[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm having a donor egg FET this week.  The stats are pretty bad, 37% live birth rate, compared with about 50% with fresh.

So why do doctors consistently say that fresh is as good as frozen and the danger of an embryo not surviving the thaw is low--I know friends when they thawed for testing always lose at least one embryo.

I only have one, and if it doesn't survive the thaw, then no transfer.  I'd rather have that than a BFN, I guess, but then they should be freezing more embryos.  EVERY lab I've talked to says the way that an embryo looks has nothing to do with the chances that it's normal.  Consistently with friends, it's not their best-looking embryos that end up being genetically normal.
I'm so tired of battling this industry for proper service and real information.[/quote]

Ive had this same question about why they dont freeze more embryos. I had 5 embryos left after my first IVF cycle, but they told me they would only freeze one (which was the best of the lot). Meanwhile, most of the people from my cycle who are now 12+ weeks pregnant had embryos that were not AA or BB, they were just average embryos not great embryos. So now, after I had a failed IVF cycle, I am left with ONLY ONE blast to transfer for my upcoming FET. I don't mean to be distrustful with the decisions my clinic make, it is just very confusing to me.[/quote]
