The Eagles have landed...

that's what we are calling our little 8-cell embabies that we transfered today...the little eagles.  they landed back in my uterus today for a three day transfer.  the embryologist told us that the little eagles had no fragmentation and were very symmetrical and the doc said that everything looked good.  we are hopeful.  we have another 6 embryos that are still growing in the lab. wait, 6+2=8 and i said that we had 7 fertilized...well, it looks like one more caught up, which is exciting.  i'm not gonna lie, i was so nervous that they would call this morning nd say that there were no embryos left.  i couldnt be happier that we had 2 perfect little eagles that landed today and another 6 still growing.  my clinic does a 3 day transfer whenver they are able to distinguish the very best embryos from the pack, so thats where we are now.  i guess if i'm totally honest, i was hoping for a 5 day transfer, but it feels reaally good to have my embabies back home.  plus, i can finally relax (who am i kidding, right?) but we made it through all of the steps of ivf...suppression, stims, retrieval, transfer...now only one more hurdle to cross...beta on february 10th.  for now i'm pregnant with twins, resting comfortably on bestrest, and happy and thankful to be right here where i am right now!!

  3. Hoping your eagles decide to stick around for a long and healthy 9 months. 8 cells is great, sounds like you had some amazing embryos to put back. Thinking of you and hoping you have some things to keep you busy during your 2ww. Pinterest is a great distraction!

  4. It's probably a typo but I like how you called it "bestrest." I hope it is the best rest you've ever had, in more ways than one!
