And I'm second....

Just got back from Sydney. Very tired but also happy, although the full reality has yet to sink in as the brain is still a bit foggy.

We got 4 eggs - YAY! One from each of the follies. That has been our best result yet (previously have only got 1 egg) and on about half the dose of FSH as previous cycles and only 10 days worth! Now we start the waiting game again to hear tomorrow about fert rates etc. We still don't know whether we are doing a day 3 transfer or blastie and to be honest, no-one has really spoken to us about that. The only info I have is from what BW told me (thanks BW ) so we really are putting our trust in the people at NGF.

Anyway, only a short post. I need to rest. I will pop back when I have more news and will hopefully be up to personals. Take care all.

all sounding fantastic so far for both of you!

Chez - rest up hunny! a big trip like that after EPU is very tiring (and mine is only about half what yours has been!)

Thanks BG - I am tearing myself away from BB now - I had so much to catch up on in the last 2 days! Time for my DF to take care of me, although the poor pet is a bit tired having to do all the driving home by himself.

Chez, make sure you ask the scientist when they call tomorrow. They usually call around 10ish... and my theory that the worse the news is, the later the call is usually holds. Calls at 12 have revealed thaw disasters, while the call after 11 revealed absolutely CRAP fertilisation rates. When they called me on the Sunday (day 2), they demanded a decision on blastocyst or day three then and there, which I really wasn't prepared for. Was the $600 blastocyst culture fee included in your cycle fee? Either way, ask the scientist what they suggest on Saturday - but they will probably give you the spiel about if it doesn't make it to blast in the lab it was never going to get you pregnant anyay... but I'm not sure I believe that now.

Sonya, good luck with the blast culture. With five embryos all progressing you're in a pretty good place for it.
