Thanks Marie - I love the statistics! I was figuring a ~12-15% chance of success (each attempt) with Clomid and 2 eggs - I think the higher rate of success is with injectables because they produce better quality eggs, and more of them. I wonder if the 20% is a general number he quoted, or specific to RMA. Did you do IUI with clomid or injectables?
I was on clomid for the IUIs & i got 3,5,5 mature eggs in each cycle but i guess it wasn't enough Now that i did injectibles with the ivf, the side effects are actually not as bad as the clomid. I had horrible mood swings & was so emotional on the clomid. Now, only a small fraction of that. With this cycle, i had 30 folllies growing but the dr thought that was too many & so cut down my meds & i ended up with 13 eggs. They don't want to put u at risk for ohss but i really wanted more...still waiting to see if i will have any frosties from the remaining 3 embies but doubtful.
The timing of the iui was stressful but my dr assured me u have a 48 hour window & it doesn't matter if the sperm are waiting for the egg or they have to chase it. I always ov after my iui but usually sometime that day. I try to believe in my dr but it is in my nature to question everything!
