My greed

My day5 embryo update: 5 excellent, 2 normal = 7 embryos. They called me to ask how would I want them to be freeze. Five individual test tubes for the five excellent embryos and one test tube for the two embryos? They explained the number of test tubes corresponds to the freezing cost. I said OK!

My greed pushed me to recount my 20 eggs ... 12 fertilized... 9 excellent cleavage... 7 embryos... (5 excellent, 2 normal)... Oh no! I paused for a while. What will happen to the seven after thawing? I was speechless.She then said that my embryo so far is the best embryo they have ever cultured this year. I laughed out loud. She insisted she was not kidding!

5 excellent embryo from 20 eggs. 25% ya. If I did not have hyperstimulation, let us say 12 eggs were retrieved, 25% of 12 eggs is 3 embryo? Then, how many embryo will survive after freezing? Scary... Maybe I am just looking for a safety net.

Btw, how many babies do I want? I prayed for one pregnancy and successful a birth only. After all, I am battling with the pregnancy safety issue. TNF-alpha may flare up. Immune suppressants may cause cancer.
