They were able to biopsy two of the four that were still being watched. That brings the total number of embryos from this cycle to reach blast stage to 3.
I won't lie, there were tears. I was upset that it was "only" three. I am enormously grateful for these three, but I'm sad for the other four that didn't make it. They weren't bad, they just didn't grow to blast stage in the amount of time given, even though they were given an extra two days to grow.
I went into this cycle dreading it and it's proven to be just as agonizing as anticipated. We have to wait two weeks for the PGD results. We're hoping for the best possible outcome but we're realistic and know each embryo has only a 25% chance of being healthy/transferrable.
Staying positive and hoping for the best.

I'm sorry the results weren't what you wanted - but so hopeful that one of those three is your take home baby. I am staying positive with you!!
