Fertilization?

Dr W called this morning to let us know that out of the 17 eggs, 11 fertilized normally, 1 is still undecided and 5 decided not to bother getting in on the whole baby experience!

Since we have been used to 100% fertilization in the past, I guess this shows the beginning of our downward slide on age v fertility, I am 36 after all and heading fast for the big four O! It seems we were right to cycle now instead of waiting until Sarah and Jacob are a little older.

The embryos will be monitored for the next couple of days to see how they are doing and we will then have to decide whether to do PGD and a 5 day transfer or if they are not doing so well it will be a 3 day transfer.

We will see.

11 is a really great number, even if it isn't exactly what you were hoping for. Keep up the faith! :) I'm ready when those little embies are ready!
