Had the transfer yesterday at about 1:30.
We transferred two of our three embryos (our RE planned to transfer all three and I refused - not willing to have triplets. :)
Both embryos were Grade 2 (where Grade 1 is perfect, but the success rates are the same)- at 9:30am one was a 5-cell and one was converting into a morula, but by the time of transfer both were converting, which is great.
The third embryo was a 9-cell grade 3 embryo on its Day 2 (since it matured after retrieval it's one day behind). We'll let it grow to its Day 5 and if it makes it, freeze it.
Spent the afternoon on the couch yesterday, reading, and watching Gossip Girl. Slept well and now have two lazy days mostly at home (acupuncture this afternoon).
We've controlled all the variables we can -- now we just wait. First beta is November 17. :)
My husband and I started trying to have a baby in 2007. We ended up doing 5 rounds of IVF with our own eggs, miscarrying twice due to chromosomal abnormalities, and then moved to donor eggs. Our son was born in 2012. After two unexplained miscarriages trying for a sibling, we found a gestational surrogate, who carried our second son (2015) and our daughter (2018).
Welcome home my dear PUPO.
