I am on my 2nd IVF cycle--the first was a bust.
Out of 10 eggs retrieved, all 10 were mature but only 3 fertilized 'normally'.
I am devastated and already thinking that this cycle is a bust too.
Hopefully all 3 will make it to transfer on Wednesday.
Any chance for success with poor fert. rate??? Anyone?

Hi--
5 fertilized originally but 2 of them fertilitzed abnormally meaning 2 sperm entered the egg instead of 1.
The 3 I have left fertilized normally

Wow. I didn't know 2 sperm could enter the same egg. Well to solve that problem you could do IVF with ICIS. That is where they pick out a good sperm and fertilize it, instead of just putting some sperm on it and letting it fertilize. It is a little costly, but they also pick out the best ones, so it increases the fertilization.

Another way to say they fertilized normally is that they formed 2 pronuclei. An egg with 3 procuclei may have had two sperm enter. A 3pn cannot develop.AmandaM wrote:What do you mean by fertilized "normally"
3 out of ten is low. But as they say, it takes only one.
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.
