Just got off the phone with my RE. He said "good news", which immediately made me happy. Out of 16 retrieved, 13 were mature. Out of those 11 fertilized. I'm ecstatic!!!!
I won't hear anything more until Sunday. Transfer will likely be Mon. or Tues. depending on the developement. This is my 1st IVF cycle. I'm clueless as to embryo growth, blasts etc.... What are they looking for exactly?

WOW -- Nice Report -- You really can't get better than that!! Some of the other ladies will help I'm sure -- believe what they are looking for is to make sure they divide and grow -- some may arrest or stop growing/dividing. BUT that is NOT going to happen!!!!! Best of Luck! Keep us posted!

Going to blast will just weed out the weaker embies, that might not make it otherwise if txered on day 3!! Its a great thing!!!
