So we got a total of 17 eggs. Out of those 14 were mature enough for ICSI.
Now for the amount that fertilized.....
Bearing in mind it's normally a 70% fertilization rate
Drum roll please..........
100% FERTILIZATION. Yay. Wahoo. Woopee !!!!
We were so happy, well actually ecstatic with the result. The lab have decided we will go for a 5 day transfer to blastocyst stage. This will mean a greater chance of pregnancy as they will be able to select the best embryo to transfer. There is the chance we can lose 50% or more by doing this but we want to give the lab the best chance of finding the right one. Plus, of course we are just going by what they recommend!
The lab called first thing in the morning the day after the transfer and then called again yesterday to confirm all embryos were dividing nicely. Normally by day 2 they can start to see signs of some slowing down or stopping but as the scientist said - mine are lovely embryo's.
Transfer will be Monday morning at 11.30am.
