Infertility

Had DE 3dt today

I was very disappointed to get that call.  I thought a DE cycle would finally get us to a 5dt and, in my experience, being called in for 3d meant they weren't doing very well.

Well, boy was I wrong!  Of our 9 embryos, we still have 8 of them!!   4-5 were looking really good and 3, while lagging behind, are still alive.

Given my history, they decided to be more aggressive and bring me in for a day 3 and also to transfer 3 into me (which they only do 5% of the time when using donor eggs).  He said all 3 look great, with one, in particular, looking really great.  All have less than 5% fragmentation.  He put our odds at 60% (I've never heard them give better odds, so, I think that's their max), 30% for twins, and 5% for trips.

So, I have 3 babies in me now and they're stil watching the other 5 for potential freezing!!  And, I feel so much better than I felt this morning!!

  • I logged on to check on you - good timing for me! 

    I am soooooooo thrilled for you - how exciting!!!   You have awesome odds and I'm guessing you will fall into that 30% bracket and get twins!!  Woo Hoo!!!  Take it easy - make your DH wait on you hand and foot and enjoy all the pampering and attention - you deserve it.  When will you find out if the others make it to freeze??  Not that you will need them - except for maybe a few years down the road when you are ready for another one!!! 

    Good luck!!  Sending you ton of good wishes and positive vibes!!! 

  • Oh Lisa I am so happy for you.  This has to be it!  Sounds like fantastic things are happening.  Fingers are crossed and prayers are being said!
  • Good luck!  Grow embies grow!

    TTC since May 2006. After 3 failed Clomid cycles, 2 failed Injectibles/IUIs, 2 failed IVFs and 1 failed FET, we moved on to adoption!

  • Wow that sounds terrfiic!

    I know most people get discouraged with a 3dt but my RE prefers them, even if you have lots of great embryos.

    I can't wait to hear about your BFP!

  • That's great!!! How exciting!!  I hope they continue to grow nice and strong and the other ones turn into nice frozen embies! 

    Rest up and GOOD LUCK!!!!

  • That sounds great!!!!!! And that's almost exactly what happened with me.  We still had so many growing, although we transferred 3 at 3dt. So far, I'm happy with the decision:-)  GL to you!!!!!!

  • That all sounds like great news! 60% is phenomenal - the highest my RE ever gave us was 50% and that's with me under 30 and top quality embryos. Best of luck and keep us posted!

  • Thanks everyone!!  I haven't felt this hopeful since we had 4 embryos, albeit with my old eggs, in IVF #4 in September '07!   The countdown begins!

    Oh, and I realized today that, one of the benefits of donor eggs - no trigger to test out!!

  • I am so excited for you!  8 embryos is a fantastic number.....hopefully you'll get some good frosties out of them.

    60% chance is awesome.  Get lots of rest and let the embies snuggle in. 

  • That sounds great! Good luck with this cycle!
