OMG! back from ET!!!!

CharBartCharBart
in TTC after 35

We went in today and found out that all 8 embryos are still growing!!! I almost started crying right there! We had 1 quality 1, 5 quality 2, 2 quality 3, and 1 7 cell quality 2. My RE was truly happy and the lab tech couldn't believe when she checked on them this morning that they were still going strong! My old lady ovaries did good!

We decide to put 4 in...based on my age and my FSH.  We decided to be aggressive as opposed to conservative.  I am so excited to see that they did so well!! Now I just need them to stick!!!

Praying for sticky embies!

    Nope not at all :)

    My lab grades the embryos from 1 to 5...1 being the best and 5 being the worst.  At day 3 they should have 8 cells so my 1 at 7 cells was a little behind the others.  Some labs use a lettering system like A or B, it just depends on what they prefer to use. I know that one of the things they look at is fragmentation when they do the grading, I'm sure one of the other ladies on here can explain it way better than I can.
