How many eggs will be available to the recipient couple after egg retrieval?
Typically, during egg retrieval 8-20 eggs are retrieved. After retrieval, eggs and sperm are combined in the laboratory through IVF or ICSI. Three to five days after retrieval, the recipient woman will transfer 1-2 embryo(s) into her uterus. The recipient couple will have the option of freezing additional embryos in order to have a frozen embryo transfer at a late date.
