Grow embie grow!

Yesterday morning was my transfer. We only had one to put in, as none of the other 6 mature eggs fertilized. Fortunately, it looked great! The RE thought it was best to get it back inside me asap, so we did a 2 day transfer. Anyone else out there with a 2 day tranfer?

We are staying focused on this ...

Hi Ladies,

The RE called this morning with the report: Of the 11 eggs, they took 7 for ICSI and 4 to fertilize naturally. Of the 7 ICSI, only 2 were mature. Neither of those eggs fertilized. Of the other 4, only 1 fertilized.

On the plus side, the one emby we have looks great. Transfer is going ...

E/T Done

Hi everyone,

I had my E/R this morning. The worst part was being laying on the table wide awake with my legs splayed open strapped in strange boot-things. Luckily, I fell asleep before just before they began. I have been laying in bed all day, resting. It's actually not as bad as I was ...

Hi Ladies,

I had my first check since starting STIMs 5 days ago, and unfortunately had a disappointing visit. I only have 7 small follies on the left side and only 2 on the right. After the ultrasound and bloodwork, which slowed low estradol levels (145), they doubled my follistim and menopur ...
