Don't miss the pics below...
I was talking with Shawn earlier and said, "I wonder how our babies are doing." Ha ha! He informed me that they are not really babies yet. I told him we need to have fun with this instead of being so serious about it. I asked him, "What kind of parents are we leaving our babies in Indy all alone?" I told Shawn we have 11 kids at the moment. We have Zac, Abby, Lucy, and 8 fertilized zygotes. Shawn just shook his head and told me not to get attached, we are not going to have "20 Kids and Counting". Haha! Since eight of the eggs fertilized, several people have teased us that we are going to be the next octomom. Um, no! LOL! We're not crazy! We just want 1.
We've been asked questions, so I am going to answer them below.
1.) How long before they put them back in me?
Our Dr. does a 5 day transfer, making it Tuesday. Some Reproductive Endocrinologists (RE) do 3 day transfers.
2.) How many are we going to put back in?
That all depends upon how viable they are. The morning of day 5, they grade the blastocysts. We will probably pick the 2 most viable ones, but we'll see when the time comes. Here is more information on grading embryos: http://www.fertilityproregistry.com/content/embryo-grading.asp
3.) What are we doing with the extra embryos?
If we're lucky and there are some other "healthy" ones, we will have them frozen.
That's all I can think of for now, but if you have any questions, let me know!
Have a great weekend!
