Here is what my RE's office described today as:
"Day 0: Egg harvest, conscious sedation, egg count, Later that afternoon ICSI is preformed. Usually 75% of eggs will be suitable for ICSI after they are stripped"
My thoughts:
- egg count: hoping the 17 they saw yesterday are all good, will find out for sure before we leave the office
- 75% of 17 is 12.75 so come on 13!!
- ICSI is pronounced Ick-see (FYI)
- ICSI is where they put a sperm into the egg
- I am not 100% sure if they are going to do this or not. If they don't...we get 1k back, but if they do I think Dr. M said there is a better chance of fertilization.
- stripped?? Need to find out what this is.


Praying everything goes smoothly. They talk about stripping the extra gunk off from around the eggs in the video I posted on my blog a while back. I can't recall the term, but it's basically the stuff the egg grows in while in the follicle.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to ask today! Thanks for filling me in, I will try and find that video!
