not great numbers.
8 eggs. for me, that's a tiny number. I had lots of follicules, but only 8 eggs. Last cycle it was at least 18 (can't find my numbers) and the one before was 24. I know it's QUALITY, not QUANTITY - but shit.
Embryologist just called. Only 5 were mature. 4 fertilized.
4 years ago -- when they called me only 3 were ok. (2 made it up to blastocyst after for a total of 5). I was extatic --> we created life. Not only did we have embroyos -- we ended up with twins.
This time, these numbers are making me cry.
The embryologist said there was a tiny tiny chance of an emergency 2 day transfer. I didn't even know such a thing existed. Otherwise, it's a day 3 transfer on Tuesday.
On good news -- they got enough sperm from my husband to freeze. After THREE TESAs - it's the first time they have enough to freeze.
now, i have to find a way to suck it up, stop crying and get back to my nearly zen-like state. Cause either way -- whatever happens to these 4 embryos will happen, if i'm crying about it or not.
The retrieval went fine. Other than being tender, i'm ok. Last retrieval I threw up for DAYS on end.
FINGERS (and-everything-else) CROSSED!!!

Seeing the numbers go down over the cycles is not very uplifting indeed.
The good thing is that it isn't showing in the number of embryos - or am I reading your post wrong?
Let your emotions out. Crying actually lets stress hormones flow out of your body, scientists recently found out.
Fingers crossed!
