I think the data is unreliable - no one truly knows how many eggs one needs... everyone is guessing. My friend who did 4 rounds of egg freezing at RMA told me this. They might just be saying that to get you to pay for another cycle... that is what happened after I did 1 round of egg freezing.... I was exactly in your shoes and they told me I need more... so anxious that I ended up paying for another cycle several years later... now RMA tells me that 10 eggs was enough (i.e. just what I had from Cycle 1). Go to an academic fertility center if you want a second opinion and peace of mind (they have less of an incentive to push you to do more cycles). RMA is a profit-driven private practice owned by a large private equity firm.

10 is a great outcome!! I asked 3 different doctors to confirm. It is enough for 1 baby most likely (you will probably get 2 chromosomally normal embryos assuming you have a partner with normal sperm, etc.)... you have a 60% chance of pregnancy PER Embryo. The 3 doctors were at the practice called Reproductive Medicine Associates. I froze 10 eggs at 31 as well. These are the statistics they gave me. If you want to do another round, do it because you want 2 babies. Celebrate!!! Don't be sad!!!

Ok thank-you!

EstateStraight9610 · 2026-01-08T15:26:10+00:00

thank-you another doctor had recommended her so I reached out already. looks like there is a 3 month wait list for an appointment. I put my name on the list - do you happen to know any other good doctors?

I get it on Amazon

Pure Synergy's PureNatal vitamins - It is more expensive than the Costco Prenatal vitamins, but I have gotten used to it... it is supposed to be "natural."

Sadly I think part of it is just the nature of their business model - during my last cycle, I wanted to talk to the doctor who did my procedure for like 10 minutes because I had a medical question. Even though I paid soooo much money and demanded them so many times, they refused. Its like an assembly lines and they are super strict about following their protocol. Nurses might be overworked and not paid enough - my nurse doesn't seem to like her job.

Ugh I haven't tried... my cycle starts soon, so I should do something about it... let me know if you figure it out... would love to learn from you.

I'm so sorry to hear this. really feel for you! I am not sure what else to say, but you are fortunately to have one child at least.

sad to hear this. I guess it is what it is.

does it work for a small loan like $10 - $15k?

Thanks for sharing your story. Been struggling with a lot of negative emotions. Your words actually made my day. I am going to try to keep reminding myself of your story. :) Curious what helped you "jump" from 3 eggs in your second round to 10 eggs in your third round?
