Transfer Complete!

This morning, when the clinic called, they had one 5-cell embryo and one 7-cell embryo so the plan, at that time, was to transfer the 7-cell embryo. But within 6 hours, just before transfer, the 5-cell embryo had grown to 8-cells and the 7-cell embryo was still at 7-cells so the decision was made to transfer the one 8-cell embryo.

This is the 7-cell embryo that they will grow out to day 5 or 6 to see if they can freeze it...more on that later this week!

Both the 7-cell and 8-cell embryos looked great but since the 8-cell had a recent "growth spurt", it was decided that it would be a better choice.

The transfer itself was easy and "perfect", Dr. L was able to place the embryo exactly where he wanted it. They did do assisted hatching beforehand so hopefully the embryo will hatch out of its shell over the next few days and find a nice place to snuggle in for 9 months!

I return for a blood pregnancy test on September 7th!
