What's more important: quality or quantity?

Age, pretesting, clinic. Those 3 factors determine success.

The more you have working against you, the more difficult it can be.

Quality is most important. Nobody ends up with 10 healthy embryos on day 5. Most get 1 maybe 2. You really do just need one good one BUT numbers help because you lose half to gender.

NBP is right. I had a lot of eggs collected, and 8 to biopsy, and only 2 healthy, 1 xx and 1 xy. Although I've seen people here who got many xx or xy (maybe more than 5) in a cycle, is not the norm. I would aim to quality always.

I would definitely go to the US.
I'm not saying that Cyprus is bad, but for reading the cycle diaries, I would think you have better chances there

SoFullOfHope - I am stuck in exactly the same place as you. Do I go to the US once or twice to cyprus... so hard.
I haven't had ivf before and it worry me that I have no idea how many body will react to the meds. I could spend me first cycle in the US just seeing how my body reacts and get nothing from it other than some history and the end up in Cyprus anyway due to money OR do I try Cyprus as my test and then go to the US if needed. It's so so difficult.... I totally empathise

I'm also worried about the process in Cyprus as it isn't regulated. Eg do they really distroy any healthy unwanted genders etc. It would eat me up I think
