Beta #1

First beta is in and it's 411. Yay! I am officially pregnant. I do have to go for another beta on Friday to ensure that it continues to double. As long as it doubles we should be doing good.

Tomorrow is the Big Results Day

Tomorrow I go in for my first beta test. Since I have been getting positives since 4dp5dt I am hoping for a big number. I will update with the result as soon as I get home from work.

6dp5dt

I took two more hpt's this morning. One was a regular First Response Early Result and the other was E.P.T digital. Both came up positive. Yay! I am happy and hope they stay positive and I get a great beta on Wednesday.

Ok, I am an addict!

I wanted to let everyone know that I am being cautiously optimistic. I took a Clearblue easy hpt this morning and it was clearly positive. If I can find a way to post it online I will. It had a nice thick blue line. I took it with a grain of salt because I know that that brand can give false positives. Plus, I am only 5dp5dt or 11 days past ovulation. So to ease my mind I took a First Reponse Early Result tonight and it was clearly positive. No need to tilt the test or squint, it was positive. Yay! I plan on taking a digital tomorrow and I am hoping for a clear positive.

Embryo Transfer

We had our embryo transfer today! Out of the 8 embryos, 3 were blastocysts, 4 early blastocysts, and 1 arrested. We were able to transfer 2 blastocysts after much trepedation from the Dr's. They transferred a BB and BC embryo. The one other blastocyst can be frozen and if the 4 early ones look good tomorrow they can be frozen as well. My first beta is June 1st.

Day 3 Fertilization Results

We found out today how our embryo's we doing. They are doing great. Out of the 8 embryo's, 1 is a Grade 1 and 7 are a Grade 2. Walter Reed grades embryo's as 1 being the best and 4 being the worst. They hardly ever give out 1's. We will be doing our transfer on Sunday!

Fertilization Report

The nurse called today with the fertization report. Out of the 17 eggs retrieved, 9 were mature, and 8 fertilized. We did not have to use ICSI this time. Yay! We have one more fertilized than last time. We will find out on Friday how they are doing and we may have the transfer that day or on Sunday.
