Octoblast!

Winter storm in the fall? NOPE! The embryologist left me a fabulous, surprising message today that 8 out of 9 fertilized embryos developed nicely into day 5 blastocysts! I was hoping for at least 3, and was expecting maybe 2...finally some good news in this roller coaster journey! I am picturing little frozen embryos having a snowball fight, hangin in the cooler, wearing mittens and scarves. Such a ridiculous image. 5-10 cells were removed from each and sent to a lab to be tested, (costing us $$$ !) Results will come in 7-10 days. I made sure there were no hold-ups...they have our consent forms on file, as well as our credit card (they otherwise hold the results). So somewhere between Thursday September 6-September 9. Fingers crossed for a few normal embryos!
