Have you ever had the feeling that you won the lottery?! I have now that feeling ๐๐๐คฃ๐คฃ
We had 11 eggs retrieved, 7 were mature and 6 fertilised. On day 2 they told us that 3 are looking good with no fragmentation and the other 3 embryos have more cells than they should have for day 2. On day 3 we had a very nice surprise all 6 embryos were still developing and 5 of them looked good with no fragmentation. So from those 3 which werenโt looking that good on day 2, two of them managed to recover somehow and developed into nice little embryos for that stage. On day 5/6 we had 4 embryos that reached blastocyst and were biopsied and cryopreserved ๐ฅณ ๐๐๐ ๐โค๏ธ
We never had more than 1 embryo per cycle. This is the best ever result ๐ฅฐโค๏ธ
The quality of our embryos are: 5ab, 5bb, 4bb, 5bc (from this cycle) and 5aa (from our previous cycle). We had now another waiting game - PGS testing of 5 beautiful embryos ๐ค๐ฌ๐คฏ that will be ready in next 20 days.
I know exactly what I did differently this cycle: 1. I was stressed like anything that my husband had Covid ๐๐๐ 2. I shared my cycle with all of you (thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the support) 3. I added DHEA and Ovusitol in the mix ๐คญ (and I have a beautiful black moustache now๐ฅด๐๐)
Ps: the embryologist used my husband fresh sperm to inject the embryos and he was still recovering from COVID ๐ค๐คทโโ๏ธ
His sense of smell is still not back after one month since he tested positive...
So apparently stress and COVID are not having a bad effect on fertility ๐๐๐คฃ๐คฃ just joking
Have a lovely evening all โค๏ธ๐๐ค๐ค
