I got the call this morning from the lab.
Of our 14 eggs that they collected, 9 were mature.
Of those 9, 7 have fertilized.
So we have 7 little embryos, that will spend the next 5 days developing hopefully into what is called a blastocyst. (A blastocyst is an embryo that has been developing for 5 days)
On Monday they will transfer the blastocyst into my womb. Hopefully we will have more than 1 blastocyst and the remaining one(s) can be frozen for later use. Statistically speaking, I would expect maybe 2-4 of the fertilized embryos to make it to the blastocyst stage.
This is such a numbers game!
So now we wait.
Again.
There is lots of waiting in the IVF process.
Much love,
Alana, Flex and Frankie Xxx
