Our three embryo's are still doing great!! All three have progressed to 8 cells and are rated 19/20. We discussed the potential option of transferring that day (3 Day Transfer) but given that all three are still progressing I decided to stick with the day 5 transfer. It was tough deciding but at this point we don't know if any are stronger then the others and it would be hard to choose. By going to day 5 we hope to have at least one develop into a blast. We aren't expecting to get any frosties out of this at this point, so our best options it to ensure a blast is transferred. Or what would be fantastic is if two blasts can be transferred and we do get one frostie.
This whole process has been an eye opener for me. I now realize that given my age this may be my one and only chance so having twins come out of this would be ideal. If we are successful I can't wait long before we try for our second child. If we aren't successful then we need to start immediately following the mandatory three month wait.
This 5 day period beyond the egg retrieval is the most stressful. I stare at my phone all morning waiting for a call from the embryologist and start freaking out when they are delayed. It is so hard not to stress, my stomach is a ball of knots. On another note all of my discomfort from the ER has passed. The transfer is supposed to be painless so it should be clear sailing from now on.
Transfer is going to be tomorrow!! I can not believe it is finally almost here. Sadly still waiting for my day 4 update. Hopefully I will have more great news to share shortly.
