Our journey in becoming first time parents, in my slightly incoherent words

Tag Archives: embryo

  • 15 eggs retrieved 
  • 10 mature 
  • 7 fertilized with ICSI

Day 3 is Monday, I will get another report then. I am throwing the idea around of holding off the transfer to next cycle or say 5 with assisted hatching. My RE is in the office Monday and I will discuss this with him. But I want to make sure my estrogen levels aren’t too high. 

Comments welcome on your thoughts…

3 day transfer?

5 day transfer?

Freeze all? 


8dp3dt and this morning I had to go back to bed because I had such bad cramps…. I took a Tylenol and went to work. I’m not stressing out because this is Gods plan. M on the other hand didn’t want me to go to work or get out of bed. I’m felt fine in the afternoon and evening…

Did anyone else experience period like cramps 8dp3dt and get a BFP?

(I’m not googling, if no one comments then it isn’t for me to know…)

Love C xoxo


Fertilization rate is as follows:

  1. 7 were great quality and injected via ICSI an acronym for intracytoplasmic sperm injection –>A fancy way of saying “inject sperm into egg”
  2. THREE have been fertilized, and embryo transfer MONDAY – only thing is M has work and can’t go with me… plus I miss 2 more days of work…

I have to keep remembering that this is our chance to get pregnant and work will always be there, my fertility window is slim. Family first!

Understanding Embryo Development


Last night I slept fine, but at 7:30 I was wide awake and very sore. I have 2 heat packs and I want to go but a an electrical one so I don’t have to get up and put these in the microwave. Its a beautiful sunny September day and I imagine DH has better things to do than laze on the couch with me all day.

I have a multitude of beverages:

Hopefully I will be able to look at a couple condos with DH tomorrow since we are looking to buy a 2 bedroom + den. We currently live in a one bedroom and its too tight, he needs an office and we will need a baby room… next year, god willing!

Love & Light xoxo
