57%

I got the results back on the "no result" blast from our January cycle. In fact, Dr. Famous called me himself (from what sounded like his car, but whatever!). Turned out this Day 5 6AB was messed up all which ways. As Dr. Famous said, it had "multiple" genetic abnormalities. He did not have the exact info of which chromosomes were missing/too many (more proof he was in his car!), so I'll follow up with the nurse to satisfy my own curiosities. But in my mind, more proof that the visual grading system is bupkus.

Actually, I'm ok with this. I have 4 euploids, and I'm happy with that. 57% of all the blasts I made were euploid. Not bad in my book. Now, if I break it down by how many eggs were retrieved, or were mature or that fertilized, well that stat goes down hill quickly. So we'll not go there, m'kay?

I like 57%. That is the neighborhood of what I was prepared to get going into this testing. For once, and I hope this is a trend moving forward into FET, that I am following the normal stats. I'm not the outlier here. That's nice.

  1. That's good news! You're 30 days away from the FET start right? Hope the estrogen cools things down a bit for some sleep...

  2. I think that sounds freaking fantastic. Four euploids. Heaven. The possibility for a whole family in there!

  3. I'm with Mo--four euploids sound heavenly! Out of 81 eggs retrieved, we never even made one blast. Isn't that the saddest IF resume ever? OK, well not the saddest, but still.
    I think you will have a nice large family!

  4. 57%, that is fantastic and sure the heck beats my 25%. Your eggs are prettier than my eggs, lol!

  5. Sounds great! Wow - your FET is coming up! And, how cool that Dr. Famous called you himself (even if from his car) :)

  7. This is awesome news! 57% is fabulous, and I'm glad you are back with some estrogen in your system, because the hot flashes and sleeplessness really stink.
    Let us know when the FET date is!
