How many eggs, how many blasts?

Day one of ICSI and I’m on pins waiting for an update! My clinic only offers day 1 and day 5 updates, so patiently waiting to hear how many fertilised! Started with 10 eggs! Anyone else in the same stage currently, or those who have done this previously
how many eggs did you start with?
how many fertilised?
then how many made to day 3/5 or whatever updates you had?
trying hard to remain positive but also aware that it’s common to end with nothing, so trying to be realistic also!

Sorry!! 4 day 4, 4 Day 5 * 8 blasts! Really pleased with those numbers though, couldn’t believe they all made it! We initially were told 6 but had another call!l this pm!

That’s fabulous news! Best of luck.

Cycle 1 - 4 mature eggs, 0 fertilised
Cycle 2 - 3 mature, 0 fertilised.

Moved clinic
Cycle 3 - 7 mature, 4 fertilised. One Day 5 AB put back in, first ever BFP but sadly MMC at 10 weeks (baby died at 7) Currently going through a medicated miscarriage.

Hoping and praying for my remaining frozen BB and AC ❤️❤️

Adding this on for future people to review:

8 donor eggs
6 fertilised
4 blasts- 3 day 5, 1 day 6

22 eggs, 6 x day 6 blastocysts, first cycle worked = DD.

DN only had 2 eggs, 1 day 5 blastocyst and now has a wonderful DD.

So sometimes just one is enough and ten is brilliant. Wishing you lots of luck 🤞🏻try to stay positive, it definitely helps.
