I have not done it, but the dropoff from number of eggs retrieved to number of viable embryos is typically so steep, and before you do IVF you can’t know what your individual dropoff rate would be, I would think that in the long run most people would need to do multiple rounds of a less stimulated egg retrieval cycle, which seems like it would outweigh many, if not all, of the benefits.

Finally got two PGT normal embryos from my third ER. My lining got to 10 during all of the retrievals and I have regular periods, and I’m doing IVF for genetic issues not fibroid/polyp or hormonal issues. How likely am I to end up with a live birth? Will the Dr level set with me or will they never do that to control expectations?
