Day 1 fertilization report WTH!

Yesterday they retrieved 8 eggs.  I got the call this morning that of the 8 they were only able to inject 4 and of the 4 only 2 fertilized.  What happened??????

Sorry you didn't get great news. I'm guessing the other 4 weren't mature?

I'm sorry you got this news this morning. Ditto on the PP about maturity. For this cycle I had 2 that weren't mature but they matured overnight & then the ICSI'ed them the following day & they fertilized. Perhaps they may be able to do the same with your remaining 4 eggs.

I've had low retrival rates both IVFs, in my clinic they will do a 2 day transfer in cases like this if there are only 2 & that's what you were planning on transferring. They go with the theory of they are better in the uterus than in the lab waiting until day 3 or 5. Is this an option the discussed with you? It's something to think about. It makes for a longer more difficult 2WW though.

Hugs, so sorry you are delaing with this! :-(

Sorry you didn't get better news. My results were similair to yours. I would assume the other were not mature enough or they were over mature. I hope at least one of those two is you're lucky one!

Sorry. Hope your other 2 are ok.

one of our cycles was similar, our only issue is severe MFI.  they did a 2 day transfer of 2 of the embryos, I got my BFP but it sadly ended in a cp - good luck it really does only take 1

Fingers crossed for your 2!

I'm so sorry. I'm dealing with disappointing numbers, too. I know it's hard to stay positive but sending prayers that your two fertilized grow into strong, healthy embryos.

This is really similar to my fert report with IVF#1.  We had 7 retrieved, but only 4 were able to be ICSI'd (mature) and only 1 fertilized normally. 

Of the 3 that weren't able to be injected, 1 wasn't mature, and the other two deteriorated almost immediately which I'm told is due to quality issues. 

Of the 3 that were mature but didn't fertilize normally- we are blaming that on my chromosomal issue which makes fertilization possible, but further division impossible/severely slowed.  In your siggy I see that your DH has a microdeletion- could that have had something to do with low fertilization rates? 

Also, to ech what PP said- since we only had 1 embryo, we did a 2dt, bc really, why not.  There's still hope, and I will be thinking of you and crossing my fingers that you can do a transfer and get good news in a couple of weeks!!

I'm so sorry. I dealt with this too. I had 15 retrieved and only 5 fertilized normally...I was very shocked, upset and worried. Many were still immature. But 6 made it to day 5 as morulas, in which i transferred 2 of the best. Only 1 made it freeze the day after which was also disappointing but at least theres one. Just try to stay positive. I know how you are feeling. I couldn't sleep and was a mess until the day of transfer. You still have a good chance. FX for you.

Fingers crossed your 2 fertilized continue to grow! Best wishes
