You aren't finished! <BR/><BR/>Will they freeze the ones that won't be biopsies as plan B embies? What will they do with them? <BR/><BR/>Anyhow, we've heard all kinds of things including that the less that good looking embies often make the best looking children. <BR/><BR/>Still, with four, statistically you have at least 1 normal. And that IS your golden embie. :-) Thinking of you...Josée Martenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774124942554313863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364708603593100884.post-82641165240457755162009-03-04T09:06:00.000-08:002009-03-04T09:06:00.000-08:00This is such a numbers game and I know when it com...This is such a numbers game and I know when it comes back it doesn't sound like very many...but you only need one right?

Remember, the...Sue, I'm hoping for the best today. Remember, the stats are that 30-50% of blasts come back normal, at the high end when you're younger, as you are. So I'd bet you'll hit at least the 50%mark with what you end up having available for biopsy. Also, CCRM's standards of what is good enough to biopsy and freeze are higher than other clinics so what does make it will be good quality. I did way worse than locally on blast count twice at CCRM and was totally gutted too. It stinks. But keep your chin up if you can. This is the bad part about cgh, waiting for weeks and weeks to get the results. We'll all try to keep you sane :-). Lots of hugs.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600005716649866724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364708603593100884.post-71157164332181185862009-03-03T19:30:00.000-08:002009-03-03T19:30:00.000-08:00I know it is so hard to fight the thoughts about '...I know it is so hard to fight the thoughts about 'more being better' and to resist that dreaded feeling that things won't work out...I think everything we have gone through conditions us to become afraid and draw that conclusion...<BR/><BR/>When really, RIGHT NOW you could have 'THE' embryo(s)-growing or frozen- <BR/> to make your family!!<BR/><BR/>It is so hard to have faith that everything is being worked out, but I think (esp. reading about CCRM's 80% success rate with pgd!!!) you have done amazingly well. If you read what Anonymous wrote, those are some good odds in your favour. Sometimes we just can't see/believe, I know. <BR/> <BR/>Meantime, take good care of each other (you and your man) and know that you will have normal, healthy embryos to transfer very soon. Your bfp could be sooner than you think. I can see it for you.<BR/><BR/>Thinking of and praying for you guys- peace.momsoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04599807521893609564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364708603593100884.post-54161164807463346692009-03-03T19:22:00.000-08:002009-03-03T19:22:00.000-08:00I still think you have a great chance of success. ...I still think you have a great chance of success. With your 2 frozen from last cycle and the 2 they just froze, you have a minimum of 4 plus a good chance of more tomorrow. Hang in there!

Meaning you know have great chances of them implanting and growing. It is no longer a guessing game of what you are transferring and that is huge. Hang in there! I hope that the embryologist was just downplaying it so that he could give you better news tomorrow.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09916441645018957933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364708603593100884.post-43399202591535089252009-03-03T19:00:00.000-08:002009-03-03T19:00:00.000-08:00You know, I still think this is a good report.

I know it is not the numbers you were hoping for, but if you end up with six or seven to test that will surely yield a couple of normals, if not more. I know it's hard to feel Pollyanna full of hope right now, so let me have it for you, ok? Treat yourself good.

Remember, with the blast biopsy (as opposed to the polar body on day 1) if you get even one normal CCRM has been saying they are getting an 80% pregnancy rate. Keep your chin up. Odds are that you'll get at least 1or 2 normals, possibly more, and then you can look forward to that 80% rate! I know it's disappointing but you may still come out of this cycle with a bfp. I'm in week 3 of the wait for microarray results (for PB biopsy) so know what you're going through. I'm sending you positive vibes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364708603593100884.post-6487330073143665602009-03-03T18:33:00.000-08:002009-03-03T18:33:00.000-08:00Oh Sweetie...I don't know what to say.
