Aa
got the ferilization report
They sort of prepared us for this, because the nurse said that out of the 17 eggs that they got, it looked like only 7 of them came from mature follicles. So that's what we got - 7 fertilized. I'm a little disappointed, but we'll see how many we end up with. Last time we had 16 eggs, 8 fertilized and ended up with 2 blastocysts. So we'll see...
I asked why I thought they were rushing me in the home stretch, because when I went in Weds and they said I was ready, but they still had me take a "booster" shot of stims that afternoon, before taking the trigger that night. I asked why we didn't just wait one more day, and they said because my mature ones were approaching being too big, so there was a chance we could've lost all those good ones if we waited longer.
I was hoping for 10 so that we end up with some extras to put on ice, but they said there's no rhyme or reason to predicting how they're gonna grow. All 7 could grow beautifully (I doubt it, but they said it's possible). Who knows? I'll probably call Tuesday to see how they're doing, but as of now I've got a five day transfer scheduled for 7:45am on Weds.
I'm still feeling pretty good too! This is the first of 4 times on injectables that I don't even have the swollen ovary pain. I'm just a little tender inside from the retrieval. But so far - no infection, no hyperstimulation and very little discomfort! I'm like, "oh, so THIS is what it was SUPPOSED to be like last time!" - this is a piece of cake! I'm so excited and WAY more optimistic because I'm feeling so good.
