All 7 are dividing

The nurse said this morning that all seven embryos are dividing like they should be! I asked her if some were not looking as good or at different stages and she said no they all are dividing like they should be thus far and they will keep an eye on them overnight and in the morning and she will call me tomorrow morning. She said to plan on a five day transfer and my nurse Tammy would be calling me tomorrow or Tuesday to set everything up. I am thankful that she calls me early in the morning so I don't have to deal with my nerves all day waiting for a call, like I have many other time in this process.

I pasted a copied something from my friend Beth's blog to show you what stages and how they should be looking each day leading up to the transfer day. (Hope you don't mind Beth)


Day 0
Egg retrieval Sperm collection and preparation Insemination
Day 1
Check eggs for fertilization (the presence of two pronuclei or PN's)
Day 2
Embryos at the 4-cell or more stage of development
Day 3
Embryos at the 8-cell or more stage of development
Day 4
Embryos at the compacted morula (16-32 cell) stage
Day 5
Embryos at the blastocyst stage of development

We are at Day 2 today and everything is looking good. Every time the nurse calls the first thing she asks me is how I am doing with my recovery, body ect., which don't get me wrong is very nice but I just want to get to the good stuff tell me about my embies!!

Last night was my first progesterone oil shot and it went a lot better than I expected. I did ice for like 20 minutes this time though so I was counting on being pretty numb and I barely felt a thing! Although, this morning I woke up and my leg felt like lead. Since I cannot seem to sleep in late anymore, Brad got up and brought me our heating pad, all my pills I have to take in the morning, my Bible and devotional, cell phone, crackers and water to take with my meds and the labtop. Aw, what a great hubby I have!! :)
