Fertilization Report II: Still In The Game
Well, we just got a call from the nurse about a half an hour ago (and I was very happy not to hear the doctor’s voice again this morning) and she said that they were able to fertilize 5 embies, so my transfer will be on Monday.
We had her on speaker phone, and when we heard the news, Nadia pumped her first in the air. I was in shock. I’m still in shock. I really don’t understand how they were able to mature the eggs a day after the retrieval and fertilize them but I will step out on faith that they actually know what they are doing at this clinic.But it’s hard to know what to think or feel from one moment to the next.
There are so many twists and turns to this plot!
I tried to grill the nurse for more information but she was so matter of fact. I told her that I wanted to make sure that if I took off another day from work on Monday that I would actually have something to transfer. She gave me a rote response, stating, “we’ll call you if anything changes.”
“Okay, thanks,” I said nervously.
But, most importantly, thanks for support. Most of your comments make me cry. The blogospherse is a great place.
awesome news!!! i’ve been following along…and that is just great! fingers crossed for monday.

1i’ve been reading about various ivf procedures, and supposedly them maturing immature eggs is on the cutting edge and has great results. please know that we are over here rooting for you too!
2that is GREAT news… we were surprised ourselves when some of dakota’s eggs were better later in the reports than they had been the first day. the ”not mature” ones fertilized and some that had been lower rated became higher rated as time progressed… you never know.
i am thrilled that you are on track to transfer monday!

12It’s all a roller coaster, isnt’ it?! I’m super excited for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn, you deserve it.
13I told you so!!!
You are not now nor were you ever stupid.
Remember Dr. Feelgood said maybe I had “just a bad batch of eggs” the cycle that worked for me? I had a little feeling about those other eggs. Now. We need one strong contender to stick it through to the end. Fingers, toes and intestines crossed.
14Hooray! I’ve been following your blog for a while now and especially since I found out I’ll be doing the Estrogen Priming Protocol of IVF for my next cycle. I’m so happy for you that you have 5 embies at this point – what a dream! I really hope you get you bean(s) this time – you’ve been through so much and deserve it times a million. Sending you super continuing fert vibe and super ET vibes! I will keep tracking with baited breath!
15you have so many cliff hangers!! this is totally awesome news though! i have everything tightly crossed for you! this HAS to have a good ending!
16Thrilled they had better news for you today.
17So, so, so happy to hear it.
18Sending you some good transfer vibes!
19I’m really happy for you. I know all too well the sinking feeling that comes when the doctor (or in my case, the IVF coordinator), starts with those words. Hope the transfer goes well and that this is the cycle for you!
20Here from LFCA. That’s excellent news. Best wishes for your transfer, and I hope the rest make it to freeze!
