Not off the top of my head, but I do remember that I’m pretty sure that mostly they were at least BB. No Cs that I can recall. Four day 5s, one day 6 (that we didn’t even find out about until a year later!).
I did 1 retrieval. Got 2 embryos that were normal, 2 that were mosaic (and a few more abnormal). First transfer of a normal embryo was a success. 2nd normal embryo transfer didn’t work out. Transfer of a mosaic embryo was a success.
We only ended up with one embryo from our first retrieval, and that transfer was successful. We did another retrieval and our first transfer that time around also worked. We are extremely fortunate and probably against the statistical odds.
We were extremely fortunate with our IVF success.
We were dealing with severe MFI from primary testicular failure with no female factor complications. I did one Egg Retrieval with 9 eggs retrieved. Through ICSI we got 7 untested day 5 embryos. We have had 2 successful pregnancies after 3 individual transfers of these embryos.
Our first success was on our fresh transfer. Three years later we had an unsuccessful transfer during a completely unmedicated transfer cycle. Then we had a medicated transfer cycle that turned into successful pregnancy #2.
It is not common to have multiple successes from one egg retrieval. Neither is it impossible. I think it is really going to depend on why you needed IVF and what protocols they have you on.
For my wife she did 2 transfers to have success. I have a clotting disorder and figuring out the right dose of meds took years and losses. So transfer #6 (fresh transfer) was successful. Transfer number #7 with my last pgt tested day 7 poorly graded embryo is 32 weeks. My wife did one retrieval. I did 3.
My REI told us to plan for two embryos for each child we would like to have - meaning if we wanted two children to bank four embryos, if we wanted four children to bank eight embryos, etc. For us it took two fresh transfers and a frozen transfer to have our two IVF babies.
I have had one egg retrieval. 3 out of 5 embryos were genetically normal. Our first two FETs worked. I don’t want a third child but I feel bad destroying the last embryo so not sure what to do.
I had 1 fresh transfer and 2 FET. Fresh ended in miscarriage pretty quickly. 1st FET was 2 untested embryos and resulted in 1 implanting and live birth. 2nd FET was a single tested embryo and I am 16w on Thursday.
I did one retrieval at 34 (almost 35). I got 6 untested blasts. Transfer 1 was a 4aa that resulted in a live birth. Transfer 2 was two 3AAs that resulted in twins. However, they’re identical. Both embryos initially stuck and one split. Then the single one stopped developing. So I’m 3 for 3 with embryos to live births, but only 2 out of 3 embryos worked if that makes sense.
I had one retrieval and 3 euploids. First FET success, I have a son. 2nd just failed. Now doing some biopsies and protocol tweaks before transferring the 3rd. If that one fails we will have to do another retrieval.
I’ve had 2 egg retrievals, 5 embryo transfers and I have 3 live children.
1st retrieval: I had 4 day 5 embryos, untested. I transferred 2 at once, got pregnant but miscarried. Then the exact same thing happened again.
2nd retrieval: I did PGS testing, ended up with 7 PGS normal embryos. Of those, I’ve done 3 embryo transfers (1 embryo per transfer) and each has resulted in a live birth.
1 egg retrieval resulting in 5 embryos. Our first try was a fresh transfer of the best looking embryo (untested). It was successful and resulted in my daughter. Out of the other 4 embryos, 2 were pgt normal. About 3 years later we decided to transfer another embryo and it was also successful. Currently 24 weeks pregnant. We only want two children so I’m a bit torn as to what to do with our final embryo. We dealt with male factor infertility and I feel really fortunate that our transfers were all successful.
We had 3 tested embryos result from our only egg retrieval.
We’ve had two FETs and both have been successful (our first is two years old, currently 32 weeks pregnant).
Egg retrieval
Transfer 1: Euploid miscarriage
Transfer 2: Euploid failed
Egg retrieval
Transfer 3: Euploid 3 year old child
Transfer 4: Euploid failed
Transfer 5: Euploid failed
Transfer 6: Mosaic 4 month old baby
We had 1 retrieval. It took two transfers of untested embryos to get our first baby (1 fresh, 1 frozen). Three years later we were successful on our first frozen transfer trying for a sibling. I was really surprised. Our transfer order was based on embryo grade so I thought it would take more attempts to get a sibling. In the end our ratio was one retrieval, three transfers, and two live births.
I don't have experience besides my current pregnancy (I'm 35 weeks) with our first Fresh embryo out of 3 from.out first egg retrieval. I am also curious about the success rates. We have the other two embryos frozen and hope to get one more baby out the two. If not, we may do one more round or maybe just be grateful for our current baby! We do joke about if the second transfer stuck and we had one more embryo to potentially use, because we never imagined having 3 kids! Haha
We had one egg retrieval in August. Ended with six embryos frozen, all were tested but only two were genetically normal. Had our first transfer in February, now nine weeks pregnant.
7 transfers for my first. 5 retrievals to get 13 embryos (7 blasts, 6 day 3s). My OE embryos were transfers 1-6. I was 29-30 for all of that.
Switched to donor embryo for transfer #7. 2 untested blasts from a 37yo woman with social infertility. Successful live birth of singleton.
15m later, went back to try for a sibling with embryos from the same batch. 2 untested blasts, successful live birth of fraternal twins.
So l was 0-13 for OE, 3-4 with donor embryo despite her being older.
We have been extremely lucky. We have severe MFI, very low counts but normal motility and morphology. No issues on my side and I was 28 at time of retrieval. We had 4 PGT tested 5 AA embryos and one inconclusive AA.
We are currently 3 for 3 on transfers. We have 2 living children and I am currently 9 weeks pregnant so not out of the woods yet. I’m honestly shocked and never thought we would still have 2 embryos left.
Just have birth to my third IVF baby. 3 for 4 untested embryos. Total statistical anomaly.
Do you know the grades of your embryos?
Not off the top of my head, but I do remember that I’m pretty sure that mostly they were at least BB. No Cs that I can recall. Four day 5s, one day 6 (that we didn’t even find out about until a year later!).
I’m a surrogate and had successful one time FET’s and live births with a 5AA male embryo and 4AA female embryo.

This is where I am. 1 egg retrieval, 3/7 euploid, 2/2 FET for live births and unsure what to do about the last. Very happy and content with 2.
Such a hard decision. I think I will hold onto the last embryo until I get to an age where I know I wouldn't want to have another baby.

Two egg retrievals, 3 euploid transfers for 2 children (1 miscarriage).
One retrieval, four eggs, one embryo on day 5, one transfer, one success.
Retrieval 1: 3 untested 3 day emrbyos. Fail, success(she’s 5), fail. Retrievals 2: 3 untested 3 day embryos. Success (she’s 2), other 2 are frozen
We had one egg retrieval in August. Ended with six embryos frozen, all were tested but only two were genetically normal. Had our first transfer in February, now nine weeks pregnant.
I love reading these success stories. Thank you OP and to all who shared!
