Fert report in...

not as good as I would have liked but I have nothing to compare it with as this was our 1st IVF. 

They actually retrieved 28 eggs instead of 27 as previously thought.  They did ICSI on 14 eggs and 6 fertilized, 6 didn't and 2 fertilized but degenerated.  They did conventional on the remaining 14 eggs and only 1 fertilized normally, 12 didn't, and 1 abnormally fertilized.  Apparently they are going to do secondary ICSI on the 12 eggs that didn't fertilize.  Does anyone have any experience doing secondary ICSI?

So we only have 7 embies in the running and that's all we know at this point.  I asked the nurse if that is a low number of embies for all the eggs we got and she said that would be a question for the RE but that she did think that was a low #.  I was hoping for more.  I doubt that we'll have any leftover to freeze.  

Ugh.  Very disappointing.   Nurse said she'd call tomorrow.

    7 embies is pretty great IMO. We only had two and I got a positive beta on Mon, so try and be hopeful!

    don't lose hope. SEVEN is still great. And there's lots of time for them to grow and mature. You could have seven rockstars!

    It's so hard not to be disappointed when they got so many eggs. Agree with pp's that it only  takes one good one. Hope they continue to grow and you have a great ET!

    7 embies is not so bad!  Although it does seem low, for having retreived 28 eggs. But maybe you will have more after the second ICSI.  I really hope so.  Good luck to you and hoping for the strong embies!
