Egg retrieval at 42
Has anyone done an egg retrieval for egg freezing at age 42? I’m doing it tomorrow morning and I’m nervous. I know the odds are not in my favor. I have 3 frozen embryos from 3 years ago but I’m now in an unstable relationship/marriage unfortunately and I’m trying to do what I can at my age.
My doc recommended doing 2-3 cycles. In my monitoring appointments they see about 17 follicles and maybe 10 look mature. Would love to hear your thoughts and experience. 🩷
Hope all went well today. Freezing embryos gives a much better chance of success (as eggs are much more fragile) if just freezing eggs then you would need a higher number of eggs to have a better chance of success after they are thawed. Would you be doing more IVF with your current partner or banking eggs now for the future possibly without them?
