Out of the 16 eggs retrieved, 11 were mature, and 7 fertilized. Those aren't bad numbers for me. I usually have a lot less mature eggs, probably because I have always ended up coasting for the last few days until retrieval to prevent hyper stimulation.
Transfer day is Monday at 10:30. I hope that at least 3 of the 7 embryos are good enough to transfer. I would love to have enough to freeze one or two for a final FET if needed, but I'm not counting on it. The problem with our severe male factor is that even the good looking sperm often don't have great DNA, we never know what lies in wait for us.
In other news, we have our first winter storm! Storm Alfred has been dumping heavy, wet snow on us all day and is supposed to continue until dawn. We will probably have a foot of snow by the time it winds down. Much of the state of Ct already is experiencing power outages. We still have power...for now. (dum dum dum...ominous music). I hope that they have back up power at the clinic! (I'm sure they have generators. most likely, right?).
Great to have 7 fertilised... FXd for your transfer and all your little embies :)) xoxo
ReplyDeleteSo glad things are going well so far! Fingers crossed that you have several to choose from for transfer and some left to freeze!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck today! Those are great numbers. Hope the snow doesn't cause any issues...I'm sure the clinic can function no matter what!
ReplyDeleteFIngers and toes and everything else crossed...
Transfer day was yesterday right? How did it go?
ReplyDeleteOMGoodness! I've never thought about a power outage at the clinic! Outside of just all the everyday procedures, what happens to the frozen embies people have? How do they prevent them from thawing? Thank goodness that rarely happens in Oregon.
