TTC after 35

Not such a stellar fert report

Well, the embryologist just called me and the news is not the best, but I guess not the ultimate worst either. ?He started the call with "It was not as good as last time". ?So, I knew it was not going to be good.

They ended up having 12 eggs, not 11. ?Four of the eggs had broken shells, brings us down to 8, 3 are not mature, brings us down to 5 mature eggs.

So far only two have fertilized. ?They are waiting to see if the others fertilize. ?But the embryologist did not make it sound too promising.

Basically if the two fertilized are the only two and they look okay tomorrow, they will do a 3 day transfer and if one is not good on day 3, but the other seems okay, they will wait and do a 5 day transfer with that one and our one frozen embryo.

This is SO not how I thought the fert report would be. ?I swear this time I was having such a positive attitude and went to acupuncture and was so relaxed, I thought I would have a wonderful report. I so wasn't prepared to hear any of the above. ?I know I am not out of the game, but I feel like I am in the middle of a nail biting, scary, suspense filled game. ?I can not wait for tomorrow to see what is going on. ?(Did the two fertilized ones continue dividing, did any others fertilize)

Hope everyone is having a better day than me... ?I am off to have some icecream....not that will change the fert report, but it might make my tummy happy! ? ? Thanks for listening....?

  • I am sorry you are disappointed.  It is so hard when you try to stay positive and you are not greeted with the news you were expecting. 

    But... you are right.  YOu are no where near out of the game.  So fingers crossed that those 2 are rock stars and all that you need. 

    Go enjoy your ice cream.  You deserve it! :)
