Quick IVF question

[MomaJoni]

Hi all, I am due to start IVF on the NHS in May and I just had a late night question spring into my mind.

So if we reach the point of egg retrieval and they do not manage to retrieve any healthy eggs to use, is that my 1 free try over? Or does an IVF attempt considered when. Makes it to egg transfer?

Thank you for any answers and sorry if this is a silly question xx

I think it might vary by clinic but at my clinic if you get to egg retrieval That is a round and so considered an ‘attempt’. Good luck! x

We did have any eggs fertilize one the first round nhs, so they gave us a second round nhs because of this. We are in south yorkshire x

We had none good enough to transfer no more freebies I’m very surprised to hear others have had otherwise

I was told at mine in East Yorkshire that my free go was if we got an egg fertilised. So if we never got to fertilisation this try we would have another go free. But I may have been considered an exception due to cancer treatment.

I've just been through IVF in the last month. In our area we were awarded 4 transfers with our funding. But we were told once the eggs were removed even if they couldn't put the embryo back in within the 5 days that would class as one transfer. I think it varies clinic to clinc xx
