Fert Report

gsancho · June 2014

Of the 7 mature they retrieved, 4 fertilized. Not as great as I hoped, but I'm so pessimistic, I was ready for them to say it was all a big old fail already. So I'm ok with it. At the same time, if they are going to only freeze those that make it to blastocyst, I know there's a chance I have nothing to transfer. Either way, I'm mentally prepping I'll have to do the ER process all over again before they do a transfer, but maybe I'll get lucky and we'll have 2-3 good blastocysts to do an FET in July or August.

The downside is that I won't get my next report for 5-7 days!! It'll be a long week....I wish my eggs didn't suck!

I think you're doing your best to stay positive and props to you for staying strong through everything you've been put through! Obviously you know this already: I have been discovering that the waiting is the most exhaustive part of IF.

Although this is probably not new advice to you as a veteran, but the things that have kept me sane are hobbies and projects. I have thrown myself into projects around the house and my hobbies: country line dancing, wine charm making, and novel writing. It helps to have projects and goals that you can control the fact that you will have an end result that you can be proud of (as opposed to butting your head against the wall with medical variables that are completely out of your hands).

...I'm thinking of trying underwater basket weaving next

Hey, sounds like good news since you were mentally prepared for worse. I am an expect the worst type, too. Hang in there and FX for a great update soon!

Thanks for updating. Good luck to you!

Agreed. I have more plants than ever in my garden this year, even though I added a bunch last year. In addition to keep my mind off of waiting, it's nice to be able to prove to myself that I can create something. I'm also flying through books. This weekend I should probably channel that focus into cleaning the house, lol.

((Hugs)) I'm also one who prepares for worst case scenarios, so I totally see your logic there!! FX that they are strong little embies!

Congrats on fertilized eggs!! Wow, that is a long wait for the next report.

Hope the time goes easily for you.

I like your thought process of already telling yourself it will take another egg retrieval, to try and avoid disappointment...I like to work that way too and find it very helpful! And of course it will be super awesome if it turns out you do have good blast(s) to transfer.

I just have a feeling you have some rock stars in that bunch. I'm keeping everything crossed for you. I'm really hoping you have some good blastocysts and get to have a transfer in July/august. I hope we both do and we can transfer at the same time. Why not start off cycling together and get pregnant together!

theholmanherd · June 2014

I hope you and pinto both get to transfer soon! Keep us posted

lebradford · June 2014

I hope your four! I hope you can do a transfer sooner rather than later!

To another fellow pessimist in the group I just tell my husband that I am not being pessimistic, I am just being honest with myself as I know that things aren't perfect nor fair in this world and sometimes it makes it a bit easier to digest then always being so optimistic and getting hurt in the end.

So I will cross everything and add you to my prayer list this week that a super star emerges!!
