Embabies are on board

This morning we had our transfer and all went well. 

I was not surprised to hear that we had an embryo to transfer, but I was quite surprised to hear that all 5 were still growing, looking good and no signs of fragmentation. 

Maybe this time it will work.

We had 2 x 7 cell embryos, 1 x 9 cell, 1 x 10 cell and 1 x 12 cell. We opted to put back 2 so I assumed it would be the 10 and 12 cell ones. However my embryologist said her pick was the 9 and 10 cell ones. On day 3, she likes to see them between 8 and 10 cells. She explained that the 12 cell one was developing a little too quickly and might burn out a little later on.

So we transferred our 9 and 10 cell embryos. I have decided to call one peanut and will let Flex Thunderstache name the other. (Unsure if this is a good idea, could be interesting!)

The other 3 embryos remain in culture in the lab, being grown for another couple of days to see if they make it to day 5. On Tuesday we will get an update call letting us know how the remaining 3 got on and if they are suitable for freezing.

So now we are back in that all too familiar place of waiting. Once we get the results, I will update you all once we are ready to share the outcome.

Here are our 2 little embabies
