[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I should have added that - I definitely have DOR. But of the 7 retrieved, all were mature. So I am still trying to understand why 5 didnt respond at all?[/quote]

From what I've heard, fertilization rate is egg quality, the drop off from day 3 to day 5 is the sperm quality. Day 3 is when the embryonic genes are turning on and dad's DNA needs to kick in. Sometimes it is just dumb luck and being on the wrong side of it. [/quote]

My knowledge isn't as detailed as above poster as I was just IUI on low dose clomid, but my memory is kinda consistent with above poster as to Sperm quality/ viable number of sperm in sample after thawing being key to success.

Here is what I remember: the team doing my US just before my IUI would start got excited at something they were looking at ( visible to me from my feet in the stirrups ) . So, I said , " what is it ??? " And they flipped the screen for me: it was a huge egg about to release and you could almost watch it live.... it was like a full blue moon or something .. the Dr then said to the Nurse, " go get me the vial with the highest sperm count " , he looked at me and said, " we will start in about 30 minutes "
