Moving right along

We just got the phone call that we'll be doing a 5 day transfer. It's scheduled for 7:30 on Thursday morning. I've done so much reading on 3 vs 5 day transfers and I can't really find anything that says clear cut which is better. It makes me nervous.

By today we wanted them to be 8 cell embryos. Then they grade each one - 4 means perfect. 1 is bad. Here are mine:

12 cell - grade 3+

8 cell - grade 4

8 cell - grade 3+

7 cell - grade 3

6 cell - grade 3

4 cell - grade 2

I found pictures online of embryo development. There aren't our exact ones, but it should be what they look like. The first picture is what they all looked like on Sunday with the pronuclei. The second picture is of an 8 cell, grade 4.

So all in all, they are doing fairly well I think. Now if only I could feel better. I've been running a slight fever (100.6) off and on the past few days, and I'm sort of dizzy at the moment. Great fun.
