Embryo update

This morning I got the call from our embryologist. Out of the 13 eggs collected, 7 were mature and 5 have fertilised normally.

Good news!

The next decision to make is do we do a day 3 transfer or a day 5 transfer. 

For the first 2 rounds we opted for day 5 and then had nothing to transfer.

The third round we did a day 3 transfer and I did fall pregnant for a few weeks.

As soon as we have a transfer, that is the end of our public funding so I was leaning towards a day 5 transfer, however, our Dr explained that if we have a good quality embryo on day 3 but wait to day 5, and it doesn't make it to day 5, it would be unlikely that we would get any more public funding anyway.

So the decision that I thought would be difficult was actually quite easy. We will do a day 3 transfer (Saturday) If we have 2 good embryos, we will transfer them both like last time. 

They embryologist explained that they would only transfer 2 embryos if we had 2 good quality ones. They wont transfer a good quality one with a poor quality one, as if one embryo/fetus dies, it is quite possible it will take the healthy one with it.

So we only have 1 more day to wait, then we have a transfer, then the 2 week wait begins and then we will know if we will be a family with human babies or a family with just 2 gorgeous dogs.
