[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's a ton of eggs to get in a 1:3 with SG.  Usually people are lucky to get 4-6, 8 being the most I have heard about in a while. I would say you definitely won the lottery with your donor.  She's a rockstar donor.  [/quote]

She's definitely a rock star--and she's 30!  I was hoping for 6, 8 was my shooting for the moon hope--and I have 50% more, and if that last one matures, even more.

I thought about how big her ovaries must be.  I even asked my nurse how they trigger her, because a Lupron trigger pretty much prevents OHSS, whereas an HCG trigger, with that many eggs, could really have caused a problem.  They use the Lupron trigger, so hopefully she'll recover quickly.  My cousin had BAD OHSS when she froze her eggs, and I didn't want that to happen to a woman who is helping me.

My nurse said that she has seen many donors produce 40+ eggs--it's not common, but not unusual.  I would guess they're usually in their 20s when they produce so many, but what do I know?

I feel lucky to have gotten so many, and so many mature!

To answer an earlier question, she said we ended up splitting the eggs almost evenly.  I would have gotten the least as the third recipient, so they may have gotten 14 each, for a total of 39-41 eggs.  I wonder if the others had a similar rate of maturity.

Fertilization report tomorrow![/quote]
