I spent most of the day laying on the couch. First because I felt like crap from ER. My stomach is very bloated, has a VERY full feeling, and its very uncomfortable. I'm pretty sure I have mild OHSS. I can feel little stings in my ovaries occasionally. It feels like I have serious indigestion. I have been staying away from carbs (breads, pasta's, rice, etc) and drinking a lot of pedialyte and Gatorade. Not sure if its helping much because I felt way worse yesterday than the day before.
Second, I gave myself the day to be depressed. On one hand, I was pretty devastated (I feel like crap for nothing!). On the other hand, we have a diagnosis! After 2 1/2 years of ttc, we now know why we can't get pregnant! Even though I have pcos, I ovulate. Even though I was born with a septate uterus, it doesn't cause IF. C's sperm just don't want anything to do with my eggs!
Since I spent most of the day on the couch, I also used my android for some serious research with Dr. Google. What I read was pretty devastating (which did not help me feeling helpless and depressed!)! With Rescue ICSI, eggs are old so the likely hood of them making good embryo's is slim and the likely hood of any implanting of giving you a baby is 7%. 7%!!!! That's not very much. However, I also asked Dr. Google to show me some success stories with Rescue ICSI... I found some! So I do have hope again! Especially since Dr. R called with our report a few min ago...
Dr. R... "I am calling with a better tone in my voice today!"
Me... "Okay???"
Dr. R... "We have at least five embryo's, but the embryologist is going to call you in a little bit with the official report!"
Me... "Thank you God! On the bright side at least we have a diagnosis!"
Dr. R... "Ya, but not the best way to do it!"
Me... "No kidding!"
So, we have AT LEAST five! FIVE embryo's! This is the CLOSEST we have EVER came to being pregnant! We actually have little babies growing in a petri-dish! I cannot believe it!
I know the likelihood of them making babies is slim. But, I am praying for a miracle! Miracles happen every day!
We are now doing a Day 3 transfer, which is really a Day 4 from ER, Monday afternoon sometime! I am also going to ask if we can implant more then one since the quality isn't going to be as high!
Will know more soon! I have HOPE again!
