QuestionI am 44. I have 10 follicles. My estrogen is 1850 and this is Friday -my retrieval
is scheduled for Monday. I am soooo exhausted and just hoping I have eggs
healthy enough to implant. Where am I statically for my age and success?
Thank you so much for any help you can give.
AnswerHello Susan from the U.S.,
As you know, each individual's statistics are not predictable, and are very much also dependent on the clinic. To know what your chances are at your clinic, you should ask your clinic what their statistics are for your age group.
Nationally, the chances of pregnancy at your age are 7.2% with a live birth rate of 3.3% if you are using your own eggs.
Good Luck,
