Egg freezing question

Hi,

I am a 38 year old woman, and trying to freeze my eggs without fertilizing them first. I have gone through 5 days of hormones and produced 5 follicles. I am debating if to stop to process and start it again in my next cycle to try to produce more follicles, and the  try to freeze. Also, I am debating if to freeze fertilized eggs with a sperm donor.

Why don't you ask what your antral follicile count is?
They (dr's) kinda count your follicles before you start....if you only had 5-6 prior to starting the meds, doing another cycle would not help much.

I am 38 & never had eggs (embryos) to freeze yet after my IVF...if you are trying to preserve your fertility I would say use donor sperm & go for having a child.

Best Wishes to you.

embryos freeze better than eggs, so you're chances are better if you use a sperm donor and freeze the resulting embryos. Good luck
