Here's the latest... they were able to get 8 oocytes out, 7 were good enough to fertilize and 6 did. So we have 6 embryos "cooking" in the lab. We are pleased. The embryoloist called with the update and explained that they would look at them on Monday morning. If they looked "fantastic" (her words) then they would let them cook a little longer and go for a day 5 (blast) transfer on Wednesday. If they were less than "fantastic" then they would go ahead with transfer on Monday at 10am. Either is fine with us. We are just happy at this point we have something to put back in.
It is such a numbers obsession with me and this whole IVF thing. I guess more = better. More oocytes = more embryos = more chance of a baby (now or with FET). Do we need more embryos after this IVF, no. All we really want is to get our little baby and not have to argue about the left overs (DH is DONE. Me, I could definitely see saying we should just put the left overs in later down the road and see what happens... no expectations). The perfect scenario would be to have 2 blasts on day 5, no left overs, get pregnant and be done. But, as I've learned, nothing is perfect.
I'm going to try to live in today, which is a whole day before any further information. I can't change anything today and I'm going to try not to worry about tomorrow. I'm praying for my patience and peace about this and praying for my little embies in the lab. More news tomorrow!
