The Art of Growing Embryos

We got a call from the Sher Institute this morning around 10:00 a.m. to let us know we still have teeny tiny babies growing in petri dishes! Out of the 6 embryos 2 look great, 2 look good, and 2 look not so good. So right now we are expecting four viable embryos to do a 5-day transfer on Tuesday! Once again, great news! We aren't writing the other 2 off yet as they may still catch up/improve by Tuesday, but we were told to expect 4. If, in fact, it is 4 embryos on Tuesday, our plan is to transfer the 2 best and freeze the other 2. IF somehow one or both of the lesser quality embryos catches up and we have more than 4 to work with, I would like to put 3 back. So that's it for now. We won't get any more phone calls between now and Tuesday unless something unfortunate happens. Our transfer is scheduled for around noon on Tuesday and we will come home early evening on Wednesday. Hopefully we'll have Internet service in the hotel room and I'll be able to post Tuesday night sometime. In the meantime I'm going to be eating two whole/fresh pineapples! The girl I talked to during my immune treatment last Monday who was pregnant with her sister's twins told me pineapples have some certain enzyme in them that's good for implantation. Anything to help the cause!
