Waiting for the Embie report

Waiting for this call was agonizing! I couldn't believe how long the day seemed until I got the call. I was on strict orders to not do anything and continue to eat the protein and drink Gatorade..to the point that the sight of any of it made me sick. Transferring was still in question, and I wanted to get to that day so badly I did exactly what I was told.

The first report: August 8, 09

How many fertilized, that was the question.

So out of 19 eggs this is what we got:

4 immature... =(

11 fertilized, with ICSI and out of those 8 were normal.

So we have 8! And now we wait some more!

Next evening they call with an update: August 9, 09

2 grade A 4-3 cell

4 grade B 4-2 cell

2 lagging behind, but still watching them.

Next night: August 10, 09

2 A 8-6 cell

4 B 8-6 cell

1 C 4 cell

1 D 3 cell

August 11, 09

I go in to get the okay for transfer the next morning, she said YES! I was so happy!
They also gave me a report that morning, it was the first day I didn't have to wait.

2 A Morulas

1 B 8 cell

The rest were slower 6-8 cell and the C and D had basically no hope.

So next comes the big decision.

How many do we transfer? Yikes, I wanted the RE to make that decision.
