Here’s what my Embryos look like today compared to yesterday:
|
Embryo #: |
Day Two Report |
Day Three Report |
| 1 |
2 cell, no fragmentation |
4 cell, no fragmentation |
| 2 | 2 cell, no fragmentation | 4 cell, no fragmentation |
| 3 | 2 cell, no fragmentation | 4 cell, no fragmentation |
| 4 | 2 cell, no fragmentation | 3 cell, 15% fragmentation |
| 5 | 4 cell, no fragmentation | 4 cell, no change |
| 6 | 4 cell, no fragmentation | 4 cell, no change |
| 7 | 4 cell, no fragmentation | 4 cell, no change |
| 8 | 4 cell, no fragmentation | 6 cell, uneven growth – not looking great. |
So … pretty good. We can probably say goodbye to #4 and #8. But that leaves us with 6 embryos with good potential. There’s some concern about #’s 5-7, but they still have time to continue growing. Embryos 1-3 had a slow start, but they clearly got the message that they should get a move on. I’ll get a call tomorrow with more news and a time for Saturday’s transfer.
And then on Saturday I’ll probably get a call moving my transfer to Sunday, just for kicks. 😉 I told that to my nurse while saying, “I hate to be such an optimist and all, but…” and she said, “Yeah, but you know, when you’ve been around the block a few times, you know how this works.” It’s all good. So far, the news is far better than IVF#1’s embryology reports were. Why, these are downright positive embryology reports!
