Just shy of three weeks ago we were here:
And then this morning...
So this morning, we transferred two day-five blastocysts, both having come through their preimplantation genetic diagnosis looking great! And then a third blast also came through PGD looking great, so that one is all set to be frozen for a future cycle, and there is one other blast that they sent off for testing this morning, and if that one looks good, they'll freeze that one as well! Beyond that, there are two iffy embryos that don't look promising, but that are still growing, so my RE will keep an eye on them as well.
This news was a huge relief after last night, when I got an email from Dr. Morris telling me that three embryos had reached blastocyst stage and were sent off for genetic testing, but that they may or may not have results in time for my transfer. I was terrified that they wouldn't be ready and we'd have to wait....or that none of them would look good after genetic testing.
But yay! Two embryos transferred, one frozen, and a second one with potential for freezing.
Transfer itself was easy (definitely more excitement than anxiety)!. The only problem was that they use ultrasound during the transfer which meant that I needed to have a full bladder...and I might have overdone it a little and had to pee so bad that my poor bladder actually HURT. Whoops. But a small price to pay.
So now we wait... :)

| So many meds! |
 |
| Needles... |
 |
| And vials, and a sharps container... |
 |
| And an injection pen... |
And then this morning...
 |
| Matt looks like an astronaut... |

| And we are all smiley as we head in for our embryo transfer!! |
