Jaki, they say 3rd time's a charm yeah? Good luck for this cycle!!!

My blood test is tomorrow and I'm still feeling very positive about things. My hpt's are still getting darker

My PGD results were quite a shock this cycle as well. Of our 21 eggs, 20 were injected with sperm, 11 fertilised, and 10 survived and were suitable for biopsy. Of the 10 we had one precious little healthy embryo suitable for transfer! Seven all had chromosome problems. Two they were unable to get results for because the cells they took had no nuclei and therefore no chromosomes to look at. One of those embies was only 5 cells, so they only took one cell from it (and found no nuclei). The other one was bigger so they went back and took another cell, and it also had no nucleus. The scientist I spoke to said that was rather rare to have two embies like that. What she said was even more surprising was when they biospied one of the other embies, the first cell they took had no nucleus too! They were able to take a 2nd cell from that embie and she said the results were extremely odd. It had two X chromosome, two Y chromosomes, and a large number of the other chromosomes either had 3 or 4 copies.

With results like what we've gotten from both my cycles, it makes me realise what an absolute miracle it is that we were even able to conceive our beautiful little boy naturally. Now hopefully he's going to be the big brother of another miracle!
