That's the chance of getting a pregnancy, not a baby.

It's probably less than that.

It's probably 10 to 15 at best.

And you can go six months and not be pregnant, and you think there's something wrong with you, and you're normal.

You just didn't get a good egg yet.

Because it takes a lot of eggs to find the one that's going to make the baby.

And even the ones that are chromosomally normal, only a fraction of those make a baby.

If you think about the way the system was designed, you went through 80 eggs to get your three babies from the time you were 14 to 25.

In the 80s, when you were 19, by the time you were 30, you went through 120 eggs, you had your two or three kids.

Not that you were trying every month, but that worked out okay, but now you're starting at 37.

You have to go through a lot more eggs to find the one good one.

You can spend month after month after month going one egg at a time.

It doesn't work very well.

That's the patient we get in and say, look, you want a family?

Let's talk about how many good embryos you need to do that.

You need for every baby, one chromosomally normal healthy embryo gets you 63% chance.

You need three to get 96% chance.

So you got to do IVF and get enough embryos in the freezer that you can build your family because you're going to be older after you have a baby and it's going to be harder.

So if you're a single woman and you're in your 30s, go get an evaluation and learn.

Learn the science.
