We received word this morning from Dr.Samit. After three
days of growth in the lab, we had a total of 12 embryos that have divided. We knew
there would be a few embryos that would fall behind after slow growth. Never
the less we are so happy and blessed that so many took. Out of the 12 embryos
here is the breakdown on count and grade:
Embryos:
4 –Grade A
4- Grade B
3- Grade C
1- Grade D
The transfer took place
yesterday (02/01) morning. Dr.Samit has transferred five embryos as permitted
by law. Three were grade “A” and two were grade”B”. The remaining seven embryos have now been
frozen for future use.
We are now at the “waiting game” stage. Kevin and I are extremely
nervous and excited at once. This is so surreal to us both. We both prayed this
evening. As for me…I’ve been praying for this for a very long time. Tears, lots
of happy tears from us both today. Again, we are both overwhelmed with joy and anticipation.
We can hardly contain ourselves.
We have kept our journey into IVF to a minimal with friends
and some family. Before we begin to formally share and celebrate the coming of
our family, we want to be sure this will become a strong healthy pregnancy. I
never quit understood why expecting parents wait till they’ve reached the end
of the first trimester to announce their pregnancy. I understand now. Kevin now
feels that talking about it too much will jinks the transfer. I couldn’t
disagree.
Honestly, this waiting
period will probably strip what little sleep we do get now. It too will occupy
every thought, reach every breath and turn us into paranoid freaks over the
next several weeks. Having android phones will become a hinder for access to
our email day and night. Waiting for that email to come through to tell us we
are pregnant. I filled with so much happiness I feel like I’m going to burst! I
pray that the Lord gives us patience and guidance these next few weeks.
