IVF #2: Fertilization Report

We started with 14 eggs yesterday.  Well, actually, on Monday, we started with 9 follicles over 10mm and a few smaller ones that probably wouldn't catch up to produce mature eggs, even if they were aspirated at retrieval.  Okay.  14 eggs at retrieval.  Not sure how many were mature.  Today we have 8 that fertilized.

14 eggs --> 8 fertilized --> how many day five blasts???

We won't get an update or know if we will proceed with CCS or a transfer until Monday morning.

Visualize a number greater than or equal to FOUR.

That's awesome...you must be so happy! I can imagine that this weekend will be nerve-wracking!

I'll visualize 6 for you, because then that will give you lucky 7 to test. :)

8 is a great number. I agree with others on visualizing 6 (((visualizing s-i-x or more)))
