Day 2 After Egg Retrieval

After stressing out all day, waiting for the phone to ring, I got the call I was waiting for!  Dr. Wilshire's office does a 3 point scale from1 to 3, with 1 being the best.  As I stated yesterday, at 48 hours, the embryos should have about 4 cells.  Here are our results:

 

3 embryos have 4 cells and are Grade 1

1 embryo has 5 cells and is Grade 1

1 embryo has 6 cells and is Grade 1

1 embryo has 3 cells and is Grade 1

 

So 6 perfect embryos!!!  YAY!  I'm SOO excited!  Unfortunately, the other three embryos arrested to develop. Because so many embryos were considered perfect today, my embryo transfer will definitely be on Friday.  The nurse will call me to tomorrow to let me know how they are doing.  Now we just have to hope that they continue to grow and develop normally and that we don't lose any more along the way.
