From egg collection to blastocyst: what are your stats?

30 Replies

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

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

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?

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

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 😢

in reply toNiki_B

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

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

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

in reply to

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!

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

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

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.

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!
