Kinda bummed....

Got my fertilization report- Out of the 13 retrieved , 10 were mature and only 4 fertilized Chat Icon ...I keep telling myself that its quality not quantity that matters but I was really hoping for more so if this doesnt take, we would have more to freeze- Trying to keep positive anf dhoping I have some good quality in the ones we have !!!...Anyone else have #'s similar to this ??

Re: Kinda bummed....

It's DEFINITELY QUALITY, not quantity. We had 17 on the day of retrieval, 14 were mature and out of that 6 fertilized. I am now 6 weeks pregnant with a singleton (I think) (we put back two but the first ultrasound showed one) and we were able to freeze the other 4.

No worries..it will all work out.

Good luck!

Re: Kinda bummed....

I had mine last week and was so bummed I couldn't even post to tell everyone... I had 16 er and only 7 were mature and only 5 fert with ISIC. We put back 2 8 celled and froze 3 8 celled.
I thought this was the worst news ever but I have composed myself and realized that we still have a chance.. and it nice to hear that some other people have some numbers like us.
We have to stay hopeful.

Re: Kinda bummed....

It's definitely quality over quantity. I had 28 eggs retrieved 18 fertilized only 2 made it to five day blasts (both implanted)...the rest died out. I now have a 3 month old DD though so the point of my story is it's definitely quality over quantity. I thought I would have more to freeze but no. Then there are others with less eggs and less fertilization but have enough to freeze. Good Luck and 4 is great!!!!Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Thanks guys...I appreciate all your positive vibes ....To answer the question re: ISCI- No, they were straight IVF.....Fortunately my DH has good #'s...I'm just trying to keep my fingers crossed that we have some "honor students" in my 4 embies ..the hardest part will be waiting till Tuesday to hear the quality- Im hoping maybe then I'll feel a little more confident Chat Icon...In general, with 4 embies, is it more likely that it would be a 3 day transfer in your experiences ???

Yes from what they told me if you only have a few they will do a 3dt. If you have more and they are great quality than they will do a 5 day.

Yes Chat Icon for both of us.
