Treatments you tried before IVF: plenty o' IUIs
How many IVF did you do before success: 1
Are you using donor eggs or sperm: both!
Protocol (meds taken): progesterone in ethyl oleate and delestrogen (no stim meds because we used an egg donor)
How many follicles at ER: 25
How many eggs retrieved: 23
How many eggs fertilized: 12

How many and quality/rating of embryos/blasts transferred: 2 grade 2 early blasts - none left to freeze

Anything else you would have wanted to know before you started this process! I would've loved a crystal ball to have told me how we would finally have a successful pregnancy so I wouldn't have had to go through the pain of each of the earlier steps. But life doesn't work that way, and we're really grateful to be where we are now.
