2 lucky charms

Yesterday I received an unexpected call from Sergi our Embryologist.

He said "Good news! We now have frozen two of your remaining embryos that both made it to a Blastocyst!"

I paused. I cried. I called my husband.

Now I have to focus on what will happen next!

3 transferred today!

We ended up transferring 3 of the 8. This is our one chance. Doesn't look like the other 5 will likely develop.

Fingers crossed this is it!

Day 3 transfer

I received a phone call at 8am today from our embryologist that only 2 of the 8 embryos are dividing fast enough. Looks like we are going to do the transfer in 30min. We can only hope some of the remaining 6 make it so they may be frozen...

We await now with faith, hope and a few tears!

8 0f 8 Eggs all grade 2

Good news so far...:) 

8 or 8 are all fertilized and we have the best case scenario to begin with!

Fingers crossed as the mature and develop over the next few days!!!!!
