Meet our embabies! :)

The transfer went great this morning! We had 2 blasts (that's the stage we wanted them at today) that were grade A, transferred in!! We also had an early stage blast and another that was just about to that point - both of which they're freezing.

The transfer itself went fine, the worst part was that I had to pee! I had to lay flat for an hour afterwards, and ended up having to use the stupid bedpan - 3 times - guess I have a small bladder. :)

They took a picture of our embryos and are mailing it to me. We were able to see it on the viewfinder of the camera though, and I took a picture of it on my cell phone. One is a bit further along than the other and should start to hatch soon. (hatching ... wierd, right?) They are both really good though.

Here is a picture of them in me. (Also a picture taken by my cell phone.) I have the actual u/s pic, but couldn't scan it at home. They are the little white dot in the middle of the red circle.

Now we wait and pray that they snuggle in for a long while! As of this morning I am so hopeful, happy, and excited. I'm not going to lie - I'm in love with those little embryos. I'm sure I'll get back to being pessimistic (I actually prefer it that way, it's less disappointment), but for today I'm actually hopeful. :)

I am so excited. Thanks for sharing all of the details...very helpful and makes me so hopeful for you. I get what you mean about being pessimistic, but all of us can be overly hopeful for you.

Can't wait to see how things go and I will keep you and the embabies in my prayers.

All day, I've waiting to get online to see how things went! That's fantastic you have two beautiful embies and 2 snowbabies!!
The inner circle you can see on the embryo is actually the baby. The other stuff inside is the yolk sak and placenta pre-cursor. It's really amazing at day 5 all the cells are already differentiated!

Matt and I will be thinking of you over the next two weeks and praying for some sticky embryos!
