For those of you that went through IVF - how many cycles did you go through? Did it result in a successful live birth?

3 IVF cycles and currently cuddling my first 5 day embryo right now - she celebrated her 1 yr birthday recently ❤️ first successful embryo that made it to blast day 5 and first frozen embryo transfer ❤️❤️❤️ we did 3 retrieval’s because dr recommended banking at least 5 embryos that tested PGS normal. After 3 cycles, i only got 3 PGS normal embryos out of 15 eggs retrieved. I have DOR tho so i wasn’t one of those women that were getting 20 eggs from each retrieval. I got 5 eggs each cycle and out of those successfully fertilized, 10/15 made it blast day 5 and 3 tested genetically normal out of 10. Its tough to see the numbers but if it helps you skip the miscarriage part and try to start with a healthy embryo you got the best shot. Infertility sucks. And it’s freaking expensive.

Diminished ovarian reserve. It’s when your ovaries have less eggs than the average or typical woman would at any given age in their reproductive years. All the dr can do is test quantity of follicles or potential follicles that can produce eggs in your ovaries. It won’t tell the quality of the potential egg. However, it’s a common thought if you have average or higher than average than you’re more likely to have more quality eggs at the end of the day. Always exceptions but this is how it was explained. Women with DOR typically have more miscarriages and it’s harder to get pregnant as we have less follicles that can grow each cycle to compete to release the dominant(s) eggs.

My husband and I did one egg retrieval, 8 eggs, 6 fertilized, two made it to day 5 blasts, one fresh transfer in August (we froze the second embryo). It took and we are expecting our first baby in May.

I did 14 ICSI cycles with an average of 10 eggs per cycle. I had 2 misscariages in cycle 1 and 4. I had a life birth as a result of cycle 7. After cycle 14 I gave up and now waiting for donor eggs. I did this all on my own as single mother by choice.

Did 2 retrievals back to back last year just before turning 39. Four embryos tested normal. First two transfers didn’t work (negative tests) but third one did. Due late Feb.

2 retrievals. First yielded 3 genetically normal embryos that resulted in a miscarriage, a chemical pregnancy and a failed implantation. Second round yielded 3 also, first one was another miscarriage. Considering surrogacy if the second doesn’t work, no one knows what’s wrong with me.

I went through two unsuccessful ivf cycles, and got pregnant on my third try. Lots of luck involved, your age and health of your eggs matter, but for me, estimated chance of pregnancy for each cycle was around 40% so getting lucky on my third try seems like it was on target

I have had one egg retrieval cycle which resulted in 6 pgs normal embryos. FET 2 was successful but I lost my son at 6 months due to a clotting disorder we hadn’t discovered before. FET 3 failed and now I’m gearing up for FET 4.

On mentioning having some personal commitments on weekends, it was said to keep personal and professional life separate and that's how corporate works.
Has anyone faced this. How do you go about it.
