We still have all 15 progressing as of the 72 hour mark! There are 13 As and Bs and 2 Cs in the bunch. That is better than we had ever hoped for! Our doc and the embryologist are very pleased to see that the 15 are still moving forward and that we have produced what seem to be structurally high quality embryos. Of course, that doesn't mean anything with regards to genetic content, but the plan is to send half out today for PGD with results by Monday (Day 5) and to send the other half out on Monday for results by Tuesday (Day 6).
From the first round sent out today, if there are any good ones, we will transfer on Tuesday. If there are no chromosomally normal ones from the first batch, we will wait for results from the second batch and potentially transfer on Wednesday. They are pushing really hard for a transfer this cycle and I am getting the feeling they do not want to freeze any if they can help it. Regardless, we will only be transferring one at a time, as I have a strong feeling that I will be able to support a pregnancy and that my only issue is related to the chromosomes.
So I have 15 embryos- there has to be one little superstar in there, right?! There has to be one perfect little embryo out of the bunch just itching to implant. I know my stats are 5-10% so we are being very realistic about this and expecting 0 or 1 to come back normal from the total. If there are no normal ones from this batch, I would think that if we went through IVF Round 2 and got another 15 embryos there would have to be one in there.
As you know, I hate statistics, especially my personal statistics, but I still believe in them! I believe in us and we are so positive and full of hope right now. Not to mention, full of fluid. Someone needs to pop me like a balloon.
