They got 10 eggs, 7 were mature and fertilized normally with ICSI. 2 were not mature enough and 1 was abnormal. We won't know anymore until we show up for the transfer on Wednesday.
I know this is a good number, but I have to be completely honest, I am a bit disappointed. I know, flame away....but its just that we did sooooo much more this cycle -evil Menopur, acupuncture, wheat grass, and at all the follie monitoring appointments they kept telling me how many more we will have this time around. I guess some of the follies didn't have eggs in them, and some were just too small.
I think also knowing its the same number as last time makes it difficult...10. And we all know how that cycle turned out.
The actual ER was quite awful. They could not find a vein for the IV and after 5 or 6 tries they finally gave me an intramuscular shot of Versid. When I woke up there was an IV in the spot where they've been taking blood every time. I think my vein needs a break. I have been in a lot more pain this time around, not sure what the cause may be.
Sorry for the negativity today. I guess I am just not feeling very positive. Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow.

I know you are a little bummed that its the same number as last time but remember- This round is a completely different attempt than last time. Just bc 10 didnt work last time doesnt mean it wont be your special number this time :) And dont ever worry about your negativity- I always worry on my blog too and then I realized- these are our lives and sometimes life sucks and we have to post some downers every once in a while (or for a long while in my case)haha Thinking of you and praying that 10 is your number :)
Sorry things didn't go better this time around. I don't think you have to feel bad about being disappointed...hell, this whole infertility thing is pretty disappointing all by itself.
Hoping for better things...and a better result for you this time around.
Hoping and praying this cycle turns out very differently than the last! ((HUGS))
Don't give up! They got 16 eggs at my first retrieval and 10 for my second. We had fewer fertilized for the 2nd cycle and only had 2 to put back. That's my twins now!
My doctor told me, "It's not about quantity, it's quality". Wait and see what they say today.
I get the negativity. My ER is tomorrow and I have a magic number in my head of what I want. I'm sure I'll be disappointed if we don't get that number and let me tell you that number is way more than I would ever transfer.
And then the weird thing is if it is too many I'll start getting worried too. W
hen I think of the women I know that got tons and tons of eggs their IVF's were BFNs.
It's really hard not to be negative and worried when you've spent the last few years being constantly disappointed.
I hope your 7 awesome fertilized embryos are rock stars.
I hope you and your vein are feeling better!
That's still a great number!! I'm pulling for you!
I hope you and your veins are feeling a little better :) I'll be praying for healthy & continuous growth for the eggs!!
Gah. I am so sorry that you are feeling crappy - I know the after ER letdown. I really, really hope that the menopur made a difference in the quality and that your embryos are going to be kicking some ass in your uterus soon.
im praying for. remember its about quality, not quantity. but the good news is 10 is still good quantity.
Hey, don't apologize for not being positive... it takes it out of you sometimes. I'm glad you had such a great fertilization rate. I'm crossing my fingers that there are some Someday children for you in those little embryos!

I am so sorry your ER was so horrible. I wish you the best of luck with your ET.
I completely understand your frustration, but try to remember...it only takes one good emby! Hang in there.
