None of the 8 fertilized. NONE. They're going to try rescue ICSI today and we'll know more tomorrow.
On the one hand, this could explain the 3 years of unsuccessful trying. On the other hand, I did get 2 natural BFPs along the way (one chemical, but one all the way to heartbeat before m/c) so that's confusing.
DH is at work and I called him, but there was much loud screaming before I did, so that I could speak. Debating on whether to call and wake up my mom on the West coast so I can scream so more.
