Waiting for the Fertilisation Report

Even though I was really groggy and tired after yesterday, I couldn't sleep. So many things were swimming around in my mind, such as were the three eggs all viable, how many will fertilise, and what will we do if this is the end of cycle 5!

In the morning while waiting for the call, I nearly drove myself mad playing out telephone conversations with the embryologist in my mind:

"Hello this is the embryologist, I've good news! Did they tell you how many eggs you got yesterday? Yes that's correct, three, and all three/two/one/none (delete as appropriate) have fertilised!"

or

"Hello this is the embryologist, great news - all your eggs have fertilised and split into many so you have loads!"

The actual call came around 10.30am and as soon as I answered, I found myself listening to the inflections in the embryologists voice, to see if that would give me a clue as to whether what she was about to say was good or not, I guessed not. I was wrong! We did get three viable eggs and all three have fertilised!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The embryologist said that she understands that we have strong views on what we want to do with our embryo's and I agreed and said that yes, we do and we would be wanting to take them to Day5 again and we understand the risks. We had a conversation about why we wanted to do this and she explained the alternatives. She is going to phone tomorrow about 3pm to tell us how they are doing. Fingers crossed and positive thoughts!
