Best wishes for you.
Did you do PGS? These are terrific results.
No PGS. This was 2011 and 2013 and cost for PGS was still prohibitive although it was available. We transferred two embryos each time because RE said odds of twins would be very low at my age. RE had told me he thought I would have a 35% chance of pregnancy with each transfer based on my response. The SART results I believe are 16% for a live birth per transfer at age 40-42.

That’s a lot of eggs retrieved for over 40. Did you have a PCOS diagnosis?
No PCOS, just advanced maternal age. I was thankfully a good responder. I had gotten pregnant two times in the 8 months before going to IVF but had early miscarriages both times.
