[quote=Anonymous]I'm so confused. We started with 12 eggs. 11 made it to embryo stage. We then split the batch to do 5 ICSI and 6 natural IVF today on day 2 we're down to 7. We've only lost the natural IVF embryo's (lost 4 of them). I was really hoping to make it to a 5 day blast, but it's so scary knowing we lost 4 in 2 days what's to say we will have anything on day 5). I also have a 4 yr old and so here are my concerns;

1) What if they tell me the embryo's are of average quality tomorrow ( day 3) and encourage double embryo transfer. I am very adverse to twins as I have a 4 yr old, but now that I'm down to the wire, I'm nervous about this failing altogther. In addition my DH cannot make it to the appt tomorrow so I feel like the pressure is on me at the end of the day to make the right call on what to do.

2) If these 7 exist tomorrow, or say we lose the other 2 naturally fertilized embryo's tomorrow (so we're down to 5), do we just move ahead with a blast? How many embryo's would it take for you to move ahead with a blast? I would feel more confident about the whole situation if we were using a blast, but of course with 7 embryo's left, maybe that's too risky since 4 have died in just 2 days. How many embryo's did you move to blast stage with?[/quote]
