Rescue ICSI to the Rescue!


When the phone rang this morning, I had to take deep breaths before picking it up. She asked how I was doing and I told her that was completely dependant upon what she had to say.

5 of them fertilized! 2 of those 5 didn’t do anything beyond the initial fertilization. Under the microscope they could identify that a sperm and an egg met, but nothing happened. But, there are 3 that ARE doing what they are supposed to be doing. (Dividing, with cells doubling by the day. Remember those cell division lessons from Biology?)

It’s a small glimmer of hope, but it is hope and we will take it for today!
