What is the success rate of egg freezing?
Currently women using their own frozen eggs in treatment have a success rate of 18% (30% with frozen donor eggs), which offers no guarantee of achieving a successful pregnancy and birth.
What percentage of eggs retrieved are frozen?
How many eggs does a patient need to freeze?
| Patient age | Number of mature eggs you must freeze to attain a 50% eLBR | Number of mature eggs you must freeze to attain a 60% eLBR |
|---|---|---|
| Under 35 | 6 eggs | 8 eggs |
| 35–37 | 7 eggs | 8 eggs |
| 38–40 | 11 eggs | 13 eggs |
| 41–42 | 20 eggs | 24 eggs |
How many eggs should you freeze per child?
For women less than 35, it is ideal to freeze at least 12-15 eggs for a high chance of one child; this number increases as women get older. Of the hundreds of thousands of egg retrievals we have done, we see an average of 9-10 eggs retrieved per patient in one cycle; the average patient age is 35.9.
How many eggs should you freeze for IVF?
To ensure that you have enough frozen eggs available when the time comes to use them, we encourage you to freeze at least 10-15 eggs per planned pregnancy attempt. But these are very general numbers, and the recommendation will change with increasing age.
How many frozen embryos survive thawing?
The chance of pregnancy from embryo transfer is largely dependent on the age of the woman when embryos are created. Procedures using eggs harvested from people age 35 or younger have the highest chances in resulting in a pregnancy. Over 95% of frozen embryos survive the thawing process.
What percentage of frozen eggs survive thaw?
As we’ve discussed before, the new form of freezing, called vitrification, is significantly more effective; studies demonstrate that 90–95% of eggs frozen using vitrification survive the freezing and thawing process (compared to just 61% of slow-frozen eggs).
Is 6 frozen embryos good?
We have found from our data that there is no difference in success between an embryo that is frozen on day 5 or day 6 which is very interesting. A recent study on slow blastocyst development suggests that day 6 embryos should be frozen and transferred in a later FET cycle rather than transferred fresh.
How many embryos do not survive thawing?
And yes, there is a chance an embryo does not survive the thawing process. Though rare, others may get damaged due to human error. Overall, statistics show that 9 out of 10 embryos thawed survive. The increased survival rate is down to improved freezing techniques called vitrification.
What percentage of fertilized IVF eggs survive?
Generally, 70 to 80 percent of the eggs retrieved will fertilize. The average may be lower if sperm or egg quality is a known problem. Some attrition at this stage is normal and expected.
What percentage of fertilized eggs make it to blastocyst?
30 to 50 percent
On average, only 30 to 50 percent of embryos make it to the blastocyst stage. The failure of some embryos to not make it to the blastocyst stage is most likely due to a defect in the embryo. If, for example, we have 10 embryos on day 3 and we select two to transfer on day 3, we may not select the right embryos.
What percentage of frozen embryo transfers work?
Frozen Embryo Transfer Success Rates For patients 35 or younger, there is a 60% pregnancy rate per embryo transfer, whereas women over the age of 40 have a 20% pregnancy rate per embryo transfer.
What percentage of implanted embryos survive?
The survival rate was 69% for thawed zygotes, 85% for D3 embryos, and 88% for blastocysts [Table 1]. The implantation rate per number thawed was 10% for zygotes, 12% for D3 embryos, and 14% for blastocysts.
Is 9 frozen embryos good?
Cell number. An embryo that’s dividing well should ideally have between 6 to 10 cells by day 3. Research shows that 8 is best. (Day 3 embryos that had 8 or more cells showed a significantly higher live birth rate).
What percentage of eggs make it to day 5?
Probably a more important reason to perform transfers at the blastocyst stage is that we have a better idea of the quality of the embryo just by the fact that it survived to day 5 or 6. On average, only 30 to 50 percent of embryos make it to the blastocyst stage.
What percentage of fertilised eggs make it to day 5?
This does not mean they will not lead to a pregnancy, but we may caution you that they are less likely to make blastocysts, and less likely to implant. Remember, even if all of your embryos are perfect on day 3, on average only 40-50% of them will become blastocyst on day 5.
