I am 39 years old and my FHS level is normal at 4.7. My first IVF was the long lupron protocol. They ...

Slow Developing Embryos?

Hello All,

I had my egg transfer today! This is my first cycle, and I must say what an emotional roller coaster ride it has been.

We transferred (2) 4 cell, grades 1 & 2 and (1) 2 cell grade 1 embryos. (Grading is 1-5, with 1 being the best).

I am 39 with no known fertility issues other than age ...
