Embryo transfer

Hi, I'm new on here and this my first time doing IVF.

I went in for egg harvesting yesterday, and they got 5 eggs which have become 4 embryos; is this a good number? Or is it normal to have more?

I'd be really grateful for any info/advice!

Hello dear. That`s a good number. Remember it only takes one to make a bouncing baby. I had 17 eggs and only froze 5. Some people succeed with one embryo. Just relax and look forward to the transfer, fresh or frozen. Wishing all the best xxx
