Frozeen eggs at 38 years old

[colacola]

I am 38 years old, I just went through an IVF circle. I was able to produce 25 eggs. Unfortunately my husband was soo stressed he could not produce sperm on the day of the retreival and we had no choice but to freeze the eggs. My question is, what are the chances of the eggs surviving freezing and thawing before the insermination. Also the clinic has adviced me that they usually don't freeze eggs and that I may have to have a frozeen transfer done, which I don't really want to. This may meen having to wait for another month before transfer. I thought if my husband produces sperm the next day day can thaw the eggs and start the fertilization, I was told this will not happen. The last embyo I had in storage did not survive thawing after 4 years. I have a daughter she was from frozeen embryo not frozeen eggs. Also in case we come across this "no sperm" situation, is there anythign that can stimulate ejaculation for men. thanks.

did they do a slow freeze or quick freeze?

I'm really sorry for what happened.
It is more commong than you think.
My RE make DH produce a back up sample as soon as we start the meds so if the "big day" because of stress something happens they can still work on something.
I'm not an expert of egg freezing but I know that is something clinics do more and more.
I think that with 25 eggs you chance are pretty high that some will survive thaw.
Good luck and keep us posted.
