How long did IVF take you? (If it worked in the end).

[Lelophants]

We did IVF for secondary infertility (unexplained but years of nothing). We were very lucky and it all worked first time with a fresh cycle! I was 34.

We have a few embryos left and we always wonder about if and when to use them. What’s the likelihood of it happening first fine again especially as I would be late thirties? Would I get through all 4?just looking for experiences and what is likely.

Hi OP, my experience: MFI due to low morphology but used ICSI to overcome this. Age 33-34 it’s taken 3 FETs and I’m now 25 weeks pregnant, 1st worked the MMC at 9 weeks (they think due to embryo abnormality), second was BFN.

I spent from age 31-33 banking embryos due to low AMH - ended up with 7 (untested) from 5 rounds so we have 4 left. We’re hoping to get a second DC from those but we recognise this may not happen for us.

good luck!

@Lelophants what matters is age at embryo creation, not age at transfer. You could use these mid 40s even. So with 4 embryos from a 34 year old you have an excellent chance of bringing home another baby. Whether the first transfer works will be down to luck. So good luck!
