Running on little sleep and having such a busy day at work I continually checked my phone to see if I missed a call from the clinic. 4-4:30pm passes as I think well I guess that means that embryo is a no go. 6:13pm I get a call from the clinic. It’s the same senior embryologist I spoke with yesterday. She notes I do not have any day 6 blastocysts but they are still growing.

B looks at me confused and I’m curious too. I inquire how many are growing. I was informed two are still growing though they are a day/ day in a half behind. The day 5 blastocyst was biopsied and frozen. She will give these two until tomorrow because after day 7 they typically will not grow appropriately and need to be discarded.

Of course with the news we may have three embryos I try not to get too excited or ahead of myself. There are lower chances of a live birth with day 7 embryos. It is possible that day 7 embryos are genetically health and normal. So the waiting game continues. I feel I am left with more questions than answers though that seems true with the infertility journey. Until tomorrow.
