The fertilization report is in. We have 6 embryos growing in the lab. I am THRILLED, just absolutely thrilled.
Having said that, though, I feel like that is a somewhat low fertilization rate (and I'm not sure how many out of our 17 eggs were mature: I didn't ask, and this info wasn't volunteered). I'm not going to worry about it too much for now, though. But I do wonder if this may at least partially explain why we haven't been getting pregnant?
Also, that progesterone needle looked like it was going to kill me. But then, it went in so easily. And was absolutely painless. Still, that is one long ass needle.
Is There Anybody Out There?

Hip Hip Hooray! Great news, again....things are moving along perfectly. ARe you doing a 3 day or 5 day transfer? xoxoxoxoxxo
ReplyDelete6 embryos is a great number, but you a right. IVF certainly is a numbers game and it becomes so obvious!!! Keep us posted on everything and good luck to you!!!
ReplyDeleteWWWWOOOOHHOOOO for the 6 embies!!! What a lovely variety to choose from! :) KUP!!!

ReplyDelete6 embryos! Yea!
ReplyDeleteI hope for your sake that the continue to grow and do their thing.
I think 6 is a great number! I had 6, and I love each of them. Too bad my little ones did not make it, but I feel confident that yours will. 6 is AWESOME!!!! GOOOOO SUPER SIX!!
ReplyDeleteSuch great news!!! And I've been blog stalking but not commenting lately, but I had the same thing, 15 eggs and only 5 fertilized...my RE told me he wasn't thrilled with the fertilization rate but all but 1 made it, so at least they were kick ass embryos (as I'm sure yours will be). But I totally just like you wondered if sucky fertilization was maybe the reason we weren't getting preggo!! I will be thinking of your embabies this week, let's go SUPER SIX!!!
ReplyDeletecongrats! 6 is great! congrats! you have embabies! when is the transfer? how many will you transfer?
ReplyDelete6 embryos is wonderful. And those progesterone needles do look horribly long - glad it was a cinch to do. Will be thinking such good thoughts for your six!
