Embryos on Board January 29, 2006
I was pretty nervous waiting to find out what we had left embryo-wise while we sat and waited our turn to talk to the RE this morning. It turns out that things worked out pretty well.
10 of our embryos made it to blast. 3 were good quality advanced blasts. One was an advanced blast that wasn’t great quality. 6 were early blasts.
The 3 high quality advanced ones were obviously the ones that we would transfer. The poor quality one won’t make it to freeze, but they will watch the 6 early blasts until tomorrow, and we’re hoping at least a couple of those will make it to the deep freeze.
The transfer itself went fine given the cervix circumstances. The anesthesiologist took absolutely forever to get my IV started, though. Absolute torture. He tried my hand and then my wrist and finally resorted to using my arm.
My RE checked for signs of OHSS on ultrasound, and I had a little free fluid behind my uterus but not so much to cause concern.
So, the plan is for me just to chill at the hotel today and then Dan and I will make the trip back home tomorrow. Hopefully by then we will know if any of our other blasts were able to be frozen.

3 good blasts are awesome! I’m glad things went well despite the IV problems and that it appears the OHSS has been held at bay. But god…that means the freaking 2ww is next. I’m hoping like hell this good news continues to the very end.
YEAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Phew!! One more obstacle overcome and things are looking good….actually dare I say “great”?!
I know you’ve still got PIO to deal with and the 2ww but at least it should feel good to stop doing all that traveling. Maybe you can actually get a little rest now. You’ve got to be exhausted at this point!
Staci
That’s great! I am keeping my fingers crossed for the EOBs.
Great news! I’m crossing my fingers you get something good to freeze, too.
Wahoo! 3 on board and some to freeze. I’m so happy for you. So, two torturous weeks?
You have good chances here! I’m routing for the three.
All the best to you, Amanda.
3 good blasts is fabulous. You made some beautiful embryos, the two of you.
Oh that’s the best possible news!! Yay! Fingers are crossed for you!!
Oh Amanda, I’m so happy for you. So many things are going well this cycle- I really hope its the one that works. Sending prayers and crossing everything for you.
Wonderful news, Amanda. I’m keeping everything crossed that three’s the charm! Wow do I hope this works out — I’d be over the moon for you two.
I’ve got everything crossed for you.
That’s great Amanda. I hope you are resting comfortably after the IV ordeal. Hopefully you’ll have some embryos to freeze.
Wonderful! Three blasts sounds perfect. Keeping fingers, toes and eyes crossed for you right now.
In the home stretch now. Great, just great GREAT news. So freaking pleased for you.
Whoooo Hooooo! So glad you’re past that hurdle.
So hoping that this is the one.
Yeah! That sounds great. Rest up, and have a safe trip today.
WOW - I’m so glad everything is ok so far and no sign of overstim! Keeping my fingers triple crossed over here! (and that’s quite a feat in an of itself!)
This cycle has been a pretty good one, eh? Lets hope for some more good news.
Awesome news so far! Will wait impatiently for more of the same in another week and a half.
Thinking of you with fingers crossed!
One more hurdle down. And your blasts sound mighty fine.
