We still have seven embryos! The one which was lagging behind at 2 cells has now caught up and is 8 cells like almost all the others (the ideal number). A different embryo, however, has arrested at four cells. It may continue to grow, or it may be done.
At this point, statistically, we'll probably have three on Monday. No, we will not transfer all of them! But, I am leaning towards two. We'll make the final decision with the embryologist on Monday. I'll be under anesthesia at 10am, and then off to acupuncture once we are done. Studies show that, for my age group, it raises the odds of implantation to have acupuncture on the day of transfer. We didn't do it last time, but, we have the ability to do it this time, so we will.
I'm just taking this one step at a time. And planning last splurges before I have to do the pregnancy diet. I'm trying to be more removed and take this moment by moment. I was so very sad last time. And I don't know how quickly I would want to share news one way or another this time. It's all so up in the air!
Grow lil embies, grow! Best of luck with your transfer Monday! I'm heading in for retrieval tomorrow, hopefully we'll both be getting our BFPs by next week :)
