I wish I would have moved forward two days ago with the cycle because I'm pretty set with this girl. But a month of wait won't hurt.
The way I'm thinking is, if 6 fresh eggs of a 27 year old (I thought she was 29, but no, she's 27), cannot give me one blast, two more eggs are not going to increase the odds too much.
Looking back at my history, at age 39, on my first cycle at CC.RM, out of the12 eggs that we fertilized with Dan's sperm, 6 made it to blast. I don't mean to be repetitive but 50% made it to blast with a 39 year old woman's eggs. I think I have a pretty good chance of getting one blast with a 27 year old girl that has a great track record of pregnancies. And if it doesn't happen, I just have to face that maybe it's just not meant to be for us.
After looking at other girls profile's, even though they are all pretty and smart, we don't really like any of them. I am very happy we are getting to cycle with the girl we want, and that we are getting 6 fresh eggs as opposed to 5 frozen that was our original plan. I feel very lucky!

Excited for you! Now that you will be freezing embryos, will you CGH test them?
ReplyDeleteWhich reminds me, do you know the gender of your egg/donor sperm embryos?
Is it summer yet?
We are not going to test them, we don't have extra money to spare plus CC.RM doesn't think it's necessary on women under 35. My friend recently did a donor egg cycle and out of 7 blasts, 6 were normal. Dan produces CCS normal embryos, with a good young egg, I think we'll be fine.
DeleteI don't know the gender! CC.RM won't tell me. I've requested the reports two weeks ago, since this clinic needs them but they haven't sent them to me. Glad you reminded me, I'm going to call. I'm thinking I'll find out in the report... Now, do I want to know... If only one takes, I would rather not know who's is it :)
I know!!! Is it summer yet? :) :) :)
It's exciting when a plan comes together. Everything seems to be falling into place. Wishing you the best of luck with this.
ReplyDeleteThis is really exciting. Wishing you all the very best :-)
ReplyDeletei am with you... all the way!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for you! I have a really good feeling about this. . . you have worked to so hard to make this come together and really deserve the best outcome possible.
ReplyDeleteIs it that CCRM just hasn't passed the info along yet, or do they purposely withhold gender info?
ReplyDeleteSince you won't be testing the donor egg embryos, I think it's fine to know gender of the donor sperm embryos. You still wouldn't know for certain unless both implant. In that case you would already know you have one of each. Is your plan never to find out?
Of course, none of that really matters! I'm really excited for you!
They have not told me the gender because of their policy BUT it will be in the embryo report sent to the clinic. It's part of it.
DeleteNow there is one scenario where I could find out. Say I know I have two boys and I end up with one girl, I would know it wasn't mine.
We both don't want to know, in case we only have one, we would both be excited the full pregnancy and once we have the baby we really won't care. I don't even care much now.
That sounds perfect. :-)
ReplyDeleteYES YES YES! This is all such great news and I am so excited for you girl! It's about bloody time things went your way. I am so hoping you get your wish and have twins - we could be twin mom as together! I will have much advice for you at that point. But I know I'm getting way ahead of myself - one step at a time, but so far so good!
