Sorry about the absence - have just moved house (we moved Sunday, the day after EPU - oh what fun that was!) and things have been pretty hectic around here (as well as only just getting internet happening again). So, update on my embies - 7 eggs were collected, 5 mature and able to be injected, 3 fertilised, all 3 behaved themselves very well and were dividing nicely and are now frozen for my next cycle. I honestly didn't know how to feel about it all. The cycle felt up and down and all over the place. I wasn't expecting 7 eggs to be collected so I was pleasantly surprised but then pretty deflated again when I heard that only 3 had fertilised. One thing that made me feel better was that we had called off PGD due to low follicle numbers and that was clearly a good decision as 3 embryos just wouldn't feel like a great PGD number, if that makes any sense (that darn nurse's voice still in my head - 'you guys just keep losing numbers, don't you?'...ugh). So, the next thing for me is that I am obviously hanging out to do my next cycle and actually have an opportunity for a transfer. It has been an odd/kinda sad feeling just letting this cycle go and not even having a chance of transfer (although still very grateful for 3 embies waiting). I have spoken to one of the clinic nurses and will find out this week if there is any chance my FS will consider doing back-to-back cycles. *Fingers crossed* Anyone have any experience with that?
Sunbeam - Yay! Yay! Yay! I was so happy to read about your EPU and your updates - I hope those little embies are behaving themselves and growing nicely for biopsy (and healthy, happy transfer!!). I will be checking in tomorrow for updates - can't wait to hear the good news! *Everything crossed for you*
J.Bear - Wonderful news! What an amazing sight that must have been! Relax and look after yourself and that precious little baby!
Andie, Minnie - How great that it looks like you will be cycle buddies - good luck to you both! Can't wait to hear all of your cycle updates.
b*f - Zennnnnnnn... Best of luck for this week, sweetie!
