Number of rounds/cycles

When people talk about how many rounds they’ve had does that mean how many egg collections or how many transfers?

Ive had 2 transfers from the same collection, does that mean I’ve had 1 round or 2 rounds?

TIA 😊

I’ve always seen a ‘round’ as an egg collection and all the subsequent transfers from that one egg collection… but others may see it as different I guess x

A retrieval is classed as one round, however many transfers you have, IF you're talking about nhs treatment

Our treatment centre refer to collections as rounds (based on their three-round discount offer, which is actually three collections and one transfer). I guess because it’s the collection part that requires the most procedures and meds?
