Fert Report...

What an exhausting 48 hours!  I didn't sleep much last night because I knew sometime this morning we would be getting the call to tell us how everything was progressing.  Anything can happen and that terrifies me!  At 8am exactly I got the call from the embryologist.  I'm sure he thought I was a weirdo because I was hyperventilating and begging him to give me good news.  He relayed the news that out of the 9 retrieved, 6 eggs were mature, all 6 fertilized normally, and all 6 were "dividing beautifully".  He said it will definitely be a 5 day transfer which is fantastic news!  They will call back on Wednesday when they open the incubator again and give me another update of how my babies are growing and give me instructions about our Thursday transfer.

It's a funny feeling knowing we (along with a team of fertility specialists) may have just conceived our entire family and I already feel kind of like a protective mama bear.  I want all my 6 embies to make it, to have a shot.  I feel very strong today and I KNOW this is going to work.  I just have to survive until Thursday.  I'm going to try to keep myself busy with studying and getting things ready to be in bed in for 5 days.  And of course, I will keep praying.

This is what all 6 look like today.  4-cell embies.  They should be 8-cells by Wednesday!
