I am So Freaking Sad.

16 retrieved. 11 mature 8.. only 8 fertilized. Statistically this so sucks for me. I would like a 3 day transfer and now I am being told most likely no. I am 43. What are the odds any of these will make it? I am in a lot of pain from this retrieval as well. I am so crushed. 22 last time..
15 fertilized. Why God?

I'm sorry you’re upset. I know we want as many eggs as possible b/c it seems that would increase our odds. But, I really don't think 8 sounds bad. Several ladies I know in their 20's had less than that fertilize. I'm amazed you retrieved 22 last time. That's a lot.

It's more about quality than quality right? So we'll pray that those 8 continue to grow and divide. Hang in there.

Good luck to you-
Faith

Thank you Faith.. You are right about the quality of quantity.. I guess it's knowing this is it for ever freaks me out. As my Dr. said, it's in God's hands now.
