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

I am indeed, day 4 of the 2WW and its already playing on my mind so much! I doubt I will be able to wait the full 14days to test. I'm so impatient ๐คฃ
Awww that's fantastic news lovely!! I'm really pleased for you both. I know a couple of people that have had covid and it does take a while for taste to come back....hopefully wont be too much longer but glad he's on the mend. All sounding great. Best of luck for the next step!!๐ค๐ปxx
I took ovusitol for exactly one month before stimulation, during the stimulation I didnโt had any leftover so I stopped them and DHEA I took for 3 weeks only, one week before stimulation I stopped them because I started to have facial hair growth and greasy hair as side effects so my doctor advised me to stop.
I took around 3 weeks of DHEA on March as well when my cycle was cancelled due to COVID.
Oh my gosh this is fabulous news!! Iโm so happy for you, think you did just win the infertility lottery ๐ I hope your PGS results come back just as lucky ๐๐ค๐ค
Doctor advised me to take them because I am not producing too many mature eggs for my age and for my good AMH and also for better eggs quality as you probably heard eggs can fix sperm. I wanted to have the best quality eggs to help the sperm - last cycle we had 8 eggs fertilised, 7 made to day 3 and only 1 to day 5.
We will never know if all these supplements helped us 100% but I am always willing to try something different. โค๏ธโค๏ธ
Hello! Iโm in similar position to you! My 3 blasts were biopsied yesterday and Iโm just waiting to hear! Iโm starting another cycle next week as Iโm hoping to bank embryos xx
