Becca5m,
Sorry to hear about your experience. Egg donor cycles are suppose to have great results but I'm wondering whether the donors are actually taking the meds in our case, which may explain these unfortunate results.
Our first cycle cost over $40,000. I'm not sure I can talk my husband into ...

Ghost,
My DH and I went with a top clinic in the US for a donor egg cycle. Our young donor produced 9 eggs that fertilized. But after three days there was one normal embryo and a second that was ok. Everything else had very high fragmentation and after growing the embryos for 5 days the majority ...

Ghost,
Thanks so much for your help.
It's such a confusing process and it's wonderful to have your advice.
My husband and I are still uncertain about what to do with this donor, but your advice is very helpful.

Ghost,
The cases that you had with AFC in the 60s, were they able to achieve live births? I'm worried about egg quality with numbers this high. Thanks.

Ghost, Sorry for the confusion. I'm actually in the process of selecting an egg donor. I just learned today
that the donor we had selected has an antral follicle count of 62. On one side she has 26 and 36 on the other.
We were told last week that her AFC was 30 and today I learned that they gave me ...

Thanks for the answer ghost.
Actually, these numbers are my donor's (I wish they were mine!).
I ask because I'm very worried about hyperstimulation with such a large follicle count, which
would cost a lot of money and time. I asked the nurse and she said that they will use
an antagonist and lupron ...

Ghost,
Does an Antral Follicle Count of 30 decrease the chances of a successful IVF cylce?

Does it increase the chance of hyperstimulation by a lot?
Thanks,

Ghost,
Under what parameters is it best to use IMSI?
My husband has a Morphology Kruger 4; (74% abnormal head and 22% abnormal tails); Volume 6.3; Count 8; Motility 50.
Thanks so much,
Nana

Ghost,

What do you think about the use of IMSI and/or PICSI in cases where the male has low sperm quality and quantity?
Will IMSI increase the success rates of a live birth?
Thanks,
Nana
