Today I was on my back deck hanging laundry( sunny day= time to do the wash, to me). I looked down at our pond to see if I could find the fish I put in there on Thursday. They've been eluding me, so much that I thought they'd been eaten. But, from the stairs I could see the golden orange glint of them, swimming around, swiftly and all together. It made me super-cheery. I tried to count them, it took a minute, but I finally was able to count and recount. Seven.
Because everything these days is about IVF, I immediately thought, "That means we will have seven embryos still growing today." and then felt foolish.
I got the call 2 hours later.
We have 7 embryos growing!!!
They are all 4 cell, and I didn't know exactly what that meant, but the nurse said, "We like to see them at 2-4, so it is very good."
They have me scheduled for a 5 day transfer. That means that on Thursday I will be going in for Embryo Transfer.
I asked her if our lone "natural" fertilized one is still going and she said it is. Very cool.
Yay seven!
