I'm in a similar position. Only difference is results day is tomorrow and I'm travelling on Sunday. Me and my wife are also trying to be cautiously optimistic as she also showing early pregnancy signs (swollen breasts, fatigue etc). Hold thumbs! Good luck! I’m in a similar position.

Congratulations on your IVF success. Here's to hoping you have a healthy, happy bundle of joy! As for us, we're trying to remain "cautiously optimistic." It's not an easy middle ground to find, but it seems like the safest place (emotionally speaking). Thanks again for taking the time to offer some words of hope -- it's especially nice to hear from someone with such a similar story (2 of 7 rate, IVF/ICSI, good/perfect embryos, etc.). Thanks, Julia!

We had a 2 out of 7 fertilization rate with our last IVF/ICSI cycle, too. We have MFI, but due to a lot of time wasted (long story), I'm 40. We transferred one perfect embryo and one high grade embryo on day 3. I knew it couldn't work. It couldn't POSSIBLY work. Then, go figure, it did. I'm 22 wks pg with a singleton, and although there's a LONG way between here and delivery of a healthy baby, there's hope. I sincerely hope you have a great outcome--wishing you a lot of luck. --Julia Hi Paul–
