A member asked:

Had failed ivf cycle today, as dr. says only 02 eggs were retrieved from 9 follicles grown & those two failed to fertilize with icsi. is it possible?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Normal women have a cycle every month but only a few pregnancies in her life. The careful success of a pregnancy requires a host of issues to successfully line up. probably 60% of impregantions are still not successful and even in the face of many sperm many eggs are never impregnanted. Much is still a mystery.
