[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did my first IVF at age 41.  They retrieved 42 eggs.  40 were mature.  36 fertilized normally.  28 made it to day three.  At that point we had PGD done on all 28.  Of the 28 day three embryos, only 4 were normal.  All four made it to blast.  We transferred two healthy, PGD normal embroys and got pregnant with a singleton.  We froze the other two.  When trying for DC #2 we did an FET with the remaining embryos.  One disintegrated during the thaw and the other was transferred but did not produce a pregnancy.  So....40 mature eggs.  one baby.  I really wish that they had given me lower dosage meds.  I think if I had fewer eggs, they might have been healthier.

Good luck to you.[/quote]

I've wondered about this myself. Were you at SG PP? I'm hopefully going to trigger tomorrow (I feel like an egg farm). From my last cycle 3 years ago I got a healthy baby from 36 eggs, and nothing to freeze. So 1 out of 36. This time it looks like I have 40+ follicles. I am so uncomfortable and I wonder, wouldn't it make more sense to use a lower dose and let the naturally healthy folicles develop? Isn't this sort of the idea behind "natural" IVF? I know I am very lucky to have been successful the first time, but I never really quesitoned my protocol, and now I am. Also no one at SG has every used the term "PGD" with me - I don't even know what it is. Should I have requested it?[/quote]
