r/eggfreezing

I’m so anxious!!
context:

froze 8 eggs at 39

just warmed them on 9/30…TEN YEARS LATER!

7/8 survived the thaw

7/7 fertilized

TODAY, we find out if we made any blasts!!
Im 49, and fortunately healthy, regular weight, regular periods. My grandmother had her last baby, my uncle, at 47, naturally, and it was never a big deal. No one was questioning her age at my uncles graduation HAHA As a matter of fact, I didn’t even know she had him that late until my cousin told me.

I know I can do this. I want to give hope to other ladies. Please put a little baby dust in the air for me! #prayingforblasts 💜

TELL YOUR YOUNGER FRIENDS AND COWORKERS TO FREEZE THEIR EGGS!!!

I am starting my second egg retrieval today (first one was 8/20). I had my ultrasound and bloodwork this morning. She mentioned a hemorrhagic cyst while doing my ultrasound but said I’m still clear for treatment. Still waiting on bloodwork results. Has anyone experienced this? I’m just nervous because I did not have any cysts during my first retrieval and wondering if I should wait for it to resolve before proceeding, especially with the cost of treatment. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Heading into first egg retrieval and worked very hard financially to get here. Unexpectedly found out low AMH 2 weeks after my 30th bday, looking for any positive outcomes/success stories with frozen eggs as I’m feeling super nervous about this whole process and trying to find the light- TIA!

—yes I’m aware embryos have a better success rate however I have no interest in using a sperm donor at this point in my life

Turned 45 less than two months ago, No children and partner so I am starting my ivf journey on my own using donor sperm and trying with own eggs . I am priming and working on dropping a little more weight just to improve my metabolic index and BMI

I have really low AMH I will share my most recent AMH after labs. I’m looking for women in my age bracket and older to form a community, exchange knowledge information support and hope.

I will update as I go.. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated ❤️

I’m all ready to start my first cycle but I have two options. I can either buy my meds via self pay for $3100 or try and run it through my insurance to see how much they will cover, which will delay my cycle by two weeks. I’m not sure what they will cover, if any. What would you do?

Does anyone know of any clinics or practitioners that will do remote IVF cycle monitoring in/around Denver, CO?

Our clinic is in another state. We’re desperate.

October 6, 2026 – I had my first egg retrieval today with Olive Fertility in Vancouver, and I honestly had an amazing experience.

The day before, I was so worried about the pain because I generally have a low pain tolerance. However, right before the procedure, the team gave me two painkillers through my IV while asking a few casual questions to keep me relaxed. The next thing I knew, I was completely sedated and woke up comfortably once it was all over after 20 minutes. Afterward, they wheeled me into a recovery room where my husband was waiting. The nurses were so caring, and I felt like I got a great, restful sleep.

My procedure was performed by Dr. Hitkari, and he was incredible—he was so knowledgeable and truly understood my past egg retrieval experiences at other clinics.

To all the ladies out there nervous about this step: please don’t be afraid. The care and process here in Canada are truly reassuring! At the end they told me 16 eggs retrieved 🤞

Hi!
For anyone who has done estrogen priming prior to egg retrieval do you believe it helped?
Do you think the more days you primed made a difference/a higher dose?
First time doing this- and I’m also battling low AMH
Thanks

Hi all! Please can I get some recommendations of IVF clinics in London? I am self funded. Would be helpful to know the pros and cons of the ones people always mention (e.g. CRGH, Lister, Evewell, ARGC, Aria)...

Also should I consider PGT? HFEA seem to say it has no benefit...

Thanks for all your help!
