Updates below with blast info...
First of all, I've never been so eager to create a new post and push the previous one off the front page. Phew...
OK, so we're going to blast. 5 day transfer. We were not able to get the details of our embryo quality (which frustrated me) but the nurse said that we had "at least 6 embryos that were at either 6,7,or 8 cells". Because she didn't have the info in front of her, she said she will call back today with more info. Grrr.
UPDATE: Actually, they called me this afternoon and gave me the info I was looking for. It turns out, ALL NINE embies are 7 or 8 cells, and it looks like they ALL might make it to blast. Hard to believe. We may have a real shot at making some frosties!)
But...that's great news. The little suckers are doing well! And we may have some left over for the big chill.
Sunday is the day. Wish us luck. I really appreciate all the well wishes.
Also, about the previous topic, I just want to say that I appreciate all the thoughtful comments, even the ones I don't agree with. We had a constructive and open exchange of ideas, which is why I do this in the first place. I have no hard feelings, and I hope no one else does. I always want people to feel free to be totally honest and open with me.
On to sunnier topics. Like the weather. It may hit 70 degrees here in Boston today. On December 1st. Global warming anyone?

Sounds like you have six that are doing really well. I am wishing you both the best of luck, Smarsh!!!
Alright. One step closer.
This is an exiting time man and make sure you keep M smiling and positive.
Have a cool weekend
Here in Southern Europe we've had the warmest November in 150 years!
Good Luck on Sunday! How exciting that you guys are going with blasts.
As for the weather...I'm ready for the cold. My car temp read 70 this morning, crazy.
Thanks for the comment on my blog :)
Global warming? Brr... not in my neck of the woods Smarshy. We have 10 cms of snow, freezing rain and ice pellets falling today in our fair city, with a temp of 1 degree (C).
But forget about that... YAY for the blasties! That is fantastic news and I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for Mrs. Smarshy on Sunday. Enjoy your weekend!
Great news!!! Fingers crossed for you all on Sunday.
Great news!!! Good luck on Sunday!!! =)
I am so happy to hear about your fert. results. Best of luck.
6 high quality embryos?!!! That is awesome news. Congrats and have a great weekend.
wow, I've been away for a while and I missed your whole cycle. and whole lot of other hubbub on this blog too. that's great to hear that your cycle has gone so well, and that you'll be transferring blasts on sunday.
on the previous topic - I read a lot of the comments, and I guess I'm torn. I agree with a lot of what was said on both sides. I'd prefer to not see children at the clinic, but I understand why sometimes they need to be there.
good luck Sunday!!! :-)
(This is weird...I can't post comments on your blog using my Blogger ID. And your blog is the only one I'm having a problem with...it says "User Account Not Found...)
Congrats on the blasts!! Good luck on Sunday!!!
hooray! that is such great news. I have everything crossed for you for Sunday. Tell M that I can't wait for her to be in the 2ww with me!
That's just awesome Smarsh. Goodness-M was an overachiever this cycle wasn't she? All the luck in the world to you!(Ok-not all of it, cause other cyclers need some too, K?)
Good luck with your transfer. Wish you and your wife the very best!
Congrats on the numbers... it sounds good.
Re: weather.... snow snow snow here in Manitoba!
