I'm pretty happy with my little eggs sitting in the lab over there. They've been busy little buggers and all 8 have divided to over 6 cells which, according to the embryologist, is exactly what they should be doing. I had to ask for more clarification and the run down is.
5 eggs are at 8 cell stage - these are the overachievers. the good bunch.
1 egg has 7 cells - i think it can't decide what to do.
2 eggs have 6 cells - still ok but i'd rather bet on one of my 5 overachievers.
The embryologist then reminded me about the drop off. Even with this good result on day 3, the drop off rate after this is pretty big, which i know. I mean, after 6 cycles, a total of 49 eggs ever, i only have ever had that 1 beautiful, perfect star that became my darling daughter. But now i'm just gonna be happy with what i have. And given the numbers, the odds are much better than last time.
I've been scheduled for transfer at 2.15pm Monday (Sydney time) so if you happen to remember me at exactly that time, please say a little prayer for whatever or whomever they are squirting up me.
Holy crap! This might actually work! But let's not get ahead of ourselves. The road ahead is pregnant with unpredictability, dangerous turns, complications... or perhaps joy!
