Number of eggs after egg retrieval
Just wondering if anyone knows what the average number of eggs are after egg retreival? I am 33yrs old and had egg retrieval today. this is my 3rd cycle, pos. preg.1st cycle, have a little girl. 2nd cycle in the spring resulted in blighted ovum. My 1st cycle they got 12 eggs total, 9 mature. 2nd cycle they got 15 eggs, 8 mature, this time they got 8 total eggs. I won't know until tomorrow how many are mature. They said 8 is a good number because the average number is between 2-4. And that all could be mature. I thought that sounded a little low esp. since I produced so many in the past. My hubby and I have male factor infertility. I am not totally upset but a little bummed I did not produce more eggs. They will perform ICSI and some do not always survive for fertilization. So I am nervous that I won't have any to transfer.
Can i ask why you had to do so many retrivals? Well i have only done the ivf cycle once and am waiting to do another!
They retrived 21 with me, 19 matured, then it went to 14 the finally we ended up with 9 embies, we have 7 left and are hoping the next tranfer works. Good luck to you and me!:)
