Egg transfer is going to be on Sunday morning! I don't know whether to be happy about that or not, since I've read the 5 day transfers have a higher live birth rate. It makes sense, really. A blastocyst that has survived 5 days in a petri dish would be more likely to develop into a healthy baby compared to a 3 day blastomere. That and the fact that more than half of the blastomeres stop developing at day 4.
I suppose the embryologist needed to make the tough call. I have 7 mature eggs out of the nine retrieved and only 6 were fertilised. My guess is if they wait to day 5 to transfer, there may be nothing left to transfer... so they're recommending a 3 day transfer.
I'm still kinda hoping that the embryologist will call early Sunday morning to say all my 6 embryos have made it to day 3 so they'll try a day 5 transfer instead. Oh well, one can hope.
Embryos.
It feels odd. I have embryos. I have 6 potential baby creature things.
I hope they make it :(
On another note, I'm still bleeding. It stopped a little in the morning. Then I got bored and started walking around the house, doing work from home, boiling red date longan tea, playing with the dog... then the bleeding started again. After that, I decided I should stay in bed for another few hours.
Still bleeding now, and there's quite abit of swelling at my lower abdominal area. I also have a slight fever. Hope it's not an infection.
How am I supposed to do the transfer on Sunday if I'm feeling all icky now...
