Great Embryos!!

I always get a little loopy w/ the valium and forget some stuff...

But out of 14 eggs, 8? Were mature (which I was really disappointed w/ ) and 6 fertilized. This was the worst results as far as maturity and fertilization we've had so far....

But the great news is that they transferred 2- 10 cell (grade A & B+) embryos!!! (that's the best we've had so far!) And the other 4 are doing really well and could potentially make it to freezing! We have 2- 7 cell (grade?), 1- 8 cell (grade B-), & 1- 10 cell (C+). The last cycles our remaining eggs have all been around 4-6 cells and low grade. So, I'm very optimistic about potential freezing and just elated about the two we put back in. The remaining eggs have 2 more days of growth before they will determine if they will freeze them or not. My RE has very high standards and won't even try to freeze them unless they meet them.

Just to give you something to compare to. Our 1st cycle we transferred 1- 8 cell & 1- 6 cell (both grade b) and our 2nd cycle we transferred 1- 8 cell & 1- 7 cell (both grade A). Having 2- 10 celled embryos this time was a complete shock!

Now, I don’t recall this conversation too well…but I guess before my RE started the procedure…he asked if 2 was ok to put back in and then told me that if it were his daughter…he’d suggest only 2. Isn’t that sweet? Given the high quality…I think it was the right decision.

My RE is very optimistic and said that the ET procedure went perfectly and he placed these 2 embryos in the exact place that he put the others…he said this is the magic spot.

My Beta’s are on 10/10 and 10/12….so we’ll see!
