30%

We had our frozen IVF consultation today and got a lot of information.  10 of our 14 eggs were fertilized and separated into two sets of 5.  They were frozen on day 1 and all 10 were level 1 embryos which she said was really good.  They will thaw 5 of the 10 embryos and then they will watch them develop until day 5 when it becomes a blastocyst.  At that point they will implant 2-3 embryos.  That is different than the fresh cycle.  The fresh cycle they would only implant 1-2 embryos.  The chance of success is still 40% just like with the fresh cycle but our chance of having twins is now 30%.  I will be thankful with how ever many babies we have, I just was not expecting that high of a chance for twins!  So now I will be starting the lupron injections on the 14th along with the estrogen patch (I think that is starting on the 14th) and then I will start on the progesterone around July 7th.  The transfer will happen between the 11th and the 13th and then 10-12 days after I will take a pregnancy test.  If it is positive then I will go for 3 more tests a few days apart after to make sure my levels are continuing to rise.  It was a lot of information that we received today.  A little overwhelming but I am just going to take it one step at a time.
