[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My first round I had 23 eggs, 23 fertilized, and only 5 embryos made it to cryo. I did two transfers of two each and lost one to thaw. No pregnancies (age 37).

My second round (age 38) I had 6 eggs and bawled my eyes out when the doctor told me in recovery. If I couldn’t get a baby with 23 eggs, how the hell would I get one with only 6 eggs? Well, 5 of the 6 fertilized and 4 made it to embryo stage. I transferred two in a fresh cycle, one took and is currently asleep in her crib. Other two embryos are still frozen.

I stimmed lower on the second cycle and we did not PGS test. 
Just one anecdote, but in my case I had success when I started with x4 fewer eggs than my first cycle. It’s so trite, but you truly just need one to work and it’s hard to know when and which or if that will happen. Spend the next week keeping fingers crossed and thinking about what a next step might be if you don’t get the result you’re hoping for. I found that having a solid decision on what would come after helped me get through the process better as I had a roadmap of sorts to follow. Wishing you luck. [/quote]

Thank you for sharing!
Unfortunately, none made it to the cryo stage. With AMA, I'm wondering if taking a break for 1 or 2 months will make a difference. [/quote]
