Four growing embryos!

We received our fertilization report this morning ... of the eight eggs, six were mature and four fertilized normally. That means we have four embryos growing!! 

While we'd love more, we're just hoping and praying that they continue to grow and stay strong until Wednesday. There's a slight possibility that we'll transfer on Monday but only if it doesn't look like the embryos are strong enough to make it to Wednesday. (The goal of a five-day transfer is to be able to pick the strongest embryos to transfer. If they don't all continue to grow, they may be transferred early in hopes they will survive in utero.)

I'm still pretty sore from yesterday so haven't done much today. After taking some pain medicine, I'm  heading to bed in hopes that I'll be back to normal tomorrow. 

Please keep us in your prayers and think positive thoughts for our embryos!
