YAY I am so glad! I was worried when I didn't hear from you that
somehow it got lost in the mail -- but I lurked over here and learned
you were on vacation, so I figured it would make a nice homecoming
present!
And congrats on your BFP by the way... praying that these are your take-home babies. I just had a pretty rough ET (apparently we have egg quality issues on top of MFI so none made it to blast! who knew!) so it's awesome and inspiring to hear your good news
Severe MFI. Me: supposedly all clear but eggs showed vacuoles.
IVF #1 January 2012, ER Jan 14th: 34R, 27M, 23F. Day 3: 18 embies still strong. Day 5: zero "good," one "fair," the rest "poor." Transferred 3. None made it to blast or to freeze. Jan 28: BFN.
Lucky IVF #2: Transferred two beautiful day three embies on St. Patrick's Day. BFP on HPT 7dp3dt. Beta 1 (14dpER)=106; Beta 2 (16dpER)=140; Beta 3 (19dpER)=264! First u/s 4.17.

Don't get too down on yourself re: the EQ issue. Often a change in protocol or tweak to the one you did for IVF 1 can make a big difference. I heard the same words following my first IVF, but changes to the protocol for IVF 2 and 3 yielded much better results for us. It really bugs me when REs put those thoughts in your head after only one IVF. IMHO, it is too early for them to really know.
That said, I do hope that you don't have to go through this again for a long time. I have everything crossed for you!
