Good news and bad news...

foxangels · 03-01-2005, 02:27 PM

Well the good news is I had 10 good eggs

-the bad news is only 1 fertilized

. Only 1!!!! I am sooo disappointed w/this-dh didnt have too many good swimmers this time around. So now we will wait until 2moro to see how our 1 embie does,if it makes it,if it continues to grow. There is also the possibility of using 1 frozen embie for this transfer if the one doesnt make it or if we want to tranfer 2. I am sooo confused-what do we do now???

Kim,

I'm so sorry hun!!!! I'm glad to hear you have some frozen embies so this cycle won't be a blow out. Keep us informed and I'll be praying that the little embie keeps growing!

Hugs,
Tricia

oh Kim,

i've been checking on and off today to see if you updated-I wish your news was better...

however, I am glad you have options- Are you hoping for a day 3 transfer? how many frozen embies do you have? Are you comfortable transferring one? Would you prefer to transfer 2? You don't have to answer me--these r just the questions that are going through my head right now...

Remember, these embryos work like the "power ball" lottery. What happens with one has no bearing on what happens with the next. Having 9 not fertilize doesn't have any bearing on the one that did.

So-do you want opinions or support? I will give you either--or both.

Kim-
I'm sorry you didn't have more fertilized eggs

But at least you do have options with the frozen embies

Good Luck with whatever you decide! When is transfer?

Deb

OK-I think I need both ideas/options and support here,anything-I am leaning towards just transferring the 1 good embie we have now and save my frozen embies for the future(either if ivf/icsi doesnt work or for a future child).If so the transfer will be on Thursday,if we use the frozen embies it looks like Saturday. I am just sooo scared of running out of options/chances at ttc and bringing home a lc.

DH's numbers have been getting worse each time-we're running out of insurance(in NJ the law is insurance must cover a max of 4 cycles-this is my 3rd) and I feel I'm getting too "old"-thats because they only got 10 eggs this time as opposed to 15 that I got last time. I dont really know what to think anymore!! I was so optimistic about this cycle-things were going so well up until now. Like April said this whole thing is like the powerball-and you know what I am just not lucky at all!!!

kathrynlee · 03-02-2005, 01:26 PM

Oh no!! I am sorry you didn't get the news you wanted. I hate that!

Now, if you feel like only putting back one then do it. You can always use your frozen embries any time. AND I don't think getting 10eggs this time has anything to do with your age. I did two cycles back to back and got totally different numbers both times.

Can you unfreeze one and put it and the new embre back at the same time? If not then I would just put back the one embre and hope for the best. You can always unfreeze the others next month.

AND I wouldn't worry about it yet if you don't have to. I hate to say it but the decision might be made for you. The one embree might not make it and then you will know what to do. I try to remind myself not to worry about things until I have to. Otherwise I worried for nothing.

I am sorry that it all ended up this way but that one embre might be the only one you need!

HUGs,
Kathryn

Thanks everyone!!!

DH and I have decided to put the 1 embie back only this time. I am OK with it,I've made my peace with it. The RE's called today and said it looks real good(up to 4 cells today) and they think the one s/b fine. I think so too.

I was very disappointed at first about not having more options, you know-not having 1 more to transfer(we were only transfrng 2 max),and not having any to bank. But I am not hopeless yet!! IF this doesnt work,(and I am not going to be negative), I still have 1 more fresh round (that's covered by ins) and 5 frozen-so all my options are not totally exhausted yet. Like I said I was disappointed at first,but I am over it. If it works great-if not,oh well back to the drawing board!! I may get upset,but I'll get over it soon enough- Right!!! Nothing ever comes easy for us I swear!!

I'm kinda going along with what Kathryn said-maybe the one is all I need!!!! Transfer is tomorrow!

Thanks again guys!!!!!!!!
