42. 6 retrieved. All 6 fertilized and made it to day 5 looking perfect. PGD showed that all of them had multiple trisomies. All incompatible with life.

age 42. 11 eggs retrieved over 5 cycles, none of the mature one made it to Day 5/6 quality my RE would do anything with and therefore we never got to do PGD. now doing frozen DE cycle.

I'm pp. According to my report, I see that MI stage eggs matured after retrieval in the petri dish, and fertilized. But did not survive to Day5.

Age 40.
9 eggs retrieved, 8 viable for ICSI, 6 fertilized, 3 made to Day5, 1 normal: 1 inconclusive: 1 abnormal (monosomy 13).
This is from my October 2014 cycle.
Out of 9, only 4 were at MII stage and surviving Day5 blastocyst all came from the MII eggs.

Apologies if you find this uninspiring: retrieved 10, 9 fertilized, 4 blastocysts, only 1 was normal and it didn't take. :/ Hope you have better luck.

At 38, I had 6 eggs retreived. 3 made it to 5 day blasts. 2 of 3 tested normal. Transferred one. She is asleep upstairs.

Good luck.

Frankly, IMO 3-5 eggs is great. My RE would have been thrilled if I had that many.

I had exactly none. One semiformed follicle and that was it. We moved quickly to donor egg and had fast, comparatively easy, success that way.

Good luck to you.

I'm 40, and doing my first IVF cycle. I've had several miscarriages which we believe is due to egg quality, so we're doing IVF/PGD.

It's looking like I'm going to get 3-5 eggs this cycle, so the numbers aren't really on my side, considering some might not be mature, or fertilize, or develop to a 5 day embryo, and especially when you consider that only 1 in 7 eggs is supposed to be chromosomally normal at my age.

So AMA IVF/PGDers, if you don't mind sharing, how many eggs did you get in a cycle, and of those how many embryos made to be tested and how many were normal?

Thanks!!
