I just found out that all 8 of our remaining embabies made it to freeze! Woohoo! Not only is that a testament to their good quality, but it also means that if *God forbid* this cycle doesn't work, I won't have to go through the entire stimming and retrieval process again. Thank goodness for that because it really took a heavier toll on me physically than I thought it would.
So for right now, I'm just focusing on the fact that we have 8 little frosties. Honestly, I never thought we would have that many. When we started this process, I really thought my eggs were the problem. But everything we've seen so far would indicate otherwise, and it's really encouraging. If my eggs were bad, we would have hit numerous roadblocks along the way. We probably wouldn't have retrieved as many as we did. Or they wouldn't have fertilized properly. Or so many of them wouldn't have made it to day 5 after ER. Or most of them would have died off before freezing.
To have so many things go in our favor this month has been amazing. I was so preparing myself for the worst (thank you IF survivor's instinct). I can't help but be optimistic now that this is going to work.
It has to, right? Well okay, I'm not that naive, but it's a nice thought. :)
Guess I'll find out for sure in 8 more days.
