Hi Carole, I hope you can answer my question. Obviously I appreciate that all cycles are different, but if I could get my head around statistically what is likely to happen after ER, that will help me to see a way forward.
A bit of background... Our donor is 20 years old. She had 20 follicles a few weeks ago but she had a cyst so we delayed a month. The following month she had 17 follicles. She had a scan yesterday (7 days prior to ER) and she has 10-12 good sized follicles and 2 smaller ones. As we are doing gender selection, I can't help feeling that 10-12 is not enough. I understand that 16 is the cut-off for 'normal', so 10-12 is less than normal. I am considering cancelling.
So this is my question... if we have 10-12 eggs, how many (statistically) would fertilise, then how many would be abnormal? I can do the 50:50 gender calculation myself :-)
Thanks very much indeed!
