So we made to day 3 transfer yesterday, but when we arrived we found that none of our 4 embies were doing very well. Because of this RE recommended transferring all 4, so that's what we did. Two of them were 6-cell with a fair amount of fragmentation and two were 4-cell with less fragmentation, but clearly a bit behind. Please send any sticky embie vibes that you can spare as this is not the quality we were hoping for. I'm feeling a bit discouraged about this working because we've had better quality embies for transfer in the past. I fear this 2ww is going to be brutal...

Oh crud! So sorry that they weren't doing better -- they were obviously already being insolent LOs and ignoring all the growing vibes headed their way! FX that they are simply ugly ducklings and, now that they are inside your cozy ute, they are demonstrating their superior snuggling abilities.
I'm sending tons of sticky, snuggly vibes your way, k8tee! FX that the 2ww goes quickly for you. This last week of mine has been pretty brutal. If you ever feel like ranting about yours, please feel free to PM me...I'll be more than willing to listen and provide an abundance of sympathy! Take care of yourself!

Praying unceasingly for a miracle. ALL welcome!
Thanks for the support Liz! I appreciate it more than you know. I totally owe you an email, too. The last few days have been kind of hectic...
Thanks for making me laugh Joules! I really hope that you're right and this is just my first parenting challenge!!
I'm so sorry your 2ww has been rough. For some reason the 2ww seems to get worse with each cycle (for me at least). I'm so praying for a nice strong positive beta for you tomorrow! Good luck!!
Don't you worry about it one bit. I understand. Just take it easy being PUPO.
