Try not to worry too much about it taking longer this time round.... my FS explained that in our category (ICSI with me being ok) that we just have to wait for the right fertilized egg to come along. The nurses also advised that they see allot of couples get it 1st go 1st time round and then it takes a few the next so all sounding normal for you and I think your little eggies will still be good to go!
I really do think the change in our lifestyle had allot to do with our success on the third transfer. It was actually our 2nd stim cycle and we got a much better result than our 1st stim. With the 1st stim, we got 19 eggs, fertilized 12, however by day 5 we had 1 blast to transfer and 2 for the freezer. The 1st transfer did not work so we had a FET, where 1 egg did not survive the de-freeze and the other was transferred with a BFN result.
On the second stim with the lifestyle changes, we got 27 eggs, fertilised 14, and by day 5 transferred 2 x Blasts and froze 5 eggs. My FS explained that from day 1-4ish the egg does all the fertilization work and from day 4ish the sperm takes over. We lost the majority of our eggs on the 1st stim from approx. day 3-4-5 and yet on the 2nd stim we must have had stronger/ better quality sperm as 7 made it to blast (2 transferred and 5 frozen).
Another things was that I knew we were doing everything we possibly could to make this one a success and I think that it really helped to take the pressure off both of us and our attitude became what will be will be (although I still went crazy during the 2WW as you do, he, he!)
Sorry for the mammoth post!
