Another mediocre fert report for us

in Infertility Veterans

I'm not all that surprised, but was certainly hoping for a bit better news.  At this point, I'm trying to remind myself that we're no worse than last cycle (likely 1 embie to transfer) and there's still a chance for things to improve.  Here's our stats...

Out of 7 eggs retrieved, 6 could be ICSI'd:
1 fertilized normally (please be healthy & please stick around!)
1 has started to fertilize but still behind (c'mon little dude!)
4 eggs were immature, just watching them to see if anything happens

FX we make it to transfer!

TTC since honeymoon in 9/2010
Me: 39, Dx DOR (FSH = 10.5, AMH = 0.43, best AFC = 10), AMA
MH: 37, Dx Obstructive Azoospermia, multiple successful sperm retrieval procedures

1/2012: IVF/ICSI #1 Antagonist = cancelled d/t poor response to max stims
2/2012: IVF/ICSI #2 MDLF (4R, 4M, 1F) = BFP, saw heartbeat, missed m/c 9w0d, D&E
8/2012: IVF/ICSI #3 EPP/MDLF (7R, 2M, 1F) = BFN

12/2012: (New RE) Operative hysteroscopy to remove scar tissue

1/2013: IVF/ICSI #4 Low-dose stim/Antagonist (AFC=6); ER=1/26 (5R-couldn't access rt ovary, 5M, 4F), ET=1/29 (trans 3) = BFP!; 2/11 beta#1(13dp3dt)=2127, 2/13=3367; twin girls due 10/19/13

PAIF/SAIF very welcome!

    Sorry you didn't get better news but you may just have 2 lil fighters in there.

    Out of curiosity (and this may sound totally off the wall) but would it be possible to transfer your good one on day 3 and then transfer your late bloomer on day 5? I want to say I read someone did that (blueberries maybe?). I recall someone doing a 3 day and then a 5 day transfer. Anyone else remember that? If it was Blueberries, she was in Israel at the time so I am not even sure they do that here but maybe you could ask? 

    TTC 1/2010 DH Dx - Azoospermia 2/2011
    Hysteroscopy 3/2011 2 Polyps removed 4/2011
