@davies.fertility: Let’s ask the embryologist: “Why didn’t ALL of my eggs fertilize?” 🥚🧬✨ Because there’s so much more to the fertilization process than just having mature eggs. 🤍 #Embryology #IVFJourney #FertilityEducation #IVFCommunity#
I was 38, had 3 eggs retrieved but only 1 fertilised which resulted in my little boy x

At 35 I had 7 retrieved and all 7 made it to day 5. PGT tested them and only two were genetically unreliable and had a 100% miscarriage rate.

I had 24 mature, 20 fertilize but only 6 day 5 blasts and 1 day 6 blast. What could’ve contributed to the lower blast rate?

Can you explain what happens between fertilization and blast? What happens there that only 30-50% make it to Day 5?

Q : if you using sperm donor, what happened to the rest of it? Do you saved it for future use or disregard them? One vial is expensive.

Sometimes I wonder because my insurance is really good. And they’re letting me have multiple cycles sometimes I wonder I know this is far reach but if the fertility office knows and they would just want to make money and keep milking my insurance and then they’ll let me get pregnant.

how often do you accidentally pop the eggs when grabbing them and stabbing them with the thing

I’m 25 - retrieved 25 eggs, 15 matured, 13 fertilized and only got 3 day 5 blastocysts (embryos). What can be a cause to not make many embryos for my age?
