Fert Report

Well, just got my fert report... out of 14, 13 were mature and only 7 fertilizied.  The nurse didn't seem concerned but of course I am.  Is this a bad thing?  I'm starting to think we have some sort of an embryo/egg issue.  I have no idea what can even be done for that.  They are calling me Friday morning to tell me if it's a 3 or 5 day transfer.....

TTC since 3/2009
DH: Normal
Me: High prolactin/mild PCOS/irregular cycles
Dec 2012: IVF- Antagonist/Ganirelix protocol due to OHSS risk
ER: 12/4- 14 R, 13 M, 7 F
ET: 12/9- 2 blasts transferred, 2 frozen
BETA: BFP! 12/18-Beta #1-290, 12/21-Beta #2-over 1100 Beta#3 >10,000

That's more than half and in my eyes that is great. If it makes you feel any better I had 27 retrieved, 23 were mature and only 1 fertilized. Just let your 7 do their growing and try not to worry. FX!!!

Married and TTC since November 2010 SA Normal, HSG Normal, B/W Normal = Unexplained IF
5 Failed IUI's Moving onto IVF, Stims Start 10/27, ER 11/5=27 eggs!, 23 mature, 1 Fertilized WTF?? Rescue ICSI on 12 and we had 3 more fertilize. Transfered 2 on 11/9. Beta on 11/23.
Everyone Welcome!

Its hard to say until you find out how they're growing. It could be , but maybe not! This is your first IVF too right? Sometimes it could just be not quite the right protocol as well. FX for great growth on your 7 little embies!!!

I agree with the PP, it's too early to be worried about egg or embryo issues, especially if this is your first IVF cycle. It could be the protocol, as someone already said, or it could be just a normal outcome. Lots of women would be thrilled with 7 embryos. Though it's easier said than done, try not to worry too much right now. You're not through your cycle yet. No need to diagnose it. Good luck!

TTC #1 for about 3.5 years
ME: 37, PCO, immune issues?, teflon uterus (my added diagnosis)
HIM: 38, Perfect. (Showoff.)
Month before starting Clomid, spontaneous pregnancy. m/c at 7 weeks and D&C.
Four months of Clomid, one IUI, with Intralipid each cycle: BFNs all
IVF 1.0 July 2012 -- Lupron, bravelle, menopur, estrogen, progesterone supps, intralipid. 14 ER, 14 fertilized, 1 blast transferred, 2 on ice. BFN
FET 1.1 -- 10/2, transferred our 2 blasts. Lupron, PIO, estrogen, baby aspirin, prednisone. BFN.
IVF 2.0 December 2012 -- Bravelle, Menopur, Ganirelix, Prednisone, Metformin, estrogen, progesterone supps. 22 eggs retrieved on 12/14, 17 mature, 15 fertilized. OHSS anticipated so ET cancelled. 3 embryos frozen.
Broke up with old RE. Moving on to new dude. Maybe the change of scenery will be just the trick for our frosties. On BCPs for possible April FET.

Thank you all.  I know 7 is a good number it is just disappointing that more didn't fertilize.  I just spoke with the nurse and she said to not read anything into and that things are still looking good.  Thanks again!

Me: High prolactin/mild PCOS/irregular cycles
Dec 2012: IVF- Antagonist/Ganirelix protocol due to OHSS risk

I understand how you feel.  I had 14 retrieved also, 10 were mature and 7 fertilized, not what I hoped either.  I will tell you that I got the call today that 3 were frozen (1 an expanded blastocyst and 2 regular blastocysts, all grade A's or B's).  They are watching the other 4 and will call tomorrow but they don't expect them to make the cut.  I had to freeze them due to risk of OHSS (sounds like I should have been on a protocol like yours).   You could get some stellar embryos out of those 7!!  Good luck! 

Married June 2011
Dx: anovulatory due to prolactinoma (1.5cmx 1.5cm in 2006)
April 2012: MRI- questionable cyst 8mg by 12mm in pituitary
referred to RE by Ob-gyn after amenorrhea x 4+ months, provera ineffective, low estrogen level
cycle 1: May 2012, clomid 50mg; cycle cancelled, thin lining, no response
cycle 2: June 2012, femara 5mg; cycle cancelled, no response
cycle 3: July 2012, femara 7.5mg; cycle cancelled (largest folli on Cd12 & cd 16: 11, lining 4)

Aug. 8: met with RE, move to injectables if HSG and SA normal
Aug. 23: HSG all clear; DH- perfect
Switched to a new RE in early Sept. IVF here we come
Genetic testing reveals: Fragile X- Intermediate risk/grey zone.
IVF#1: ER 11/30: 14 retrieved, 10 mature, 7 fertilized. E2 prior to trigger 5200. Decision made to freeze 6 embryos and transfer later due to OHSS.
IVF#1.2/FET #1: estrogen injects start 1/18, FET delayed to try to thicken lining. lining 5.4mm. FET- 2/18- transferred one 3AA expanded blast. BFP 5dp5dt. Beta #1- 2/27 9dp5dt- 102.27 beta #2 3/1: 147 :(, beta #3 3/4: 268 stop meds. #4: 269, #5 133, #6 72, still in beta hell. Beta 7 (3/25) 29. beta 8 15.7 beta 9 8 beta 10 4.6- finally a negative
FET#2: scheduled for June 10th. delestrogen injects + estrace vaginally, ASA and endometrial scratch 5/6.
