Hello guys - I just wanted to let you know where things stand.  Monday was my egg retrieval, they were able to get to 14 of them and remove them.  Of those removed, 8 of them fertilized.  So at yesterday's update I have 2 that are grade 3 and are 8 celled.  2 that are grade 3 and 7 celled and then there are two that are grade 2 and one is 5 celled and one is 6 celled.

Transfer is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 9:30 and then I have bedrest.  I am very excited and I really hope this works.  I really don't want to do this again next month...

I don't much about grade and celled but I just wanted to say how great it was that 8 fertilized. I wish you all the best on your transfer tomorrow and pray for a sticky bean!

Thanks.  From what they tell me they grade the embryos from 1-4  4-being the best according to maturity and quality.  Then as they divided they called me every day to let me know how they were doing.  I believe they wanted them to be 10 celled before the transfer and they said they aren't bothering them today they're letting them incubate for the big day tomorrow.

We said no more than 4 but the doctor will tell us in the morning for sure what the number will be.

Its over my head too, they just tell me every day where to go and what to do and I do it.  So far so good.
