thanks everyone for the support and kind words. AFS did ICSI so i think that's why so many were able to fertilize. we dont really have any male factor issues - DH has slightly low morphology that's been treated with antioxidants. even so ICSI bypasses morphology so maybe that's why our fert rate was 100%. im more surprised that all 18 were mature/fertilizable!!
that we end up with lots of day 5 blasts to choose from, and some frosties as well!!! Also that I make it to day 5 OHSS free since I feel a little like i got hit by a truck today !!
Yay!! Fantastic update. Remember to fill up on electrolytes to help avoid any OHSS and tell that DH of yours to dart that sucker PIO needle right in (seriously like he is playing a game of darts! that's how Olga showed us and it was a GOD SEND!) its MUCH easier than going slow (for him and you!).

GROW EMBIES GROW!
thanks so much!!
I should report that DH did a 100000% better job with the PIO on night 2. he did it so perfectly i barely felt anything and it's not very sore today either!! I think my emotional outburst the first night freaked him out a bit, but he was SO great on night two!!
the original plan was to transfer 2 blasts on day 5 pending quality. i will get another fert report tomorrow and then talk to dr. B to confirm. but im pretty sure that's still the plan unless the embryos don't cooperate!!
