Hi
My wife has had two IVF cycles. She has PCO but not PCOS (so she has lots of follicles but no insulin resistance).

Cycle 1 ended with 31 collected and only 1 embryo on day 5, then two more on day 6 that were good enough to freeze (A or B grade).

Cycle 2 ended with 23 collected and only 1 embryo on day 5.

has anyone had anything similar with this much of a drop off? has anyone concludes why and whether its due to poor quality/abnormal?

Havent done PGT testing of any of them. We have had 4 miscarriages with them all. Same sex couple using donor, donor has been screened. My wife has had Karyotyping, blood clotting, internal scans, NK, progesterone levels, Thryoid and antibodies all tested.

Thanks
