How many eggs are usually extracted and how many embryos need to be obtained?

It’s important to know that not necessarily all follicles will contain an egg and that some of the eggs obtained will not be suitable for fertilisation.

The number of eggs we obtain can vary a lot depending on factors such as age, possible pathologies and response to treatment. The average number of eggs obtained is between 5 and 10 (and between 3 and 6 fertilised embryos) in women aged under 35.

Even when we transfer only a single embryo to the uterus, there is still a possibility of pregnancy, so there is no need to worry that the number of eggs we obtain or the number of fertilised embryos is low
