Emerald Star, mitf and Loops - thanks so much for your kind words. And mitf, yes I absolutely think my ovaries were bursting. I still feel bloated now, but nurse said I could feel like this for a couple of weeks!! Oh well, hopefully it's all worth it.
Anyway, just a very quick update as I have heaps to do. So I'm just popping in with my fertilisation results:
Of the 34 eggs they collected, 33 were good enough for injection (ICSI).
Of those 33 eggs injected through ICSI:
- 29 have definitely fertilised
- 1 more possibly fertilised (this one's a bit slower - was probably one of the last ones to be injected)
- 1 didn't fertilise at all
- 2 were degraded
Not sure what the degraded thing means, but I'm not really worried about it. Because out of a total of 34 eggs, we have 29 fertilised!!!! Yippeee (plus 1 more maybe).
So I'm really happy with these results. I am keeping my fingers crossed that we get a really good number that make it to blastie stage, and that they're good quality too. Because that's a thing that I worry about a bit... the fact that I had so many eggs, that maybe there might be a lot that aren't very good quality. But only time will tell, and I'm definitely keeping my positive hat on.
Sorry girls, gotta rush. Will check in again soon.
