No Peepsicles
We got our final report from the embryology lab and, although the two Peeps that are in my uterus now are "very nice" and "GREAT looking," none of the other three were able to be frozen.
They didn't say whether they had pooped out, developmentally, or if they just didn't meet their "strict criteria" for cryopreservation.
So, if the Peeps don't stick, we'll have to do another stim cycle next time.
Sorry, Shrike!
Regarding the Peeps-in-utero, there really is no news to be had yet. We're waiting and it's way too early yet to have any indication how things might be going in there.
We're now 3dp5dt (3 days post 5-day transfer) which equates to 8 dpER (days post egg retrieval - essentially the same as days post-ovulation) so it would be at least a couple more days before one could even pretend that it would be worth ones time to pee on a stick.
I'll try to hold out til Sunday, which is probably still too early.
Sorry about the Peepsicles. Hang on tight little Peeps!
ReplyDeleteWe really hate that. Were counting on them just in case. Does eliminate the decision about what to do in the future.
ReplyDeleteDig in little Peeps. Your mamas want to do thisNOW and not again. As do we all.

Yeah, Shrike was really counting on them to spare her another stim cycle if I can't hang on to the Peeps.
ReplyDeleteBut, thinking positively, if things goes as planned, we won't need them anyway.

What a shame they didn't make it to the freezer. I hope the two in there stick around and you don't have to do the whole thing again.
ReplyDeleteSo, when you start peeing on sticks, will there be that false positive thing to contend with or will a positive mean a positive?
ReplyDeleteThe false positives (which I knew were false; it was way too early) in the IUI cycles were from the HCG trigger shot to mature the eggs and make me ovulate.
ReplyDeleteThis time around, Shrike got the trigger, to mature the eggs and make them ready for retrieval, and I didn't get any.
(Although, if we had given her a pee test around the time of retrieval, she would have had a false positive.)
So, while there's a possibility of a temporary positive, of course, we don't have to worry about false positives this time, or waiting for them to wear off.
