Hi everyone! For those that feel comfortable, would love to see the breakdown AFC > eggs retrieved > fertilized > embryo > genetically normal (please feel free to include other steps, add in more numbers/details). I've read the averages of how it gets narrowed down, but always prefer hearing real breakdowns. I'm in the process of my first egg retrieval and trying to stay realistic. Really appreciate it!

We just got back from selecting to transfer the 4AA in 4 weeks! If it's also helpful, the retrieval was Sept 23, so with doing an FET it'll be 7 weeks from retrieval to transfer day. (I was curious on this).

My issue was pcos with probable male factor.

The egg retrieval process was smooth. I’m taking a vacation before my Fet so will transfer in Dec. also planning on doing the modified natural protocol for the transfer if possible so as to avoid the PIO shots. But timing will probably be a concern.

like

Yeah! That’s such a big factor. Although my doc is only planning to do the progesterone pills. But the pills do cause me 1 hour of dizziness (I’ve taken them for an iui before) — but as long as it avoids those painful shots I’m all in.

i can add in mine now! really appreciate everyone sharing.
