LH question

Good luck deciding!

Lisa -

Good luck deciding. I've learned that a lot of things tend to change over the course of a few days with embryos. And we also did genetic testing this last time, which turned out to be pretty surprising. Sometimes embryos that appear wonderful are just not. I wouldn't do less than 2 and I would definitely go with your doctor's recommendation.

Just curious - do you have any bedrest after this all? I'll be transferring on Thursday and have 3 days of bedrest....

Best of luck! And stick, little ones!

Thanks Patti and Levana!
Transfer in the AM. We shall see.
They recommend 24 hours of bedrest. They say it's not proven but it does eliminate the what if's.
Good luck with your transfer Patti!!

Where are you all from? I live in Maine.
Goodnight!

Back from transfer..

I continue to be amazed by the news I have gotten at each of the steps so far...

I have some "great embryos" as the Dr. said this morning.

I had 2- 8 cell grade 3(grade 3 is best in Boston IVF grading)
1- 7 cell grade 3
and 2- 8 cell grade 2

We decided to transfer 4 and leave one of the 8 cell grade 2 to grow and see if it makes it to blastocyst. If so, it will be frozen. Normally they don't freeze and grade 2 unless it makes it to blast.
It was a difficult decision but the Dr. is worried about my significant endometriosis. I was a little surprised by this and have to do more research on it but I thought IVF bypassed endo issues.

I am going to try and stay positive these 2 weeks and figure I will atleast be pregnant until the test says I am not.

Thanks again for the support you all have given me!

Lisa, it just keeps getting better and better! So glad to hear that your embryos were such great quality.

You're PUPO now -- pregnant until proven otherwise! :-)

Good luck and I'll be looking for some good news in two weeks.

Sounds great!

And here you are on bedrest contacting us. Thanks! I hope you have a restful and peaceful day and enjoy your day in bed.

I don't know anything about endo and ivf...interesting. Sticky vibes to you!
