We actually found out it was one on Friday morning when the nurse coordinator called. But today we got an email from the lab, confirming the embryo is still going strong and they biopsied the cell for CGH today. They'll freeze it on Wednesday (day 6 since they want it to be a blast and we just took one cell out...)
Oddly, Dr. Sh.er told my husband on Thursday that he got two eggs, but the lab report this morning said there were 3. Apparently only one was mature (this is not uncommon for us, and not surprising given this uneven cycle).
I'm home as of Friday - doing lots of loads of laundry and enjoying not-105-degree weather. Waiting for my period, which should be imminent, then I go back on BCP in prep for IVF 5.2.
Happy 4th of July (slightly early over here on the west coast. :)
My husband and I started trying to have a baby in 2007. We ended up doing 5 rounds of IVF with our own eggs, miscarrying twice due to chromosomal abnormalities, and then moved to donor eggs. Our son was born in 2012. After two unexplained miscarriages trying for a sibling, we found a gestational surrogate, who carried our second son (2015) and our daughter (2018).

ReplyDeleteHey there! I wanted to thank you for the comments and encouragement you've been leaving on my blog. We really do have such similar histories and I am really rooting for you! I am sending good vibes to your little embryo to keep going strong! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI have been in the one egg car. In one of our transfers, the nurses would ask how many we were transferring - you know, making small talk. I could see the thought cross their face "oh, and such a nice couple - too bad they only have one". Just be ready for it and steady yourself against it.
ReplyDeleteOne is all it takes, said the pregnant woman who transferred only one last cycle.
