Good morning! Today is the day! Tony and I have been a bundle of nerves since yesterday when I last spoke to a nurse. She called in response to a message I'd sent the doctor regarding the difference between a day 3 and a day 5 transfer -- I was worried there was something wrong. Turns out, he is just of the school of thought that in our case the best environment for our embryos is their natural environment, so he wants them back in there asap.
She also mentioned that the doctor said he was willing to put in up to three (3!) embryos. That threw both Tony and I for a loop. Believe me when I tell you there has been MUCH discussion. Tony tends to think of the worst-case scenario and run with it. I tend to err more on the cautious 'all three will never stick' side. We have NO idea the quality of the embryos, we will find that out when we go in today...leaving in about a half an hour (eek!). I'll let you know what we decided once we meet with the doctor and weigh in his opinion. We have our minds made up currently, but I'd hate to go back and forth for you, so I'll wait to share that tidbit until it's all said and done.
Finally, she told me they will be doing assisted hatching with the embryos. A laser will just nick the outside of the membrane to allow the embryo itself to come out and attach to the uterine lining a little easier. I was assured this is a safe process that is very accurate. Here's to hoping it helps!
Ta ta for now! :)
