Findings before treatment
The patient was 40 during stimulation, with an AMH result of 0.56 ng/mL. A mosaic chromosome finding was included in the medical history. These findings formed part of the assessment before the treatment sequence described here.
Two retrieval stages within the cycle
In August 2024, the first stimulation and retrieval yielded one egg, but no blastocyst developed. A further luteal-phase stimulation took place in the same cycle and yielded three eggs, from which three blastocysts developed.

| Stage | Eggs recorded | Blastocysts recorded |
|---|---|---|
| Initial retrieval | 1 | 0 |
| Luteal-phase retrieval in the same cycle | 3 | 3 |
The account records different results at the two stages. It does not establish that luteal-phase stimulation is the appropriate plan for every patient with low ovarian reserve.
Transfer and the recorded outcome
A 5BA embryo was transferred in December 2024, and the account reports a successful pregnancy after that transfer. The narrative does not provide a later birth outcome or a detailed embryo genetic-test result, so neither is inferred from the grade or the medical history.
Records to bring to a review
If you have already had a low-yield retrieval, the egg count, maturity findings and subsequent culture record help explain where that cycle stopped. Keep them with the stimulation and monitoring records for the consultation.
