Nightowl - Yes, we did use ICSI for the first round. The doctor was shocked when only 2 fertilized and then stopped growing. The RE will be running some tests on my husband to make sure there aren't any DNA issues. He doesn't think it's an egg problem at all. I've read that when the eggs stop growing, it is usually a sperm issue, not an egg issue. He did say that he's had this happen before, but never had it repeat. I'm confident that we will get more eggs this round AND make it to ET.
Kmp - I'm doing much better today. Thank you for the information, I will definitely take a look and read her blog. It really helps to read others infertility experiences and the happy outcomes.
Good luck to everyone who is starting the stim shots...they're not bad at all...it's a piece of cake by the 3rd day.
