IVF Update: we received an email this morning informing us that yesterday we got 5 eggs, from those 5 were mature and today we have 4 successfully fertilized.

The last time we did it, we had 100% fertilization rate. At this stage, there is a 50% chance we get 1 or 0 embryo.

We are already planning 2nd round and we are picking up the drugs.

This morning, we went to the clinic to retrieve my wife's egg. We got there at 7h45am. 8h15am she was sedated and by 8h45, the doctor came back. The left ovary ovulated and only 5 eggs were retrieves on the right ovary.
I collapsed in tears of sadness. We were already thinking of going through another cycle (the 3rd) next month. Low numbers mean lower chances of having a healthy embryo.

It sadens me to see Spanish farmers having to protest in Madrid today. The mercosur agreements will forever kill Europe. The EU autocratie must stop.
