Embryo Transfer Date 12-4-10

Well as usual I'm a little behind on posting. I actually got a call on Thursday, two days before the transfer. They had opened the incubator and were giving me status on the embryos so that we could decide how many we wanted to put in and how many we wanted to freeze (if they were to the stage they could be frozen). Remember the scale is 1 is the best and 4 is the worst. On Thursday we had 4 level 2's, 4 level 3's, and 1 level 4. After talking to Dr. Kristiansen, we decided to put in the best 4 again.

We got to the office Saturday morning, and at that point, the embryos had not been doing as well as they had on Thursday. At that point there was just 1 level 2, and 8 level 3's (the only one that actually improved was surprisingly the level 4). Anyway, we did the transfer and headed home. At that point the remaining 5 embryos were not to the blastocyst stage, so they could not be frozen yet. The lab would continue to watch and they would either stop growing or make it to that stage and be able to be frozen. I just heard from the office that they did not make it, so again we were not able to freeze any embryos. So...the pressure is really on and it is going to be a long two weeks. Last sperm sample and still no frozen embryos. We're pulling for the 4 guys that got transferred Saturday morning :)
