3dp3dt: Blast off!

Well, the good news is, my little embryo made it to blast. Bless its little "fair minus" heart. It's a 5CC, which is the bad news. My clinic won't freeze unless the inner-cellular mass is graded at a B or better.

But this is more than I expected from this little guy. It shows that, despite our baffling fert report, my eggs (which control the early part of development) are still good. Even if the DNA inside them is crap, my embryos make it to blast. They just do. Which means the ones inside me probably did as well. It's up to them, now, for their DNA to take over and do its thing.

I hope one of them is normal. Please, let one of them be my baby.

That is great! Congrats on superior blastocyst-formation skills!

I had a lot of blasts with crap DNA mix-ups too (most of them very pretty and undistinguishable from the chromosomally normal ones). But, I agree that a CC blast is very unlikely to be chromosomally normal. Our clinic makes the same cutoff on what they'll freeze.
