[quote=Anonymous]Well I'm the OP. I had 2 early blasts transferred this morning. We'll see.

I'm at GW. There are 2 other embryos chillin in the lab. One sounds like a mess and probably won't make it, but they're giving it till tomorrow (day 6.) The other is close to an early blast and they are also giving it till tomorrow.

But, I was told directly from the doc this a.m. - if they don't get to full blast tomorrow, they won't be frozen. So I'm not sure how PP's above were able to get them to freeze. Dr. F said that if they aren't full blasts they likely won't survive the thaw. I'd prefer to give them a shot, but I do have a ton of trust in him...see below.

On my whirlwind and costly tour through the DC IVF clinics, I rest 110% faith in Dr. Frankfurter. He's f*cking brilliant. Truly. I can't believe how much I've learned, how easy this cycle was, how much I was able to weigh in and be listened to.

I still don't fault Shady Grove for the loss of those embryos, that's just their protocol. I'm sad, but I wish I knew or did more research about it before so I wasn't surprised. I think Dr. Stillman is fantastic as well and if he would have done a low stim with me, I would have gone back to him truthfully but they don't believe in that. But on this cycle, I did lower stims than I did at SG in the cycle that yielded 7 eggs with only 2 blasts and no pregnancy. Less meds at GW, 2 years and 4 months later and I got 8 eggs and a definite 2 early blasts with possibly 1 or 2 more tomorrow. Not sure how that happens, though every cycle is different, I'm just that much more impressed with GW.

I don't get how 2 years goes by, I crack the big 4-0 in age, and I somehow respond better on LESS meds. Bravo, GW. [/quote]
