We are Officially in the two week wait!! The transfer went great (after some technical issues were resolved).
Here are the beautiful embryos!! This cycle was a bit different in many aspects:
#1 - a new egg donor was chosen
#2 - no Lupron injections
#3 - endometrial activation was done a day before transfer
#4 - the embryos were 3 days old vs the 4-day and 5-day transfers we had done previously.
#5 - instead of already frozen embryos being thawed and transferred, this cycle the new donor's frozen eggs were thawed separately from the sperm on Tuesday then fertilized together. There were 10 fertilized embryos and of those 10 the 3 you see below were good quality while the rest were not so great. I'm not sure whether they plan to grow the remaining embryos to day 4 or 5 to check quality then and possibly freeze or not.
I'm just praying at least one of these beautiful creations decides to stick around :)

The doctor gave us an 80% chance of a successful pregnancy and for those wondering only a 2-3% chance of all 3 sticking. We're just praying for a healthy full-term pregnancy for J&L whether that is 1 or 2 babies. I'm putting all my faith in God's hands.
