Embryology just called with an update. Yesterday they were watching 8 eggs. They said they could freeze on a day 5 or 6. As of today, they will only freeze two. Both are 3BB quality. I'm a little surprised since there were 8 yesterday and now we are down to two. I know that I'm lucky to get any frozen at all, but I was a little surprised. As they said, these are the "best of the best."
I thought of this yesterday. . . they retrieved 18 eggs. . that's a year and half worth of ovulating and I never get those back. Kinda weird! So of 18, we have 2 in and 2 on ice. Such a numbers game!

Thanks for commenting because I needed that reality check. Also, I think I just told someone the other day "Quality not Quantity" and then I forget it myself.
Yea, the two of us won't need 'em! LOL-
OH, and PP made me lol with the twin comment.
hehehehehehe
Two is definitely good. So many people don't have any to freeze.
I agree with the other ladies, though, you aren't going to need them!

Hi!
Just wanted to let you know that the same thing happened to us. We had 13 embryos, transferred 2, and they were only able to freeze 2. It's totally normal and just "natural selection" as my RE told us. Nothing to be concerned over.
Glad everything is going so well! Good luck!!
Thanks Omega! I appreciate it
Natural selection makes sense!
