Hi was just wondering what others percentage of eggs fertilised made it to 5 day blast we have to do PGD testing so we need a few at least i am currently waiting to see how my embies are going we had
8 eggs collected
8 eggs fertilised 100% fertilisation
day 3 report tomorrow and i am panicing
On my first ICSI, 7 follicles were retrieved, 4 fertilised, 1 stopped growing, 1 was a slow-grower and 2 got to morulla stage. None frozen as both were implanted but none took.
On the second ICSI, 11 follicles retrieved, 9 fertilised, 2 implanted on day 3, 1 stopped growing and I think we have 6 snow bubs. I am a bad mother-to-be (hopefully) because I think 6 are on ice but my partner thinks it's only 4
Hi
We got 14 eggs - 7/7 split ICSI and regular
of 7 ICSI, 4 made it to day 3 and were frozen then
of 7 others, 1 didn't fertilise and 3 (50% of those fertilised) made it to blast stage
My FS has told me several times that getting 30% to blast is a result that they are happy with.
On my last two cycles with this FS I have had 100% at day 3 check and then 3/9 and 4/8 at day 5.
FS has also told me that getting to blast is more about sperm quality (up until day 3 it is all about the egg) so if there are issues with DH (like in my case) expect lower results.
Good luck

: removing ticker
30 eggs collected
18 fertilised
15 matured
10 day 3 embryos (Fresh Transfer angel, #1 FET BFN, #2 FET angel, #3 FET BFP who is now 6 weeks old)
5 day 5 blasty's
We still have 3 day 3's and all our blasty's left.
Hi Muppity, I am really interested in what your FS says about up to day 3 it being about egg quality and getting to blast being about sperm quality. My partner has had a reversal a few years ago and was suffering from low volume and motility and morphology problems. I am yet to see a blast. We did a day 5 transfer on the first IVF cycle but only got two morulas. On the second c ycle we did a day 3 transfer, supposedly very good quality - one eight-cell grade 1 (which is `perfect' according to our lab's ratings) and one eight-cell grade 2 (`good' grade). This cycle we're aiming for a day 5 because i really want to see a blastie. We have seen a naturopath over the last three or more months and a recent sperm test came back with great results - improvements on all three markers. Our FS said we could fall naturally with these results, so we're that we get to a blast this time round.
Muppety-It will be interesting so see if we make it to blast as my DH has super sperm in all areas but i still am hesitant about then having enough energy to make it as we are 35 and 37 so not young
Well i got my day 3 report
1)9 cell
2)8 cell
1)7 cell
all grade 1&2
2)5 cell
2)4 cell
not so good
The head scientist said he is happy with anything over 6 cells on day 3 and it is what they want to see and we are at the standard numbers he would expect with 8 eggs so i guess i have to wait and see i am still in a panic we need a couple for pgd testing to get at least one healthy one.
WOW - I can't believe how varied the results are! You are all amazing! I'm on my first round of ICSI now so find all the statistics very interesting...will come back and hopefully post some results in a month
From our fourth stim cycle we got
28 eggs
23 ferterlised
12 day 5/6 blasties
im still waiting for our baby.........so i dont think numbers mean anything and i dont think just cause you get to blastie means anything..........loosing lots of hope with IVF now
on our first cycle:
11 eggs collected
8 fertilised ICSI
5 to day 3
2 made it to blastie
1 fresh transfer, didn't work
1 fet, didn't work
2nd cycle:
12 eggs collected
8 fertilised ICSI and compacting
3 made to the blastie - all rated as super embryos
1 transfer - a little boy due to arrive in 16 days
2 on ice
All ours were blasties. FS said he was very happy with our results and he focusses on quality not quantity of embies.
