank). Can I ask where you did your DE cycle? I wonder if I should ask my RE to review the details. [/quote]

SG reviewed the info on a couple. I ended up going out to California bc the donor I chose wanted to use the same RE she had donated with previously and it was more convenient for her. We were advised to use fresh eggs due to MF issues. If you use frozen, the % fertilization will be lower as the freezing process is hard on the eggs. Blasts do better with freezing.

Once you know how many eggs, the AMH levels aren’t that relevant. Im assuming for the egg bank it’s all frozen and a set # of eggs. Age is still relevant though.  It’s better that the donor was in her 20s at the time of donation, but if the donor meets all their criteria, not sure I’d Pass if the donor happened to be 30. [/quote]
