Survivor IVF, season 2

Let me recap least season for you.


Day 1: We started with 12, 1 did not survive, 2 were polyspermatic, 3 may not have been fertilized, 6 were doing good.

Day 2: 8 were at 2-4 cells, 1 at 6 cells

Day 3: 1 was abnormal, 1 at 10 cells, 7 were about average.
In the end we implanted a B and D, none could be frozen.

So, this season here's the summary.

Day 1: we started with 20 (woohoo). 4 were polyspermatic, 4 did not fertilize, 1 was immature. 11 were good to go.

Day 2: 5 were at 4 cells (awesome), 2 were at 5 cells (awesome), 3 were at 6 cells (awesome). One little burnout was at 9 cells (not awesome, grew to fast).

Day 3: little burn out hadn't changed (chill out dude!), 2 are at 11 cells, 6 are at 8 cells, 1 at 7 cells, and 1 at 6 cells.

The 6 at 8 cells are our first stringers. They look really good.

Both Mo and I have a good feeling about this cycle. It just feels like things are going the way they should and the odds look good. Implantation will be Tuesday at 1pm. Then begins the dreaded 2 week wait. We will do a home test about 10-11 days after implantation.

Part of me dreads the home test. Getting another negative will just cripple me emotionally. But at the same time, I'll have to know. With luck, some of the eggs will be good enough to freeze so that if it doesn't work again, we won't have to do the whole process over again.

  1. Aw, I feel bad for the Day 2 overachiever. :[ I mean, that's very Medders of him and all, but yes: chill out, little guy!

    I really, really hope that you guys are able to freeze some this time. But I have a really good feeling about this cycle, too.
