[quote=Anonymous]On my last cycle I had about 8 eggs retrieved (maybe a couple more - I can't remember). I did the antagonist protocol at SGF at age 35. Five of them fertilized and all made it to day 5. Transferred one, got pregnant and had three left over to freeze. By contrast, when I did IVF at SG a few years ago on a different protocol, I retrieved about 18 on my first cycle and about 25 on my second cycle. The first one was BFN (transferred one, froze one) and the second one ended up with four good embryos (transferred two, froze two). So there really was no correlation between # of eggs retrieved and my success rates and there was a lot more attrition between fertilization and day 5 in those cycles than on my antagonist cycle. The doctor told me that they had been using the antagonist protocol more and more because it was producing fewer, but better quality, eggs. It really is quality over quantity. Good luck![/quote]
