Updated fert report

Out of our 9 embies, 8 are looking good by Day 3 standards (between 6 and 10 cell, less than 20% fragmentation).  So we're still on track for a Day 5 transfer!  Woo hoo!  Plus, not having to miss another 2 days of work is great (ET and bed rest will be Sat/Sun).

Also, as a side note, I'm on day 2 of Endometrin (3x/day), and ewww! I'm sure it's better than dealing with PIO shots, but yuck.  Even if we weren't on no sex restrictions, there is no way it would be happening with that going on!

Good luck to the other snow bunnies! 
TTC #1 7/10, Me (31)- Dx DOR (AMH 0.6); DH (30)- normal
BFP on Cycle #8. Natural M/C at ~8 weeks
IUI #1 and #2 (8/12, 9/12)- 50 mg Clomid + Ovidrel = BFNs
IVF #1 (EPP) 13R/10M/9F, 5DT 1-4AA blast, beta #1-148, beta #2-322, 5 frosties!
3/18/13 - It's a Girl!
4/18/13 - A/S- baby looks perfect, but partial placenta previa
