For anyone who has had a BFP and a BFN, did you know? I keep thinking I would somehow "feel" pregnant, but I so completely don't. I am so completely symptomless. I only have a mild pain in my rear from the shots. I'm trying to keep the dream alive until Wednesday for my beta, but it's getting really...

In case anyone was curious:

12 x mature eggs
9 x fertilized
8 x 3-day
4 x 5-day

And now I wait....

Thanks for the responses everyone.

I had 12 x mature eggs --> 9 x fertilized --> 8 x 3-day embies, but I forgot to ask what they looked like. I guess right now it is what it is whatever it is and I'll just hope it all works out in the end.

I got a call this morning that I will be doing a 5 day transfer. At first I was really excited, but then I started to wonder what percentage of embies that make it from day 3 to day 5 on average. I can't seem to find this anywhere. Anyone know this? Or have your own information to share? Just curiou...

Sorry for butting in, but I stop in every now and then to see how all the Sept / Oct ladies that are here are doing. claud662 - For cell fertilization information, I'd go here: http://www.advancedfertility.com/embryos.htm If you scroll to the bottom, there is a day by day picture what your embies sh...

Stupid question... if you ignore either the first or second beta, do the numbers look very nice? Perhaps the lab made a mistake. It doesn't occur often, but we are human.

I think I remember reading that ICSI can fracture eggs.

The General Forum has an Over 40 Thread. There are a lot of happy sucess stories there.

Was looking at the new clinics website and they do far more tests than my clinic before they consider doing ivf and one of them is for auto immune profile, i havent a clue what any of this means but if there was a prob. would that mean i couldnt carry or just would be better off with donor? Gi - *B...

Kala and Jaydentd - Grats on the +HPT. Lisa - OMG. I'm keeping IVF from work and family as well. I'm saying a prayer for your embies, your sanity, and your privacy. I can just imagine the stress of all that. Just thinking about that makes my stomach churn. Hang in there. (P.S. Your DH sounds very u...
