9 eggs. 7 fertilised.
Day 3 transfer set for 1pm on Thursday, I'm not sure if we get to go to blast if things look good then. The clinic require 4 great quality embryos on day 3 before considering blast. I'm also not even sure the clinic do transfers on a Saturday :-(
One slight hiccup, Mr L said yesterday that he won't do IVF again. He thinks it is taking over our lives. I'm not sure if it is just a reaction from the recent stress, he seems adamant though, and he is a very stubborn man. I'm just letting it go for the moment, there is enough to think about right now. We can discuss this later if necessary.
I'm trying to be calm but it is hard not to panic a little.

You go girl!
7 fertilised eggs is great news!
Don't worry about getting to blast. You hear of so many bfp's with 2 and 3 day transfer. My clinic said they only wait to see which are the best embryos. Where possible they like to get them back in asap as it's by far the best place for them.
Don't worry about your DH. Like you said, it's probably a reaction and he'll come around. Not something to worry about now as this cycle will be the one that works!! xx
Great results!! I am thinking and praying for you and your success.
As for DH... like you said.. no need to discuss it at this point. Probably will be no need to discuss it because I have much faith that this will work!
Hi Carrie.. :) :) That's great news about your eggs and fertilization.. :) :)
I agree with Portia about your DH. I can't remember how many times DH and I said that this will be our last IVF and than we went on to do more after a break and finding a life outside of IF. Don't worry about it right now. Its not on issue right now and we just have to focus on this working.
My Dh is stubborn too but I do suggest commnicating. That's what I learnt from my DH and what we went through these last few months. Dh was telling me he doesn't even want kids anymore back in November. But once we sorted out his feelings and why he was saying these things, it helped us the bigger picture. Men aren't in touch with their emotions so there first reaction to a hard situation is to run away from it and say No.
Great news!! 7 is a lucky number!
I agree with the others that this is probably just a reaction from stress from your husband. Don't think about that too much.
Try not to worry about making it to blast, either. Whether it's 3-days or 5, I just know that one (or two) of these little guys is going to be the one (or two)!!

7 is GREAT!
And tell the hubs not too worry--you wont HAVE to do this again. (positive thinking for you!)
Hugs, Carrie--thinking of you!
Just de-lurking wish you good luck with this cycle!
Thank you for commenting on my blog -- I really appreciate your kind words. I can see you've been through a lot, too, especially with this last chemical pregnancy. I've had 3 -- they are so frustrating and painful.
Fingers are crossed for you!
Go girl and go embies, so hoping you get a good call tomorrow about the grade and cell division. Right with ya, every step of the way xx
Lucky #7! Thanks for sharing your good news in this step of the process.
Sending some strength and calm to you and your honey during these waiting days. I am sure the stress is difficult for both of you.
Here's to keeping your thoughts focused on today. :)
7 is great, wow! But I'm kinda with your husband right now. I was chatting with mine tonight, talking that if we have no eggs even frozen again, that we might just call it quits for awhile, that we're sick of the limbo, that we need a real break to see if we can even do this or if it's time for other options. It's so hard when it takes over like this, it's too long. Way way way too long.
good luck thursday my friend,I'll be thinking of you.
I think 7 sounds great! Nice lucky number. Don'tworry about your DH, he may feel differently once you're not in the middle of a cycle. I'm praying for your little embies!
Carrie - if you need a break from your upcoming 2WW, I have tagged you for a meme: Six Non-Important Quirks about Me.
Thinking of you.
Carrie, 7 is a great number! Don't worry about DH. Like everyone said, you need to focus on this right now! I wish you all the best :)
Great...lucky 7! I will be hoping for the best for you. As far as the hubby goes, I agree to let the moment go for now and tackle that conversation another time. HOPEFULLY it won't be necessary!!
:)
sounds like a great report! best of luck with the transfer. I'm holding out hope for you.
don't worry about your hub now. whether he means it or not, you can't think about that right now. I know it feels like it adds pressure, believe me (mine said the same thing), but try to block it out -- you don't need any added stress right now. just breathe...
thinking of you. ~luna
I guess I've been out of it for a while and I didn't realize you were already at the transfer stage. I will be thinking of you this Thursday and hoping all goes well. Let's keep our fingers crossed that your hubby's comment becomes irrelevant as you'll get your BFP this time! :)
Hoping another IVF isn't even in question!
I am new to reading your blog...and just wanted to say good luck with your transfer!
Stay in the day..and try not to worry about what tomorrow may bring. :) Wishing you great success!
Kristen~
7 is great!!! men! why would dh tell you that, now??? he is probably just being dramatic and it's not anything that a month break won't fix.
but pray god you all won't need that break.
grow 7 grow 7!!!!!
Good luck with your transfer, I really hope that you don't have to decide about another IVF for only the best of reasons,
J
