Embryo Transfer!

Well, today we transferred 2 beautiful embryo's!!!

This was a 5 day transfer. One embryo made it to the Blastocyst - Grade 1 and the other is a Morula - Grade 2. Our Reproductive Endocrinologist uses a grading scale of 1 to 3 with 1 being excellent, 2 equals average and 3 is poor! We are very excited to have transferred the 2 embryo's.

After our Egg Retrieval, we received our fertilization report 2 days later. Of the 12 eggs retrieved, 11 were mature and 10 fertilized. We were thrilled to be parents of Dectuplets. The Embryologist warned us that due to the number of eggs that fertilized there was a possibility that we might do a 6 day transfer instead of the planned 5 day transfer. On the day before our 5 day transfer, the embryologist called and confirmed that we would do a 5 day transfer but that it would be in the late afternoon.

At the time of our embryo transfer, we had a 3rd Morula that was a Grade 3 and the remainder of the 10 appeared to be slowing down or had arrested. We hope to freeze at least the one embryo and pray that a few of the others will make it to the Blastocyst stage.
