Lone egg ET update - it's a morula

DMD1029DMD1029 member
in TTC after 35

We transferred yesterday.  Turns out my lone egg turned was at the morula stage (day 5 transfer).  The embryologist said that it looked good and that they see "plenty of pregnancies" with morulas.  After looking it up on Dr Google, I learned that morulas can become blastocysts within 12 hours.  So hopefully by now that's where it is.  I also learned that morphology issues (which is what DH has) can cause a morula to arrest between the 5th & 6th day.  I'm trying to remain calm and just focus on getting our little guy to grow and settle in. 

Interestingly, my nurse told me that I shouldn't take my fish oil between now and when they do the beta.  I hadn't heard that one before, so thought I'd share.  She also said that I shouldn't have any caffeine - even white tea during the next 2 weeks.  Which totally bums me out.  But, I'll do anything I can to make our little guy happy and healthy!

    This may be a dumb question, but would the morphology issues come into play since you did ICSI?  Wouldn't they have picked out the best sperm to use?

    Good luck!  I hope to hear good news from you soon!!

    She didn't, but I'm thinking that it was maybe b/c fish oil isn't regulated by FDA so she was advocating for an abundance of caution.  Neither DH nor I are carriers for Cystic Fibrosis, so I'm willing to forgo the fish oil for a few weeks. My PNV has DHA in it anyway.

    Our morula was a blast on day 6 and was able to be frozen, so that's a good sign!
