We will have one frozen. It is the other 4.5 grade one. The other one didn’t look right to their standards and therefore it is thought that it wouldn’t survive the thaw or freeze.
The grade that it is being frozen is 4AB. Let me break that down. The 4 refers to the size. This is on a scale of 5 so 4 isn’t bad. The first letter refers to the “Inner cell mass” or the cells that will become the baby. A is obviously good there! The second letter refers to the cells that will become the placenta. It is not as good but it is still good. They don’t freeze them if they are C or under. So we are good there.
So all told this is all good. She said that it was getting ready to hatch so you can just imagine what the 2 inside me are doing. Today should be the hatching day and maybe initial implantation. So I am going to keep resting for the next few days still.
That is all the information I have for now.

I’ve been following your story for quite some time. I am very hopeful that you will get great news in 11 days!
Hi Jennifer and Tony,
We just got home last night and I am so happy to learn that you have had the embryo transfer. We had problems using the computer on the ship and never could get on for more than a few minutes so never was able to check on your progress. Such good news to read now. I’m sure that the next few days until the 11th will be long ones for you. I am praying for your miracle(s).
I hope so much that you continue feeling okay. Take good care of yourself and thanks so much for all the interesting information you have given about this process. Even though my daughter went through part of the same process for her embryo transplant(adopted embryos)I didn’t really understand everything she went through.
Also, I’m glad to hear that you had a really good embryo to freeze. When our daughter had her transplant, the quality of the embryos was not very good and probably wouldn’t have been frozen today. Thankfully, we ended up with a perfect little grandson!
Anyway, take care and I hope that somehow the next few days fly by for you!

PS This is the second time today I have tried to get a message to you so I hope it goes this time.
