I had my egg retrieval yesterday and they retrieved 21 eggs. Got my first call this morning and 11 fertilized normally..3 were abnormal and I'm guessing the rest did not fertilize..is 11 a good number for the first day? Thanks all ❤❤

Yes - 11 is a good number! Hoping you have at least half of those make it to Day 5!!

Thank you! They called back today for my report of day 2! I actually had 12 embryos one was a little slower catching up and she said all 11/12 are still good!! I was very surprised

Fabulous! That's very exciting. Fingers crossed you receive another good report tomorrow!

Hope they keep progressing nicely :)

7 of them are dividing nicely the others are a little slower! This was my day 3 update! Thank you all for the support

Great! 7 is wonderful! But slow doesn't mean they won't make it. Slow and steady wins the race, right? Cheering them on!

Awesome news. Good luck thanks for the updates. As far as the icing of your targets. I do it on the side that I am not injecting that night and couple hours before. My bruises & nodules are killing me. 17 more days! That will be a total of 99 shots with all 3 cycles! Baby dust for your embryos!

7 is a good number, how many will you transfer? Are you doing a five day transfer?

lalalax88 03/21/2017

Yes doing a 5 day transfer and I believe only transferring one. My doc seemed pretty against doing 2 unless for some reason this time doesn't work then she may allow it. My transfer is tomrrow morning and I don't think it has hit me yet..I lost my beloved cat Sunday night suddenly and I'm still mourning..I think maybe tomorrow I will realize this is really happening!!

Wow, that is amazing!!! Yes, that is a fantastic number! Way to go, little momma! XO
Sending you lots of luck and baby dust for tomorrow! We have our first ultrasound to see little peanut on his/her first on-screen debut next Monday, so exciting week for us both! So happy for you! It is great that you are doing a 5-day transfer. Wishing you much success! Try to just rest and take care of you afterward, the waiting will be the hardest part! Rooting for you!!

lalalax88 03/21/2017

Thank you so much!! Good luck to you as well! That is so exciting the first ultrasound!!! Yay!

Thisistoohard 03/21/2017

Good luck tomorrow! Very exciting! And yes - rest and take care of yourself. Also, I'm terribly sorry to hear about your kitty. :-( Hang in there.

MaizyDottie 03/22/2017
