Day 3

Today is Day 3.  That means today was a possible transfer day, but it turns out that we're waiting for Day 5 to do the transfer.  So, in the meantime we got a call with a status update on the embryos.  Today it looks even better than yesterday:

6 embryos at Grade 1
7 embryos at Grade 2
1 embryo at Grade 3.

Note that this is an improvement from Friday, when only three of the embryos merited a 1.  What's more, we're told that the Grade 3 has gotten this grade because it's straggling in term of number of cells --- they're now expected to be 8 cells --- but that some of the cells are multi-nucleated, which means they may be about to divide again.  Apparently some embryos of this type will indeed make it through the next few days and become "transferrable" on Day 5.
