I had my transfer today. My embie was a 6 cell (decent) with 20 percent fragmentation (not good, but not so bad there's not a chance it will be okay). I'm just relieved it was still growing. So I'm settling in for a long wait. I know I don't have high odds but at least I got to transfer, which given my egg issues is no small achievement.
And apparently I have a "lush, sticky" uterine lining -- 13.5 and perfectly striped the day of trigger -- so it this embie has what it takes to make it there's a snuggly place for it to settle in. :-)
(Edited to put back punctuation the mobile version took out -- I hate Mobile Bump!)
