Egg News - Cluck Cluck
Talk about feeling like a chicken.... Sorry this info. might be repeat for some I emailed today...Got the call from the nurse at UCSF…….. They collected 18 eggs yesterday. Out of the 18, 12 were mature (the other 6 that were not matured are basically thrown out.)
With the 12 they did the ICSI procedure and put a sperm into each egg. Out of those 12, 10 fertilized over night. This is about an 80% fertilization success rate, they said the average is usually about 60%.
So – now those 10 are in the incubator and are growing / dividing etc.
Will and I meet with the doctor on Saturday at noon to get the final report on our embryos, finalize how many we are going to transfer and then freeze the rest! I’m hoping if we transfer two embryos I will have enough frozen to do at least two more rounds of this (if needed.)
Sidenote - the chicken picture above is from some website that sells "crochet crafts" to fit over "Renuzit Air Fresheners." God help me if I ever get so bored in my life!! I'll keep all posted on the further developments!
