IVF: How Many Eggs Do You Need To Get To A Normal Embryo?

Double board certified OBGYN and REI, Dr. Natalie Crawford, discusses the amount of eggs you need to get to a normal embryo. In this video, Dr. Crawford reviews a paper recently published in Fertility and Sterility called “The minimum number of mature oocytes needed to obtain at least one euploid blastocyst according to female age in IVF treatment cycles” So often no expectations are set so the assumption is that IVF is going to work.
