Just got 7 good embryos and 4 degens from the first time flushing my Net Worth donor.  Considering she got the generic first time dose I thought this was pretty good.  I know there are some folks on here that do a lot of flushing.  What do you consider a good flush.  I would personally like to be in the 10 - 15 embryo count.  Anything over 20 starts to worry me a little about blowing an ovary.  Just thought it would be interesting to hear some opinions and experiences.

Ten is always a goal for us.  I can live with 7 to 9, and I always welcome the home run too....Had 39 on one flush this year.

Get discouraged with less than 6 or 7, but those flushes are still much better than the zeros~

agree with Husker1 -- i get excited with anyhting over 12, we had had a family line of donors that averaged around 30 embryos/flush even with multiple flushes/year ( we still have some of those embryos lieing around in the tank from 5-7 years ago ), we get discouraged if under 5... with 6 we say it could be better could be worse.... but the 1,2, or zero are really dissappointing, especially after having a few cows do 20s everytime or the time you get 16 unfertilized or degens is depressing

these numbers reflect freezable embryos
