Well, we’ve just finished up our 4th round of IVF.
This cycle, I responded to the meds the best. Which means, lots of great eggs but too much of a risk to do a fresh transfer. So, we froze everything. Again.
They were able to retrieve 41 eggs (WOW). Out of those, 36 were mature and 23 took to fertilization. The DR opted to freeze all 23 embryos at a VERY early stage. This way, when they are defrosted, the DR will watch them divide for a few days, and pick the best of the best. We are hoping that at least 10 will survive and thrive into transferable embryos. (Confusing, yes.)
Which means our final count is 23 very early embryos frozen, 2 great quality established embryos frozen, and 2 very low quality embryos frozen. This should get us our family, right? :-) Let’s hope.
While doing all the daily monitoring, the DR found a polyp in my uterus. So, I go in for surgery on Oct 13th to have that removed. After that, we go on the birth control pill for a month (which gives the DR’s control of my cycle) then the transfer will probably be in early January. I promise to update more often around that time. It’s just been a very busy past couple months.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, they do not go unnoticed. Love you all!
