I called my RE again.. several times. I was super confused. It was my understanding that, if we didn't have 4+ on day 3, we'd transfer at Day 3. But the embryologist told me yesterday that they wouldn't look at our little guys until tomorrow, which is day 3. So how would we know if we need to come in? Maybe we misunderstood and he meant if we had 4+ fertilized? They currently have us scheduled for a day 5 blast transfer.
I spoke with the embryologist. She can't take them out to assess their quality or viability, because that would change the ph and could hurt them. But she was able to tell me that they were all still there and had divided. So we've just got to keep hoping that they continue developing and stay strong to Day 5. Fingers crossed.

Stay strong little embryos! Hope that you get your questions cleared up and that the next few days go by quickly for you LMC!

67 minutes. I can call in 67 minutes to get my day 3 report. I probably will have to wait for a call back. I want to throw up.

ALSO. GUYS. CAN I BITCH? My ass hurts SO BAD. DH is doing a really great job with the shots and it never hurts when he does it. However, for 48 hours after, whichever side he stabs, my ass muscle hurts SO BAD.

Sorry your ass hurts. I would be calling them multiple times already to get results. I am not patient.

Sorry about your ass. Have you tried a heating pad? Not yet. I have to see if we have one. My poor bum.

Time is crawwwwling. And it's worse knowing that I won't get anyone on the phone right away.

They're all there and they're beautiful. I can't stop crying.

I'm still shaking. I just had to get my 10-minute cry out.
They're all there.
Rated: 5B two at 6B two at 8B
Candidly, I don't really know what this means. Hopefully the 5 continues to develop more, but the internet tells me that 6B and 8B are really good and that embryologists don't often give out As. I can't believe this.

I AM STILL SHAKING.
It sounds like the 5B might not be developing at the right rate. But at worst it sounds like we have 4 that are developing well. I am so fucking relieved.

@lolo - Yes, that's my understanding. So they want it between 6-8, so 5 isn't great, but the internet tells me that doctors have seen 5-cell embryos that develop into amazing blasts at day 5... but also that there are some great 8-cells that fart out and don't divide any further, so that wasn't a real helpful read. But we've got 5 that are still there. At least one of these guys is going to make it and be beautiful, I just know it. engr0308 - I actually did a few squats yesterday right after, but not very many. Maybe I'll make DH massage my bum.

I'm so damn excited for you. The internet also tells me that day 5 transfer is the best. YOU'VE GOT THIS. We just have to keep hoping that they keep developing. Even perfect ones at Day 3 aren't guaranteed to make it to Day 5, but we've got five chances. Someone will make it! (PLEASE SOMEONE MAKE IT)

(PLEASE SOMEONE MAKE IT) THEY WILL MAKE IT. They have to. The whole internet is rooting them on and they have magical loving embryologists taking good care of them. GROW BABY BLASTS! PS January 21 is a very lucky day for your transfer. That's the day I got my BFP with Tidbit. HOLY SHIT! That is definitely a sign!!!!!!!!

I am so freakin' excited up here!!!! (and I'm totally in awe of the process, btw) When McBaby is pushing all your buttons as a hormonal teenager you'll be able to call them a literal PITA after this experience! Heat and a bum massage sound like the order of the day. haha when I posted on GBCN Sunday disappointed with my mature egg numbers, one poster said "Hey, if it makes you feel better, I only had one fertilized egg and he is really getting on my nerves today." I laughed really hard.
This process is fascinating, isn't it?! It's scary to think that if we didn't live in this time, J and I might not have kids at all. Hoping for our miracle science baby!
We're going out to dinner tonight (I wanted something good to celebrate being done with stims, etc. but didn't want to risk going out tomorrow and having an upset stomach from anything on Thursday transfer date), and I think I may just treat myself to what I hope will be my last glass of wine for a VERY long time!

Don't mind me I'm just over here doing an excited dance jig thing.
And the shit people used to die from. Hell a UTI was deadly before antibiotics! So glad to be in this time period.
