We have a penguin!!

This was very unexpected and yet the clinic called just now! One of the compacted morulas became today a very nice blast!! The embryologist said it was even a bit bigger than the ones we transferred yesterday (it's a day older!) but it was perfect quality for freezing. The other one was also a blast but not as developed and she felt it wasn't worth freezing it.

We call frozen embryos penguins! So we have a penguin! I'm so happy!

No other updates a part from the fact that I'm resting a good bit, I want to give this two sweet-peas all my love now, I suppose I feel a bit guilty that I didn't have much faith in them...

Great news! They really did turn out to be fighters. Thinking good thoughts for you and your sweet peas. (And I love the idea of a penguin...much better than "totsicle"!).

Oh Fran - so very happy for you!!! Kieran and I are both sending you, your husband, the sweet peas and of course the dear penguin all of our love and good wishes!

If their slacker sibiling could turn into a great blast on day 6 and be worth freezing, I'd hope the two you transferred are just great too.

Michele said...

I know you are thrilled!!!

Saige said...

That is great news! I'm sure that totally made your day.

I pray the two you have transferred are getting all warm and snuggly!

That is fantastic news Fran! You can use your penguin for baby # 2 or 3 once you are ready after having this one this time round ;)
