fert report :/

Not what we were expecting to hear.

Out of the 24 eggs collected only 12 were mature which he said is a lot fewer than they expected.

They ICSI'd those 12 and 11 fertilized.

They are not freezing any at the zygote stage because they require that you have 12 or more to do that.

More tomorrow. =( I am so disappointed. We were really hoping to freeze some today and some later because we cannot afford another fresh cycle any time soon. This sucks.

EDIT: I know that 11 isnt bad but they told us yesterday that they thought 20 should be mature. So this is half of what we were expecting.

I think 12 is a great number to be mature and the fact that 11 are fertilized is awesome! I'm sorry you couldn't freeze some at this stage, but I definitely think you will have some snow babies from this cycle for sure. Hang in there... I look forward to knowing how those embies are growing!

I am sorry your report wasn't better, but 11 out of 12 fertilizing is really good. I know it would have been better if you had more mature eggs.

(((hugs)))

nola8446 · September 2010

I still think that is a good number and 11 out of 12 is great!

etoyama · September 2010

i'm sorry you're disappointed

But as others have said, 11 out of 12 is fantastic!

Yellow_Daisy · September 2010

That is a great fert report! Don't focus on the 24 (I know easy for me to say) focus on the fact that 92% of your eggs fertilized! That is fantastic. I've got everything crossed that you get great news on their progress. ::::grow embies grow::::

labbylover03 · September 2010

So sorry it's not what you were expecting. You have a great number of embies growing right now! You still have a great shot of having some to freeze!

Good luck!! Grow little embies!

NicoleeBonsai · September 2010

12 mature, 11 fertilized is a great number! i know it's not what you expected so that is disappointing. but i just know that these 11 will keep growing strong.

and you only need 2 or 3 to implant, so just imagine if the rest keep growing - you'll still have several snowbabies ((HUGS))

mdluv21 · September 2010

I hope those 11 keep thriving and you still end up having some to freeze!

halfnhalf · September 2010

omg, I saw your FB post and I was expecting much worse news than this... I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that you have 11 of the 12. That's not bad at all, although it always sucks when you expect one thing and you end up with something less. I'll bet you still end up with some to freeze! Keep the faith, girl! Stay positive! And hope you're feeling better

I hope your 11 rock stars keep growing strong! Grow embies grow!

ked1068 · September 2010

I completely understand your frustration and sadness. I too was able to have many eggs retrieved but few were mature. There isn't much you can do now but concentrate on the eleven great embies you have growing and multiplying. Not what you want, but try to keep your head up and to remain positive. *HUGS*

jani7 · September 2010

11 out of 12 is great! I only had 8 mature and had two to transfer and two to freeze so you could certainly still have some frosties! Sorry you are disappointed though

STL34 · September 2010

I am sorry you didn't have as many as you hoped. But, 11 is a great number. I hope they keep growing well and you have some to freeze in the end. Good luck!

meg_koole · September 2010

Lindsey, I know right now you are down, but I have a feeling as this week progresses and you hear how AWESOME your embies are growing, you will cheer up Big Smile AND you will definitely have some frosties in case you want more children (since I know this is going to work for you)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

inlove731 · September 2010

That's a great number!! I understand your frustration, totally, but stay positive! You've got a lot of good stuff going on!!

esperanza123 · September 2010

Don't be too bummed cycle buddy! I also had 11 of 12 mature that fertilized. Maybe this is a good sign that we both had the same numbers also being Nittany Lions. Thinking of you and your embies. It's certainly still possible for you to have some frosties!

ej708 · September 2010

I know it's hard when things don't go as expected. ((Hugs)). However, I think 11 out of 12 fertilizing is great and I bet you'll still have some frosties! Grow little embies, grow!

wewannababy · September 2010

Lots of hugs!! I know it can be super disappointing to not have happen what you are expecting. I still think 12 embies is a great number and the fact that 11 fertilized out of the 12 mature is great news! Lots of growing vibes.

BMWwife · September 2010

I am sorry you are disappointed with the number of mature eggs. I hope you 11 fertilized ones are more then you need.

theworms · September 2010

11 embies growing is awesome cutie!

Sending tons for great growing vibes.

GL & PPV!

whispergrrl · September 2010

I'm sorry the results weren't what you were expecting/hoping for, hon. It sucks when things don't work out as we want them to. I really hope those 11 that fertilized are rock stars for you! Good luck....

amy1004 · September 2010

Sorry it wasn't what you were expecting. 11 sounds good to me!

sushi&wasabi · September 2010

Hey! Sorry I'm responding so late. I need to get better at this. But I wanted to let you know that I am so excited you had 11 out of your 12 mature eggs fertilize! I can understand your frustration as my last RE always talked up about how they were going to get all these eggs from me, etc., and I always worried that they were focusing more on quantity than quality. I hope your embies keep on growing strong! When will you hear next from the RE as far as an update is concerned?
