Yes, it's not the most creative name we could have come up with, but it's what we've started calling them. I guess we could start calling them Lucy and Ethel, or Laverne and Shirley or Bert and Ernie or something, but A&B just sounds right. Aren't they beautiful? I just love them! I have the picture hung on the refrigerator so I can look at them everytime I walk by. The one on the right is our "perfect" one - you can see how clean it is. The one on the left is our "good" one and this one has a small amount of fragmentation which is that debris looking stuff that you can sort of see. Fragmentation is not necessarily a bad thing but it just makes this one less than perfect. They are each perfectly 8 cells which is exactly where they should be on day 3 after fertilization.
I am anxiously waiting on a status update on the fate of our remaining embies. We had a couple that were actually still growing as of yesterday, though slowly. They are supposed to call me this morning to let me know if we can freeze any. I'm not really holding my breath, but it sure would be nice!
So far the progesterone shots are going very well and are MUCH easier than I expected them to be! My mom gave me the shots the whole time that she was here, but she's heading home this morning so we're on our own now! Brad is out of town on Wed and Thurs night so I'm going to be doing it to myself the. I'm not nearly as intimidated about jabbing myself with a 3 inch needle as I was before because I've found that when I ice the area really well, I seriously feel nothing - pretty exciting! I haven't really been sore at all either which is a plus. I just wish the waiting part was as easy as these shots!!
