Fert Report
Well we have 4 embryos! That’s what I was expecting (though I was hoping for 5). The other news is that she said they were able to ICSI 6 mature eggs… That means fully half of my eggs were mature! That’s amazing! So I’m confident we’ll have 2 good ones to transfer. Not so confident we’ll end with any frozen. But I really am hoping that won’t matter. She said to expect a day-3 transfer, which is a little disappointing – but if all 4 look top quality on friday there is still a possibility of a 5-day. So we’ll see.
I am not feeling well today. I am getting more bloated by the hour and my stomach is very upset… My pants are completely unbuttoned at this point. I really wish I could go home (but I’m taking friday off for transfer, so I can’t afford to lose more hours). I would really really like to lay down.
That’s fantastic news! About the embryos, of course, and your eggs, not about you not feeling well. I hope it doesn’t get too much worse.
FWIW, my clinic (where I did IUI, but have friends who do IVF there) would absolutely only do a 3-day transfer with 4 embryos, regardless of quality. It’s not always a bad thing. *hugs*
congratulations natalie on the 50% maturity rate! That is really great, so glad to hear that they’ve figured out a way to increase the stats on that front. Good luck waiting it out over the next couple of days-
HOORAY, my obsessive checking of this blog finally paid off. 4 embryos is good news. Now I’ll be writhing with impatience until Friday. IVF really is just one wait after another… some longer than others, but all agonizing.
That’s great!!
*wags tail!*
Excellent news, Nat!
I am hoping that you feel better soon. The bloating is a PITA!!!! Hope you get to rest a bit before transfer.
I am so glad that 1/2 were mature and 4 fertilized!!!
Feel better soon!
That is fabulous that 50% were mature. 4 embies…alright!!!
Awesome maturity rate- that bodes well!!! Will keep my fingers tightly crossed!
Excellent news!
Sending you all my best wishes.
Awesome…the higher number of mature eggs is good stuff. Hoping for two perfect 3 days for you, Natalie…fingers tightly crossed!
this is just awesome Natalie…Now I can’t wait until after transfer…how long after till you can find out whether you get pregnant??? a week right? ugh i have a horrible memory…woohooo fingers crossed for you…you know if those 2 eggs take…maybe its what was supposed to happen..twins omg.. i am getting ahead of myself but im so excited for you
Great news! Hope all will go uphill from here :o)
Congrats! Sorry about the bloating though. :(
We’re all rooting for you. Good luck tomorrow!
I wouldn’t give up hope on frosties, but like you I hope you don’t need them. I’m crossing my fingers for 2 beauties tomorrow or, even better, on Sunday.
