Fertilization report

I got the dreaded call. Out of the 14 eggs retrieved, 7 were mature and 5 fertilized. While I'd like more, I'm still pretty happy with 5. I mean, last time I had 2 so this is more than double the number to play with.

So, transfer is on Thursday. I may transfer all 5 if they let me. I mean, I've had 12 transferred up to now and none of those have stuck, so why not go for broke?

Well, you KNOW I'm a fan of 5.
;)
My doctor's pretty conservative, and he let me transfer all five, based on my previous record, so hopefully they'll let you go for it, if that's what you want to do.
I know it's a difficult decision to decide how many to transfer, so if you have any questions or just want to bounce some thoughts off of me, feel free to call.
Congratulations again, 5 is a GREAT number.

5 is GREAT - that's an above average fertilization rate, (71.4%, usually 55% is good) so excellent news!

Fingers crossed that they continue to develop beautifully in the coming days.

That's FABULOUS!!!

You're almost on your way to your very own "Jackson 5". (rotfl... I couldn't resist)

Very exciting, and you would think one of those little buggers would have the good embie manners to implant and grow, right?

Best of luck,
