[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The math isn't exact.  I was told you lose some at each step, but I didn't (at age 40).  All of mine fertilized (with ICSI), all made it to Day 5.  Of those, half made it to freeze.  Currently pg with one of the frozens.  You won't have any way of knowing until you get the final call.  [/quote]

This.  With my first cycle, I had five retrieved, two fertilized, and both made it to blast stage.  That was an unsuccessful cycle in that the one I transferred turned out to have what was likely a random chromosomal issue, but the other embryo is still on ice.  I opted to do a fresh cycle after that while I still had coverage.  All of my cycles (I was 34 and 35 when I did them, three total) had less than 11 retrieved, and a smaller fraction fertilized.  In my case, the survival rate to blast was very high (can't remember exact percentage, but like 80%).  I'm currently 24w with #2, using a frozen embryo from my third fresh cycle.  I probably did not even need to do the third fresh cycle, but I had changed clinics and wanted to start everything over.  I still have 7 frozen embryos, all pretty high quality.[/quote]
