[sarahincanada]

oh thats 5 hours, what to do to make the time fly?

Im sitting watching tv with the phone by me!! maury povich is on right now, not much good tv in the morning!

 

[sarahincanada]

OMG out of the 20 eggs all were mature and so they injected all 20, and right now 19 have developed into embryos. Im in shock! Im sure that number will drop drastically over the week, but its a great number to start with and i didnt expect that on the sheet they gave me it said only up to 30% of embryos make it to blastocyst. I cant get too excited yet just incase they dont continue, but so far so good!

OMG Sarah this is wonderful sweety, I am so happy for you you so deserve this

I love your siggy, so informative, Im so glad I understand it

 

[GreenFingers]

OMG OMG OMG amazing...i am so pleased for you. 30% of 19 is still a fantastic number of blastocysts, i take it you will be have a 5 day transfer.

I have everything crossed for the next few days....come on little embryo's

[sarahincanada]

thanks ladies! it made yesterday all worth it. Im still worried that all of them will stop growing or something but surely there will be a couple of good ones in there

 

[LLbean]

thanks ladies! it made yesterday all worth it. Im still worried that all of them will stop growing or something but surely there will be a couple of good ones in there

so have you decided? will you transfer 2?

 

[GreenFingers]

Yes good question......????

 

[sarahincanada]

i take it you will be have a 5 day transfer.

yes she said they will call tomorrow and let me know. yesterday the nurse made it seem like they have everyone come in on day 3 regardless, to make the decision together, rather than on the phone. but this nurse that phoned said if a high number continue I wouldnt need to come in so we will see. hubby is off on wednesday and friday just incase!

so have you decided? will you transfer 2?

everyone around me is saying to do 2! I guess I will see how many blastocysts I will have and the quality. some of me just wants to do one at a time... carrying and having twins worries me now thats its more of a reality. I will have to see....if I have lots theres a good chance some of them will freeze and thaw ok so I might take my time. If I only have 2-3 I will probably transfer 2.

is it weird to not want too many embryos? as I would feel bad not using them. but I think nature will take its course and I definitely wont have 19 blastocysts!

 

[dachsundmom]

Sarah, the most important thing about all of this is your comfort level; no one can predict the odds of what might happen later, so you have to make the decision that is best for you right now.

I know what you are saying ....a friend of mine had to freeze some as well and ended up throwing them away later and felt awful. She only has one boy and always wonders now if the girl may have been on the other bunch, but she separated from her husband so she didn't want to keep paying for them to stay frozen after that.

It's a hard thing I tell you, plus you never know if they all survive the thawing either...ugh

Do they do genetic testing on them there?

But yes, you should have a WONDERFUL outcome with this many eggs. Keeping a good thought for you and those sticky beans!

thanks LL perhaps me starting the high absorbing coq10 a month ago helped and will help you when you try again

they do not do genetic testing here. So wild to wonder how many of the 19 will be good or bad. I felt a rush of happiness when they told me, but Im still being cautious as they could all stop at anytime. have you come across people who have numbers like these and lots keep going? theres one girl in the assisted folder who had 20 eggs, 17 mature and 14 embryos...she had 2 put back in and waiting to see how many can be frozen. but she is 10 years younger!

 

[NorthStar]

Wow Sarah congratulations on that great outcome - 19 embryos that is amazing

 

[LLbean]

Sarah, I think you will do perfectly

 

[crystal443]
