We had the 5 day transfer Sunday 5/18. They put back two 2AA blastocyst. They said that was the best grading there could be. We had 4 left to freeze in case we need them at a later date. We should know the results by the end of the month.
We will keep you upated. :-)
a little info:
What is a Blastocyst? After egg retrieval, the fertilized egg may develop into an embryo over a period of three days in the laboratory. The embryo typically divides into between four and ten cells. A blastocyst, by comparison, is an embryo that has advanced to the five-day stage; which means the embryo has divided many more times into many more cells over the five-day period following an egg retrieval.Blastocysts have a very thin outer shell and do not require assisted hatching, thus potentially increasing the odds of implantation into the uterine cavity. While the majority of fertilized eggs will develop into a three-day old embryo, only perhaps 40% of these embryos will develop into a blastocyst. Therefore, blastocysts are considered to be a more "select" group of embryos with a higher chance of pregnancy.
