I Kick Out Quality, Baby!

I slept with my phone right by me last night in case RCC called earlier in the morning to give me my Fertilization Report.  But by 10:30 they still hadn't called and I started getting antsy.  Then around 11:30 I tried to call, but it went right to voicemail.  So then I got busy helping my mom with a project and tried not to think about it.  But then I started thinking, "What if all my eggs were bad and they just don't know how to tell me and that is why they haven't called?!"  (Which I know is ridiculous, but it could happen!)  Then finally at 1:44pm they called.  After chatting for a few minutes about how I was feeling, my cute nurse finally said, "So, are you ready for your Fertilization Report?"  And then she told me the craziest news ever!  Out of my ten eggs, all ten were mature!  I seriously don't even know how that is possible, since those last two follicles were new and not very big at all, and the doctor was actually surprised (as were we) that we collected ten eggs in the first place.  But for all of them to be mature?  That has got to be some new record for RCC.  Then she went on to tell me that nine out of the ten fertilized normally!!  That also is off-the-charts good.  So I now have nine potential embryos!  Who would have thought that possible?!?!  Now obviously there are still hurdles to cross before transfer day, but still -- starting with nine potential embryos is waaaay better than I expected.  It will be interesting to see what happens next.  All nine could grow well and be genetically okay which means we would transfer two and actually have some to freeze (another thing I never thought possible for us...)  But also, all nine could stagnate and/or be CF-affected.  Most likely something inbetween will happen.  We won't know until we get there.  So stay tuned!
