Watch 'Em(bryos) Grow!


Day 1 after retrieval- 28 eggs retrieved yesterday, 22 were mature, 18 fertilized normally, 1 fertilized abnormally
"Awesome" as described by our nurse, very promising news, hopeful to be able to make it to a day 5 transfer!

Day 2 after retrieval- "Fantastic"-from my RE who called me personally this morning
Looks like any ivf from the get-go, 18 embryos still developing! Very hopeful for a Monday transfer of one embryo and more to freeze :)

Day 3 after retrieval- Still have 18!! Remarkable.

Day 4 after retrieval- They do not look at the embryos this day.

 Day 5 after retrieval-Implantation of one day 5 embryo, freezing at least six viable embryos (we will know exact count later) I'm pregnant! Hoping and praying that our embaby will implant and grow!
