IVF Success: Multiple egg retrievals
Stories from patients who required three or more IVF egg retrieval cycles before achieving success.
💬 These stories are part of the Uterine Wall of Fame — a growing collection of real IVF success stories submitted by patients who faced challenging scenarios like poor-quality embryos or low AMH. The UWOF is a project by Remembryo / Embryoman, a site that highlights new IVF research. All UWOF posts are free to access (no subscription required).
⚠️ These stories are personal experiences, not medical advice or scientific evidence. Success stories are more likely to be shared than unsuccessful ones, so they should not be interpreted as proof that a treatment works. Always discuss treatment decisions with your doctor.

Through 7 retrievals, mini IVF, endometriosis surgery, and years of perseverance, Stephanie conceived at 42 from a double transfer of untested Day 6 and Day 7 embryos. She’s now 34 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby girl.
This patient went through six IVF cycles with multiple failed transfers and years of unexplained infertility. A final low-stimulation cycle and one day 3 embryo finally led to pregnancy and a baby girl.
A double day 3 embryo transfer brought success for a patient with PCOS—after 7 IVF cycles and repeated setbacks, one embryo implanted and became her healthy son.
