Lucky # 5

6 eggs ICSI'd
5 fertilized normally

The embryologist seems happy. She said everything looks great so far. Now I've gotta wait to see how many keep dividing - more news arrives tomorrow. I forgot how awful it is to wait this out! Thank God I'm reading a good book and am going back to work tomorrow. :)

I'm gonna do my best to stay positive. I said all along that I wanted less embryos, but lower E2 levels. Well, that's what I got...so giddy up!

And really, ladies, you have no idea how much all of your comments mean to me. Well, actually you probably do. :) That's what makes you all so special. I'll keep you posted once I know more.

Oh yeah, and on a Roulette wheel, the number 5 is RED!

  7. Yay for five! Hey, even though I had a lot more eggs I still only had 8 fertilize so clearly more isn't better. That's a fabulous fertilization rate!
