From egg collection to blastocyst: what are your stats?

Hi ladies,

As I sit here (impatiently) waiting for the call from my hospital today to tell me how many (if any) of my eggs made it to blastocyst stage, I'm curious to know what your stats were from your IVF rounds:

1. How many eggs were collected?

2. How many fertilised (standard IVF or ICSI)?

3. How many made it to blastocyst?

I had 17 eggs collected last Friday and 15 fertilised via standard IVF. I have no clue what to expect and I'm extremely nervous! Would be good to hear from you ladies.

Have a lovely day xx

1 - 14 eggs

2 - 8 fertilised with ivf

3 - 5 made it to blastocyst

Good luck 🤞 xx

Thanks hun xx

Remember it only takes one to make a baby, and people have success with day 3 transfers as well as blastocysts. I've seen people write that their poorest embryo was also their successful one. So try not to worry too much 😘

I had 14 eggs, 13 mature, 7 fertilised with icsi, 2 weren't good enough overnight, which left me with 5. I was worried that wasn't a lot and they wouldn't make it to day 5. But all 5 made it. 1 put back in, 4 in the freezer and I'm just over 11 weeks pregnant. Good luck hun xx

Hi Renee - I was told by drs not to expect much, maybe 1 or 2 eggs if I was lucky due to my medical condition. However my results were:-

1- 13 eggs collected (all mature)

2 - 13 fertilised with ivf

3 - 13 made it to 5 day blastocysts

Just got my bfp last week from 2 frozen embryo transfers.

Be positive. It only takes the one. Good luck xx

Thank you! xx

[PearlyDuck in reply to cryst4l]

Cryst4l those are some amazing numbers!!! Almost no one has 100% fertilisation and also 100% making it to blastocyst. Congratulations! Wonderful news you’re pregnant. Do you mind me asking how old you are?

[cryst4l in reply to PearlyDuck]

Aw thanks Pearlyduck. I was told the same thing by my fertility dr. I was so shocked too. I have severe endo stage 4 too so it was a shock to us all to get the results we did. Dr had to double check that my notes didnt get mixed up lol. I am now 38 but was 37 when I had my egg collection. Still got 11 blasts in the freezer.🤗 miracles do happen to anyone. Xx

[Niki_B]

Mine was horrible i was devastated! I wish you better luck xx

15 eggs

11 fertilized ICSI

I think 3 made it to blastocyst but only 1 was good for transfer none to freeze - BFN 😢

[Hidden in reply to Niki_B]

Sorry to hear you were disappointed Hoping it all works out better for you on your next round xx

[Hidden]

I didn't have a great result

9 eggs

8 fertilised

2 blastocysts!

They said they were good quality but we were upset at this result.

1 fresh transfer and 1 in the freezer

Xxx

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Sorry to hear you were upset At least the two you got were top quality which is more important than quantity xx

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Yes well we had to just deal with it.

We were on very low dose meds so I think was why....

Congrats on your result that sounds good!

Xxx

[megad26]

11 eggs

7 fertilised with ivf

4 made it to blastocyst

Good luck 🍀 xxx

[Hidden in reply to megad26]

Thanks hun xx

[Hidden]

13 eggs collected

9 fertilised; 4 with ICSI, 5 with IVF

7 actually made it to blastocyst but only 3 were good enough to use so I had 1 transferred and 2 frozen

11 weeks pregnant from the 1 transferred 😁

Good luck for the call xx

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Congratulations! Great news xx

[destiny121]

Mine was 19 eggs, 13 fertilised... 5 made to blastocyst.... one transferred and 4 im freezer... about to so frozen cycle xx

[Hidden in reply to destiny121]

Thanks hun, good luck on the FET, I'll probably be doing it around the same time as you! xx

[lucylob]

I had ICSI - only two eggs collected but both fertilised and made it to day 5 blastocysts. Remember It only takes one - I have everything crossed for you x🤞

[Hidden in reply to lucylob]

Thank you hun xx

[Hidden]

Thanks ladies for your replies, really interesting stats there. I just got the call back from the hospital - 7 made it to blastocyst and will be frozen! I'm doing a freeze-all cycle xx

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

That's brilliant- well done. Good luck for your FET xx

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Thank you! xx

[Ash2016]

My results have been hideous.

First cycle:

6 eggs / 2 fertilised with IVF / both transferred Day 3

Second cycle:

8 eggs/ four mature / 3 fertilised with ICSI / none made it to transfer

Good luck for your cycle x

[Hidden]

1 - 19 eggs

2 - 12 fertilised

3 - 7 blastocysts

I had a fresh cycle in March which ended in a chemical pregnancy and just gearing up for our first fet in august xx

[HPLondon]

19 eggs (16 mature)

11 fertilised

3 day 5 blastocysts in freezer (“top quality”)

Felt a bit gutted that we didn’t end up with more after such good number to start off with, but fingers crossed one will be our baby.

[NB610]

12 eggs retrieved

11 mature

7 fertilised with icsi

6 made it to day 5

1 transferred 5 frozen, sadly BFN 1st

FET on 24th may resulting in BFP.

Wishing you lots of luck 😘 Xx

[Rachwithers]

10 eggs

4 fertilised (ivf)

All 4 made it to blastocyst

1 transfered, 3 Frosties

Currently 6w2d with our first fresh transfer xx

[Lynnr54]

11 mature eggs, 9 fertilised, 7 made it to day 3 and 4 to blastocyst (1 of which was a day 6). 1 fresh transferred and 3 frozen. I’ve now used all the blastos too so I’ll finish the journey:

Fresh transfer - BFP (my little boy is now 2)

FET 1 - chemical pregnancy (BFP 9dp5dt, BFN 11dp5dt)

FET 2 - BFN

FET 3 (day 6 embie) - BFP (I hope - currently 5+4 and waiting for viability scan)

Good luck with the rest of your cycle!
