We got the call from the doctor's office this morning. 5 out of 8 fertilized. Believe it or not, I was kind of upset when I heard this number. How flippin' crazy can I be? Just on Friday they were hoping they would be able to get 3 eggs and now here we sit one day post retrieval with 5 EMBRYOS. I am officially crazy.
So for the next steps. We will have a 3 day transfer on Friday morning at 10:15 unless we hear from the doctor by 8:30. If we hear from the doctor by 8:30, then our transfer would be moved to Sunday making it a 5 day transfer. With a 5 day transfer, they would for sure know that the embryos made it to the blastocyst stage and could possibly already be hatching. There's some studies out there that shows the success with a 3 day transfer is similar to that of a 5 day transfer so I'll be happy with either one! I'm just glad that we hopefully will get to that stage! Just a week ago, they wanted to cancel this cycle and now we have 5 EMBRYOS continuing to develop. We just have to keep the faith. God has a plan.
So yesterday was February 4 (obviously). Last year on February 4, I had a frozen embryo transfer with 2 embryos. One of those became our miracle, Nathan. Such a bittersweet day. When you have a transfer, they give you a picture of the embryos they transferred as well as the petri dish where the embryos were hanging out beforehand. Below is the picture of the petri dish from my frozen embryo transfer 1 year ago. Hard to imagine that Nathan was just an embryo at that point and was in the petri dish. And yes, I'm sure they clean the petri dish out before handing them to patients.
Love you, sweet baby.
