Embryo Update

Sunday I woke up feeling REALLY uncomfortable. I still cannot complain though as I wasn't in any real pain at all during or after the procedure so I'll take it!

Day 5:
2 of the embryos are biopsied and frozen because they have already reached the blastocyst stage which is amazing! They are both graded A by SGF which means they appear to be perfect to the embryologist. The 3^rd is still growing so they will check in again tomorrow.

Day 6:

#3 is still growing very slowly. They will give it one more day to see if it reaches blastocyst stage.

Day 7:

#3 didn’t make it to the blastocyst stage.

Overall we ended up with 2 Grade A embryos. I am happy because they couldn’t be more perfect at this point. The biopsied cells are being sent away to be screened doing what is called Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS) Testing. This will test to make sure the embryos are chromosomally normal which rules out a TON of possible issues a child could be born with. We elected to do this at this point because it lowers the chance of miscarriage and will ensure a better chance of a chromosomally normal child.

The results of this test can take anywhere up to 3 weeks. So now we wait and pray!

Next up - waiting for my lovely aunt flo to make a visit so I can start getting my body ready for the embryo transfer!!
