So we caught break number 3 and it went well today, the director of the centre was in control of the speculum and the wonderful doctor who did my retrieval (and was so kind to me while I was crying afterwards) did the transfer. I was delighted to see her and she said she'd rung the lab yesterday to find out what had happened and was so happy to find out that we had fertilised googies. What a beautiful woman she is - a fantastic bedside manner.
I popped my head into the adjoining lab to enquire about cell numbers and fragmentation and we had one A-grade 3-cell 0% fragmentation zygote and one C-grade 2-cell less than 30% fragged zygote. That there is a picture of a three-celled embryo just like ours ... but is not ours because I forgot to tell the Big Guy to be prepared to take a picture and we were both so dumbstruck we neither of us thought to pull out cameras. D'oh.
Both zygotes were transferred upon the recommendation of the director. He said I will most likely not get pregnant, certainly it was incredibly unlikely for it to result in twins but with an overall 20% chance of pregnancy. Beta on 6th August. Can I stand the next two weeks?
I am PUPO (pregnant until proven otherwise) and on the upswing of the hope ride! And praying we catch break number 4 - a BFP in early August.(picture borrowed from EHD )
Best of luck! Hope the wait goes by quickly.
ReplyDeleteMy odds of pregnancy were far, far less than 20% on my last cycle (in my mind, close to 0%) -- I'm now 23 weeks pregnant with twins. As my RE said before the cycle, "Who knows? It might actually get you pregnant. Stranger things have happened."
Hoping and praying break #4 is on its way.
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic news.
ReplyDeleteI know you probably don't want to hear this, but I think it's good your Dr is being cautious and realistic.
Mine bounced into the transfer suite and told me what a fantastic day it was because I was about to get pregnant. It's a lot harder to come down from an expectation like that.
And hey, I'm following you, which is definitely in your favour. All the bloggers I follow get pregnant
YES! Congrats on being PUPO.
ReplyDeletegood luck...and ya never know. The first few days of PUPO are elating...enjoy it. :-)
ReplyDeleteWootie wootie woot woot!
ReplyDeleteThe next instalment of the rollercoaster. Beta on the 6th ... thinking delicious hopeful thoughts for you. XO

Good luck!
ReplyDeleteSending you so much love for your embies on board. I'll cross fingers and everything I can that they get snuggled in for a nice long wait.
ReplyDelete*HUGS*
Wishing you all the best and I hope it goes well for you. The wait is sooo hard.
ReplyDeleteOh! This is exciting. I hope that for Show and Tell in a couple weeks you will have something VERY exciting to share!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your PUPO and best wishes for a sticky couple of weeks. What a great result from 3 follicles! Well done!
ReplyDeleteMay you soon graduate from PUPO to BFP!
ReplyDeleteWow! Exciting. And as I like to think, 20% is far, far better than 0%, right?
ReplyDeleteGreat that things have gone way better than you first anticipated!
ReplyDeleteYay for being PUPO! Crossing my fingers for a bfp!
