Deciding about ET

We have decided to go for blastocysts again.

This morning (Day 3 post EC) I had a wide variety of cell division:
1@8 cells
2@7 cells
1@6-7 cells
2@5 cells

They could pretty much pick out too good ones and were happy to put them back. But as I was unsure they decided to wait until 1:00pm and have another look.

The situation now is:
2@8 cells
3@7 cells
1@6-7 cells
1@6 cells

So from a situation where some were not at the right stage we've gone to a situation where all are at the right stage.

All are slightly fragmented as well, so it's not possible to pick two good ones any more today. Apparently some embryos lose their fragmentation as they divide on, some don't. Slight fragmentation is normal, it's only if there is major fragmentation that it's a bad thing. None of mine are majorly fragmented so the logical decision seems to be to carry on to blastocyst stage to get two obvious good ones and freeze any others.

At the moment, none of them are top grade, but I'm not worried as the embryologist wasn't bothered about this. She seemed to be more concerned that they continue to divide normally without a great deal of fragnmentation and that's that's happened to all seven of ours!! (So pleased!) Although I'm disappointed I'm not getting them put back today, I think waiting is the right decision in this situation, and I look forward to Saturday - which is when the transfer will definitely happen.

Hmmm... more waiting...
