8 on the rocks

Whenever thinking about things on the rocks the last thing that comes to mind are embryos. Maybe a margarita, a mojito, a scotch but never embryos.

I really can't believe this but we have been blessed with 8 embryos currently on the rocks. As of yesterday we had 4 that had made it to the blast stage and were frozen and 5 more that were working on catching up. The embryologist told us we may have 1 or 2 more to freeze today but our little ones are strong and 4 more made it into the freezer. This is a pretty amazing number. We will most likely never have to do IVF again. If it doesn't work the 1st time or if we want to have more children we have an embarrassing amount to choose from.

So for now, we are thrilled with the # we have frozen and we are just waiting until my beta next Sat. so I can hopefully post with a positive pregnancy test story!

Andrea, another couple, somewhat intrusive, questions. Is there a fee for storing your embryos over long periods of time with the Fertility Clinic or Lab? Like renting vault space at the bank? And secondly what does research say about the length of time an embryo be successfully stored?
