It was certainly pretty outside this AM. We maybe had 6-7 inches of snow then and it was still coming down. After breakfast and some gym time we ventured out. The wind had made the snow blow across the rental vehicle in a funny way as you can see in the pic below. Made it to Park Meadows Mall and wandered around. The roads were covered and slick but Lisa handled it all wonderfully! We'll most likely head out again for dinner.
The update from the embryology lab is again awesome! All 22 little embryos are doing great, all have 6-10 cells which is exactly what they should have at this point. And there is little fragmentation. (Biology lesson #2: Most embryos created during IVF cycles are noted to have some fragmentation, however, the more fragmentation, the less likely an embryo is to develop normally and implant successfully. The extent of fragmentation is an important indicator of embryo quality.) How amazing that all 22 are still growing so well!
I'm still expecting a call from the nurse with my appointment time on Sunday. Please keep the prayers and good thoughts coming as they are surely working! Thank you all sooo much!
Update: The nurse called with schedule for Sunday. I am to arrive at the clinic at 8:30 AM, will have labs drawn then acupuncture will begin. The embryo transfer is scheduled for 10:15 AM mountain time, (12:15 PM eastern time) and more acupuncture will follow. Everything is set now and it's really happening!
So far...an amazing trip. This is fun and exciting! The snow...a little more excitement added in! We have had great fun, good times and great news from the growing embryos. Grow babies grow!
