Hey everyone, just an update...
The clinic called today, 13 of the 17 eggs were mature (which is a normal thing) and only 4 fertilized. I am a bit bummed, I was sure hoping for a few more so we could freeze some but I also knew that the fertilization percentage is lower with sperm that is taken out of the testicles vice ejaculatory sperm (something to do with the sperm maturing in the Vas Deferens, which most men with CF Don't have).
Because we only have 4, the clinic wants to do a transfer on monday instead of Wednesday so I am frantically trying to rearrange my schedule and just realized that I have NO contact numbers for anyone in my new department so I am just going to have to go in there on Monday and tell them-ugh!!! The transfer is at Noon in WA so anybody who wants to say some prayers or send good thoughts our way, we'd love that!
Thanks everyone, I'll continue to keep you posted!
