Of the 5 oocytes, 4 fertilized with ICSI, 1 was immature -- again, no surprises here. Transfer is Sunday and I'm trying to keep from obsessing about all of this. I am hoping the quality will be better than before, but I just have to keep telling myself that there are no guarantees and that I have no control over what happens. To be honest, I am dreading the 2ww. It's such a hard time. I'm going to try to distract myself as much as possible and keep busy, but this will be the fifth 2ww for me and it doesn't really get easier. I'm not going to even try to kid myself about that.
Great fertilization rate! Is this the first time trying co-culture or have you done that in the past?
I also hurt more this time than my previous two retrievals - wonder if they were in a rush because there are so many cyclers?
Best of luck - hope all goes well with transfer tomorrow and the 2WW is as short & painless as it can be.
