Out of 11 eggs, only 6 were mature. All 6 were injected with a sperm(ICSI procedure) and only 3 fertilized. I'm shocked. I had hoped for better results than this. I suppose I should be grateful we even have 3 embies but my heart feels heavy and I feel sick to my stomach. I was so sure my weight loss and change in eating habits would improve our fertilization rate. Guess not.
I can't seem to stop sobbing over this. Chris is forever the optimist. I know all we need is one but it's hard to believe that after failing 2 previous IVF cycles, this one will be different. I'm not completely giving up on this cycle, but I'm finding it hard to be as positive as I was. Thank God I was off today and not at work. I would of had to leave early. I really wanted to put 4 embies back this time.
I asked the nurse about Assisted Hatching and she was going to mention it today at the IVF meeting this afternoon. My RE is on Friday when we will go for the ET providing our embies make it that far. I will ask her again about AH. It seems our track record makes us good candidates for it.
Please say some prayers and send some +++vibes to our 3 fighters in the lab. On a positive note, our embies have made it to day 3 without any issues in the past. The ones that fertilized had enough gusto to continue growing until transfer. One from the last cycle exceeded them all and made it to the freezer. Looks like that "frostie" will be hanging out in the freezer alone for a little longer.
