Hi Sara - it sounds like you and hubby have had an awful time so far! I didn't have work or exams to deal with on our icsi/ivf cycle but I did have a lot of fogginess, I couldn't even form proper sentences half the time and I found it very unsettling not feeling like my brain was functioning properly! It cleared up really quickly though after opu so hopefully yours will too.

My hubby and I had lots of issues too with the number of eggs we fertilised, I spoke to our FS about them and he totally understood and was very accommodating, and was happy for us to decide how many. Our first two goes we didn't have to make many decisions as we only ended up with a few eggs (2 - none made it, then 3 none fertilised). I'm so sorry your clinic has not been more understanding, you have some big decisions to make and ultimately it is your decision. If it helps we had 16 follicles, 13 eggs, 7 fertilised, and only 2 grew to be 5 day old blasts (we had both transferred, bfp, but ectopic). I grilled the nurses and scientists for ages to find out how often peoples initial egg counts related to how many embryos they had left. I guess its also different depending on what day they want you to transfer. We didn't decide how many eggs to fertilise until after we were back in the clinic and saw how many eggs we actually had.

Oneday, I'm so sorry to hear you're not sure what's happening at the moment, sending hugs.

Nikki, wishing you all the best for your cycle.
