Okay - so we transferred 1 extended blastocyst today. The Embryologist really liked it, and said it had already collapsed and expanded which is a really good sign.
Not knowing what that actually means, I found this fantastic explanation of embryo growth and development and the beginning stages.
The Ebryologist also gave him a grade of 19/20. This is great . . . but I can not find any online reference as to what it means. But there's no fragmentation!
Here's Lil' Buddy!
My beta (blood test) is on September 12th. I think I may actually wait for that blood test instead of having my GP order one - I seem to be handling this cycle better than the first, so we shall see. But I'll still start peeing on things this coming weekend . . . or maybe tomorrow, to test out my trigger shot, ofcourse.
So I took it easy today - we set up movies in the bedroom (which is a huge no-no usually) so I can lay back and relax in the air conditioning. DH too, and I'm impressed he stuck it out. He hates sitting still.
Unfortunately, things went a little awry today. In saying that what I actually mean is - I pooped. A lot. I avoided "pushing" but I hated having to! I was hoping to stay away from the toilet as much as possible today. No matter what all the doctors say, I'm just not comfortable with the idea. But there was no spotting so that's a good sign.
I really hope this Lil Buddy sticks and stays.
Stick & Stay.
Stick & Stay.
Stick & Stay.
Stick & Stay.
Good night!
Good luck! He looks like a good little embie. :)
