More like 5
So they called today and said we had 7 and that we are having a 3 day transfer. I was suprised because I was told that as long as we had 5 we would be able to wait until Monday. I called and inquired and they made the decision because 2 look like they aren't going to make it. It is scary how the numbers are dwindling away. Now I am wondering if we will have any frosties after all. At this moment I can seriously understand why octomom put all of her embies in. I want to transfer all 7 of mine and I know that it isn't rational but I seriously wish I could. I know that it is dangerous and it is illogical it is just that I can't handle any more loss. Seriously, how do you go from 16 eggs to potentially 5 embryos, it is so scary!

It sucks, but it happens. I think at my last retrieval we had 15 eggs. I can't remember how many fertilized. On day three we had nine embryos. We did a five day transfer. We transfered one and only had two to freeze. I'm hoping everything works out this time for you! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI hope everything works out for you and you can have a successful transfer!!
ReplyDeleteIVF is such a crazy whirlwind of a rollercoaster! Hang in there, and good luck with the transfer!!!
ReplyDeleteIt happens. Out of my 10 that fertilized (out of 14), only 5 make it to a day 5 transfer. I know it feels like a lot, but I guess it's normal.
ReplyDeleteKeep your chin up and have faith.
ugh I hate this part. It is scary so hang in there. I am hoping you have good ones to transfer and try to remember that success rates are the same day 3 and day 5. Good luck to you.
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies you are the best!!!
ReplyDeleteWhew...just breathe. This is absolutely a crazy ride....and I get how you'd understand Octomom's line of thinking at this moment, too. We're here!
