What If Egg Retrieval Yields Few Eggs? Preparing for Multiple Cycles

Question

What if my body doesn’t produce enough eggs during the freezing cycle? Does that mean I will need multiple cycles, and how do women mentally and financially prepare for such unpredictable outcomes?

Dr. Ila Gupta · Accepted Answer

Women with low AMH or fewer follicles may produce a small number of eggs in a cycle. In such cases, doctors may recommend a second cycle to reach a safer number. The number of cycles required depends on your age and AMH.
Emotionally and financially, it helps to have realistic expectations before starting. Based on your response, your doctor will guide you, so you can plan instead of getting discouraged during the process.
