So of my 14 eggs retrieved, 12 were mature and 8 were fertilized! So now we’re just praying everyday that they are developing normally. We find out on Tues, Day 5 how many made it to blastocyst stage. We’re hoping to still have over 5. Last time we had 5 and 4 tested abnormal genetically. Meaning there was an excess or recessive gene in the chromosomal DNA and it would not develop normally and would result in a miscarriage. This happens even when both my husband and I had a genetic screen and everything came back normal on us.  That doesn’t necessarily mean that every embryo will develop normally too.

So this part isn’t as stressful as when they send it off for the genetic testing. That’s when I will be freaking out. So trying to think nothing but good thoughts.
