Fine, three. And no, you gave a woman’s account. You didn’t give the clinic.

I gave a reference to IVF Connections

http://www.ivfconnections.com/qtransfer.htm

This is a reference board for more than “one woman”

You have not given a single reference/link.

This is the first site I found:

“Appropriate patients are offered IVF, after some initial testing such as a sperm count, a few hormone tests and an evaluation of the uterine cavity to establish the cause of infertility. The first stage involves stimulating the woman’s ovaries so that several eggs mature. Normally, a woman produces one egg in each menstrual cycle, but with IVF, many ovarian follicles are produced by hormone stimulation and several eggs are obtained (usually 7-15) and a number of embryos are produced after oocyte fertilization. Two or three embryos are replaced into the woman’s uterus to increase the chance of getting pregnant the first time...However, one of the most important things to remember about IVF is that it only works about half the time in the best couples. So sometimes the patient needs to repeat the cycle.”
