I was lying in bed this morning when my phone rang. The embryology lab.was calling.me.
She told me that out of the eight eggs retrieved, only two were mature. Only one egg fertilized with the ICSI. He/she is currently 2-cells.
What??
BUT!
She then went on to say that three more matured since then, so they did ICSI on those yesterday. They are growing a day behind, but they are still growing. I will get another report Wednesday and we will possibly do a 5-day transfer on Thursday, or they will wait another day to see how the other three are growing.
We have four.
My four babies. This is unreal. I can’t believe this is happening. Chris and I need prayers/tiki dances/happy thoughts that these little ones continue to grow.
Holy shit. This was Toby’s face when I told him.
YAY!! Lots of good thoughts, happy dances and anything awesome I can possibly throw your way!
Geez, Risa. You sure do live the roller coaster life… crazy lows, crazy highs! I'm so thankful the other three matured and fertilized successfully! Lots of prayers for you and your FOUR embryos! Congrats on the great news!
YAY!! That is awesome!! Praying for excellent growth!!
Praying that things keep progressing! So very exciting!
This is great, great news!! Sending nothing but positive vibes your way!
What a roller coaster ride. Sheesh! Hoping that your 4 keep growing and your baby gets transferred with some frosties as well.
Great news!! Praying for those 4 little embies!! Exciting!!
That sounds like great news to me! I will pray for all 6 of you! 🙂
So glad for a positive update! Fingers still crossed!
Sososo many prayers and buckets of positive vibes!!!!
Great news!!! Prayers coming your way. Grow, little ones, grow!
Praying for all the little embies, and especially for the slower ones to catch up. We also had a delayed ICSI (what I call DICSI!) for one of our cycles. Hoping for good news!
Woo hoo!! My frozen embryo decided that it would be a slow grower as well so that is great news!
praying, crossing my fingers, knocking on wood, ANYTHING! come on fabulous 4!!!! grow grow grow!
It's definitely been a roller-coaster. It seems like there is always something. But at least I have my four embies to focus on. Getting them here was half the battle.
wooo hooo for FOUR!! That is so cool that the other 3 matured. Ivf is such a trip. You are soooo in my prayers!! Rooting for you!
Happy thoughts, happy vibes!!! I shall light a candle for you lovey.
Sending lots of good growing vibes your way!
So awesome that they continued to watch the immature eggs and you got three more out of the bunch! Yay for four growing embryos!! I will be praying for you, and your babies!

Thanks! It is a strange thing, to know three of your four are a day behind. Makes me wonder if I will end up with a 5 day transfer, or if it will be longer.
Heaps of happy, positive thoughts heading your way, lovely. Come on, babies, grow!
ICLW here! Thank you for your comments! That's awesome that you have 4 growing eggs! Fingers crossed for continued growth and maturation! How exciting is it that you could be testing positive within just a few weeks? Yay!
I'm not sure how I missed this! Praying for you, Chris and your embies!!! Praying they keep growing and are very sticky tomorrow or Friday!!
