Vote for my embryo!

We transferred one AA blastocyst this morning.  They froze 5 today and are keeping an eye on several others, which will be frozen or discarded tomorrow.

And now we wait.

I'm going to try to put a picture in this post but my success rate with PIPs has been historically bad, so it might take me a few tries.

    I'm in love.

    And ignorant. What's AA? The first thing I thought was African American, which is OH SO SILLY. *FACEPALM*

    ETA, just so it's said, everything is crossed for you. Everything.

    One letter refers to the fragmentation (you want as little as possible) and the other refers to the inner cell mass (you want it tightly packed).  In both cases, A is the highest rating.  AA is as good as it gets.

    Thanks for crossing everything!

    You're in a better spot than we were at this point!  Ours were both early blastocyst and couldn't be graded.  Good luck to you!!
