Pupo

First bit of information: embryos are graded on how perfect they look. The theory is more perfect looking embryos have a higher chance to implant. It is hard to say exactly how true this is since most of us don't know what we looked like as embryos, so all they can do is see how embryos look as close to the picture in books. On day 3 embryos should be 6-8 cells (preferable 8) and have little to no fragments (A is under 10% frags, B is 10-25%, C is 25-50%, D is over 50%).

So they transferred two 6 cell B quality
embryos. Unfortunately the third embryo was graded C and the doctor said that they don't freeze C embryos. I was pretty miffed about this that I didn't even get a say. I know that C embryos have a lower chance of success, but it doesn't mean that they don't all fail, but now we will never know. Of course I couldn't have them put in all three and risk the chance of high order multiples.

So now I am pregnant until proven otherwise. Hopefully at least one of these 6B embryos sticks. The cycle I had my twins one was a 7A and one was 6B so that makes me feel good that I have had success with a 6B before.
