For successful cycles -
#1 - 38 years old, 8 retrieved, 5 made it to Day 3, transferred all 5 - pregnant with singleton.
#2 - 40 years old, 10 retrieved, 2 made it to Day 3, transferred 2, - pregnant with singleton.
Total of 6 cycles and honestly don't remember the egg numbers on the negative cycles.
GOOD LUCK!!

I just completed my 3rd IVF cycle with CCRM with Dr Schoolcraft,
we did the family planning option which involves doing 3 cycles and then ccs at the end of the 3rd cycle.
I was 41+6 months when I started the first cycle and completed the 3rd cycle in March.
We got pretty decent amount of eggs in each cycle, 29 matured , 17 reached day5 and went for CCS.
But only 6 came back as normal (grade day 5 4AA, day 5 4AB, day 5 5BA, day 5 4BA, day 5 4 BA, and day 6 4AA).
now trying to save money for surrogate .
May I ask what were the grades of your normal embryos that led to BFP with your own egg?
what do you think are my chances?
You have a lot of good quality embryos. However, some people experience implantation issues due to problems unrelated to embryo quality, or, sadly, repeated miscarriages. So it's entirely impossible to predict true chances. Based on embryos only - it's a very good chance, if you assume everything else is perfect. Your RE should be able to give you a better guesstimate though.

Thank you for sharing this info. Again, congrats!!

no, i have textbook 28 day cycles and and am healthy/fit. All testing has been normal on both sides.
We just can't seem to get pregnant.
Unexplained diagnosis.
I believe my case is a result of mild pcos and a husband who rarely puts out. He's a once a week type of guy. Given I'm probably not ovulating regularly there isn't a good chance I will ever get pregnant naturally if he will only do it once a week.
