Embie Update!!

After a pretty much sleepless night, and many nightmares about how our embies were doing, we woke up early Saturday morning to the phone ringing.  I literally jumped out of bed and ran for the phone!  It was the embryologist with an update on our embies.  To our surprise, she said that 4 more eggs had fertilized since the first update, bringing the total number of eggs to 15.  The late fertilizers have a lot of fragmentation, so they probably won’t make it, but it was still a nice thing to hear, especially after dreaming that there were none.  She said that of the original 11, 9 of them are doing really well, and look exactly how they want them to look on day 3.  We were so relieved! Still a ways to go, but we enjoy celebrating each milestone!

So, we’re all set for our embryo transfer tomorrow.  They will be transferring the best 2 embryos we have, and they’ll be freezing the others make it.  Unfortunately, Anthony cannot come with me this time.  We’re super bummed because I’ve heard from so many that the transfer is such an amazing experience.   I am leaving in the morning to make the drive up there, and I’m going to stay in a hotel in Birmingham tomorrow to relax a day before heading back home.  I will update you all tomorrow evening on how everything goes!!

Wish me luck!! We need your prayers now, more than ever!!
