Going for the Gusto

We received our call this morning from the lab, we have 6 great embryos, all 8 cells (what they should be).  They are letting it ride another 2 days for a day 5/ blast transfer.  My nerves are reved up.  Its a gamble at this point.  Not that it is not a gamble to do a day 3 transfer, but there is a chance you will have less to maybe even none on day 5 to transfer.  The debate is whether those would have made it in the uterus had they been transferred on day 3 (so they didn't make it because of lab conditions) or were they just not going to make it anyway, anywhere and its a natural progression of things.

Yes, I realize all of this is more than I need to be worried about.  In fact, I shouldn't be worried at all.  They know what they are doing and they wouldn't have waited until day 5 if they weren't confident there would be at least 1-2 to transfer on Wednesday.  So, 2 more days without my embies.  I know they are in good hands, and hopefully I'll see them bright and early Wednesday morning! 

Grow embies, grow!
