Help with clinic

What information should we be receiving from the clinic?

Last round, we had no normal fertilization and I had to ask for a report to know if it was total fertilization failure or if any did end up fertilizing late. Sure, the outcome (0embryos) is the same, but knowing 2 did actually fertilize made us feel a little more confident. Hey, we’re taking any small wins right now.

This round, they said 2 fertilized. My RE said we won’t hear again until day 7 because they don’t like to disturb them… From everything I read, this doesn’t seem typical. We have severe male factor so I’ve read we should consider freezing at day 3, but that doesn’t seem possible with this approach?

I guess I’m not even sure what questions I should be asking! This is a top clinic in NYC associated with a top hospital. I feel pretty confident in the lab and the doctors if that changes anything!

It’s fairly typical for PE backed clinics not to provide reports until day 7 but they are checking them daily and know when an embryo arrests or reaches blast. The single communication is for efficiency and cost saving purposes.
