[quote=Anonymous]My first cycle yielded 17 eggs, 13 fertilized, 5 made to blastocyst stage, no PGT testing.
Second cycle yielded 5 eggs, 3 fertilized. Today is Day 7 of waiting for results, doc said one is almost at the blastocyst level, 2nd one hasn't changed much since yesterday, those two are the most promising. 3rd one hasn't progressed beyond 9 cells, and may not make it. She'll call again tomorrow. We're doing PGT this round.

I know that different cycles yield different results. But I'm also anxious, mainly because this round was paid out of pocket and we haven't decided our next step if this one fails. And age is not on our side (I'm 41).
What different could we do next time? I know this is a discussion we should have with our doctor but I also want to be informed of any choices and advice from anyone who has experienced similar circumstances. 
Also, how slim do my chances look this time? Again, we won't know until tomorrow and every case is different, I guess I'm also looking for reassurances in someone else's similar journey.
Other than a huge bottle of wine  :lol: Speaking of which, would you drink during this stage of the cycle?
