About Me
I'm 37 and have been happily married since Sept. 2002. Ivan is truly my companion in life. Our TTC journey has felt like a never ending roller coaster ride. We had an ectopic PG in Dec. 04 and in April 05 found out my IF is due to tubal abnormality. We were told IVF was our only hope. July 05 we did IVF # 1 and it was a chemical PG. We did IVF # 2 in Oct. 05 and it was a BFN. In Jan. 06 we did a combined fresh and frozen embryo transfer and it was a BFN. We were determined not to give up our dream of having a baby. IVF # 4 was in April 06. The cycle worked like a charm and on December 20, 2006 we were blessed with Hannah and Matthew. |
Friday, October 28, 2005 Worst Fertilization Report
The embryologist called and it definitely was not what I was expecting to hear.
19 eggs retrieved 17 mature 2 fertilized ONLY 2 are fertilizing....I can't believe this. This just isn't good. He couldn't even come up with something positive to say because there is a possibility that these 2 won't make it. He mentioned my dr is going to call me about using the frozen blasts but I didn't want to do that. I'm numb...I don't know what to think, I don't know what to feel. There is no hope right now...no positive thoughts helping me go on. Update: I called the embryologist b/c with my shock I wasn't able to really ask questions. Right now the problem is unexplained. The sperm and eggs are not communicating....they don't know why. They are keeping the eggs that did not fertilize in the petri dish for another day to see if they will fertilize...maybe they are late bloomers who knows. I can only hope that the 2 that fertilized will start dividing. If tomorrow they are between 2-4 cell then that is a good sign and we might be able to do a transfer.
