Embryos

So, they transferred these two:

The codes at the bottom [(DBC), (CBC)] are grades.  Obviously they're somewhat less-than-stellar.  This is because these embryos are a little behind schedule, and just becoming blastocysts.  So, the different regions of the blastocyst are still poorly defined and hard to grade.    The grades DON'T mean that Sarah is really any less likely to get pregnant.  More on that in a moment.

In addition to these two, five more embryos are still alive and developing.  Those five are a little farther behind, and not yet to the blastocyst stage at all.  They will either make it to that stage in the next day or they never will.  Those that do will go into cryo-preservation (ie, a freezer) for later transfer.  We'll hear about how many (if any) go into cryo tomorrow morning.
