More Confusion
So I wrote to Dr. Italian last night questioning why I should call their office back today at 10AM to get an embryo report.
Here's what I wrote:
His reply:
And me:
Hoping against hope I stuck a needle of PIO in my hip last night before going to bed.

Hi Dr. Italian,
As you know my embryos arrested.
Nurse J told me to call her at 10AM tomorrow to “see if anything changed”.
Six day old embryos with less than 20 cells….would you really transfer them if there IS a change? I can’t imagine my lining would be prepared to “hang around” in the proper state of receptiveness while it waited for these embryos to grow to blast and hatch.
Any thoughts on this?
His reply:
Day 6 lining is fine..we have done many tx on day 6...the limiting factor will be your embryo. if it blasts by tomorrow it is worth transferring, and i have seen it happen enough to know you never give up until the end of day 6.
And me:
Each had 6 and 7 cells today (same as on day 3). If a blast has 70-100 cells, each cell needs to divide 4 times within 24 hours. Is that possible? I can’t seem to find anything online about speed of embryonic cells.
Hoping against hope I stuck a needle of PIO in my hip last night before going to bed.

post a commentWhat, are they just trying to torture you?! I have had a six day transfer, and it took (for a few weeks); so maybe they have a point. But my understanding of your situation is that the 2 stopped dividing? That seems to be the end to me. *sigh* This whole process sucks, better luck next time hon.
I think you need to face facts: at age 45 with an FSH through the roof it is game over. Your story is making me cringe. .
Cringe away Anonymous.
Face facts? Try reading the literature on women with elevated FSH who have conceived and have gone on to have children.
A FSH of 9 isn't considered elevated either.
Found you through LFCA. So sorry at the rollercoaster ride you've been experiencing. Your questions to Dr. Italian seem utterly sensible to me (and I'd have done the PIO too, just in case).
