Pushed to Day 5

Bright and early this morning my phone rang. It was from a number I know very well...the doctors office. They called to let me know that they were pushing my transfer from a day 3 to a day 5. That was really great news to us. They do day 5 transfers for a few reasons but the main one is that all the embryos look good and they can't tell which two are the best. At day 5 they are blastocysts . A blastocyst is a highly developed embryo that has divided many times and is at the point where it is nearly ready to attach to the uterus wall. There are good and bad things about waiting till day 5. The good things are that the embryo is much more developed and you have a better chance for success. The only bad thing is that they do not freeze well. I am fine with that and am more than happy to do a day 5 transfer. Many of the blogs I have been reading, pray for a day 5 transfer. The other good thing is that I will only have to wait 10 days instead of 15 to know if it worked. Oh, and I only have to go to the doctor's office on the 25th and not the 18th and the 25th.

So what all this means is that out transfer will be on Monday at 11:15, which means I have to be there at 10:45. I was really sad at first because I thought I was going to miss Lynn's 30th birthday at school. But my transfer is so late I am going to get to go in for a little bit for her birthday and to see my babies:) That is all for today so until tomorrow Love and Baby Dust!
