It went fine. We got there, got set up, and the embryologist and the doc (not my usual doc, but I think I liked him better!) came in and gave us a picture and told us they recommended transferring two. We don't have any to freeze today, but might have 1 or 2 tomorrow. As of today there were 8 left of the 18, and 6 are early blasts or morulas that they will look at tomorrow to see if they can be frozen. I wish we had more, but that's the way it goes.
They recommend two not because of the quality (they kept saying how nice they looked), but because we don't have any to freeze TODAY. They like to do eSETs when they know there will be frosties.
Soooooo - we transferred two lovely expanded blasts (grade BB, whatever that means - I don't know their grading system and stringency and didn't even want to ask) and he said there is about a 60% chance of pregnancy and a good chance of twins. (EDITED: Actually, he said there was a 60% chance of a take home baby). I asked if he could compare the quality to the donor's last successful cycle, and he said that he prefers not to do that - for one; every couple is different even with the same donor. Second, he likes to try to preseve anonymity as much as possible.
The transfer went great and he even commented how smooth it was. My beta isn't for another 10 days but I will probably start POAS tomorrow 
Kidding.
So I'm home and planning to be a couch potato until Thursday. Right now I'm trying to convince D to go get me a burrito. Not sure why that sounds so good!
Anyway, if I do this right you will see the pic of the babies 
I hope hope hope hope hope that one (or two!!!) stick around!!
THANK YOU for all of your good wishes. I had on my bracelet from Gretchen and thought about all my friends cheering us on - it meant a lot.

Re: I'm back! Beta 4/17
Yeah!! Glad it went well. Good luck!
CONGRATS Elizabeth!!! Gosh, that just all sounds perfect.
Yay!! I am so glad it went well!!
Sit on the couch, enjoy your burritto and let those little embies snuggle in!!
TTC since 12/06, PCOS w/ Endo & MFI - 3 Laps - 3 IVF's - 1 FET - 1 ectopic - 1 c/p - gearing up for IVF#4
My Fav Thing about Spring is Easter Candy!
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
It sounds like it went great Elizabeth!!! I love your chances, 60% is a nice, reassuring number. The little embies are beautiful and I hope they are snuggling in as we speak. (or type)
Woo hoo! Those two embies look great (I love that they give a pic - my RE does that too and I think it is so cool!) Hopefully you will have a few to freeze tomorrow - but either way you have 2 strong ones inside you now!
Re: POAS - heck....I'd start in a few days if I were you. No trigger to test out, right?!?
Congrats - it has been exciting to "watch" you go through this very exciting journey. Can't wait to hear BFP from you!
I've been waiting for your update all day (I've been going again school rules to look on the bump and to post - I'm such a rebel!!!!).
Your embabies look BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I just KNOW you'll have some frosties tomorrow.
Now you better relax, rest up, and let those little ones snuggle in for nine wonderful months! :-)
Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3 IUI's, 2 IVF's , 1 FET , 1 IVF w/ Gestational Carrier, and 1 FET using adopted embryo's = ALL BFNs

SAIF/PAIF IS ALWAYS WELCOMED TO POST IN MY POSTS!!!
Yay-so exciting! Sounds like things went perfectly.
Rest up now and snuggle in little ones.
I'm so happy all went well with the transfer and I'll be praying you have some frosties tomorrow! Enjoy your time on the couch and resting!
Your babies look beautiful!!!!
Yea!!! Sounds like everything went perfect!!! Your embabies are beautiful! They gave me a pic of them in my uterus (not like you can really see them, but I still enjoy having the ultrasound pic of them!).
Now, go rest up and let DH take good care of you!!!
WISHING YOU LOTS OF LUCK!!!:):)
I'm glad everything went well! Sounds like you have a good chance of getting some frosties as well! I know you were kidding about POAS tomorrow, but does this mean you will be POAS?? YAY!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck! I have everything crossed for a BFP in the next couple of weeks!!!
awww! They are so cute!
Good Luck!
