"Couldn't be more perfect."

This is the single, perfect embryo we transferred today. The whole staff was really enthusiastic with how great it looked. To me, it looks somewhat like the moon, but what do I know?

Better news? We have at least 3 to freeze, maybe more over the next day or two. They do grade embryos but I didn't ask for all the letters and numbers. I just went with the emphatic, "Everything looks perfect," that was said to us several times about embryos, my lining, and ease of transfer.

Then came the waterworks. I was so relieved that I cried, right there on the table and in the recovery room. This was the first really good thing that has happened TTC-wise since July of 2010, when we found out we were pregnant. I just couldn't help myself.

We celebrated with burritos and ice cream. Now to enjoy my Valium haze.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the constant love and support. You have no idea the difference it makes. This is going to be a long two weeks until the beta, so I'll need you all to stick with me.

  2. wow...I don't look at a lot of pix of embryos, but that looks a LOT like textbook diagrams I vaguely remember from my developmental biology class, you can see all the cells circling the inner mass so very clearly.

    Clearly awesome! Keeping my fingers crossed!

  7. That is a perfect looking blastocyst. Holy crap, really. It's, like, textbook. Glad it all went well, and enjoy being KTFU/PUPO. LOVE YOU SO MUCH. And if you need distraction from 2ww, let me know, because I'm just around all day, as you know, lactating and stuff.
