Blasting Off.
Tomorrow is scheduled to be transfer day. I got the call from the nurse yesterday to show up at 2:30pm and to keep taking the tetracycline. No other information. I have no idea how many of the original 17 fertilized embryos are still growing, dividing and thriving. I’m just hoping that at least 2 of them make it ‘til tomorrow afternoon.
They should right? I figure, even if 50% failed to make it to day 3, that left 8 on Thursday – so if another 50% fail to make it through tomorrow, that should still leave 4 to choose from. Of course I know that things could still go horribly awry and I could still end up with nothing to transfer. But NBHHY.
The main advantage for me, as I see it, in doing a blastocyst transfer as opposed to a three day embryo transfer, is that my embryos will be entering the uterus in the same developmental stage as they would have been had we conceived through sex. I just figure my embryos will be coming in through the garage instead of the front door. Either way, they’re still coming home. Please let it be for a long, long stay.

If they let you got to blastocyst, then you had at least 8 on Thursday, so you will have some great ones to choose from. Will be thinking about you tomorrow.
blastocyst is most DEFINITELY an advantage. for replacement and for freezing. things are lookin good! good luck tomorrow and enjoy your rest period. :)
Best of luck to you both!
Like the others said.. Blast is the way to go if you can. I will be keeping everything crossed!
Mellie..good luck tomorrow..I will be thinking of you. I hope that the embryos will be comfortable in their new home for the next 9 months! Hugs!
The garage door! You are too funny. I'll be thinking about you tomorrow, and your little embies sitting on a nice surfboard.
It sounds like this cycle is going very well. Good luck with the transfer tomorrow. I will be thinking of you.
With that many embies, you should have a nice selection of high quality 3 to 5 day olds. I will be waiting with baited breath to hear in 10 days or so if all worked out. :)
Good luck, will be eager to hear how it goes tomorrow.
Best of luck tomorrow and in the days to come!
Good luck today Mellie!!!
I think you'll have some to transfer and maybe even some to freeze. Good luck!
Mellie..just want to drop you a line and say I was thiking of you and I hope the transfer went well today...now go relax and take care of yourself! Hugs!
I hope all went smoothly today!
Tomorrow was yesterday, and I'm on pins and needles to hear how many, and what's what.
Good luck Mellie.
