How many embryos made it to transfer?

[peppypeep]

For those of you who have done IVF at least once, how many of your eggs made it to transfer?
I would also like to know, if you are over 40, how many follicles you had?
Just curious. Last month on my natural cycle they saw 7 follicles brewing (4 on R, 3 on L).  I just turned 40 three weeks ago.  Would love to hear from you!

Ok so I had my u/s today and I have 5 follies, here is how they stack up so far:
2 - 12mm
1 - 11mm
1 - 8 mm
1 - "small one"

I may have to take ganirelix tonight. I will have my next u/s on Friday.  Wish me luck and *****baby dust to all********

Hi I went through invetro at 32 I had 32 eggs transfered and 25 follicles they all made it to frozen we wanted 4 transfered but dr said two well it ended up in m/c. I didnt want to try again so we went through tubal reversal and I am 41 now ttc.

I am 34 (a little younger then what you were looking for) We did a cycle of IVF in july I had 24 follicles, 23 eggs retrieved, all fertilized but only 17 made to be frozen (minus 2 transfered, so i froze 15). That cycle failed but we went back in november for an FET. At first they thawed 2 day one zygotes to try to achieve a 3 day embryo but only one lived so on transfer day they defrosted 2 more day 3 and only one of those lived so they transeferd that one and the other one from 2 days before. I am now 10.5 weeks pregnant. I live in Canada and my RE says they have a moral obligation to NOT create multiples so they will only ever transfer 2-3 depending on your age when the eggs were fertilized and quality of embryos.
