A Gemini's Life

Yesterday morning I got a call from the Embriologist at the fertility clinic that NINE eggs have been fertilized!!! Okay, before you panic and imagine us going crazy with a crowd of multiples ~ they don't transplant all nine embryos. In three more days they will transplant at the most 2 "blastocysts." The number of fertilized eggs may reduce by tomorrow - they won't all necessarily "make it." Or there could be more because they retrieved 13 eggs on Friday. But on the day of transplant they will choose the best of the eggs ~ the ones that will have the best chance of surviving once transplanted. There is always that chance that, once transplanted, they won't attach to the uterine wall lining and we would have to start over. Well, almost over, because they will freeze the rest of the eggs. 

I'm really looking forward to hearing from the Embriologist tomorrow about the status of my little embies. My nurse told me that she often names the embies. I told Rick we may have to go with whatever she names them because we never agree on a name. ;)
