[quote=Anonymous]I had 26 eggs retrieved one cycle at age 40 and nine months. And I do not have PCOS. But 24 or those 26 eggs arrested in the dish before day five. I was devastated. Of those two survivors, only one tested genetically normal. But she was perfect--a 5AA--and she is now the most delicious toddler imaginable. Go figure. Another cycle a few months later I had 13 eggs retrieved and was again devastated. Based on my attrition rate in the prior cycle, I figured I'd end up with nothing. But five of those 13 made it to day five and three were genetically normal. One of those "normals" is now a hungry infant keeping me awake tonight. The other two are still on ice. My point is simply that numbers during stimulation and retrieval really don't tell you much about the end result. More is not necessarily better. And one good quality egg really is all it takes.[/quote]
