Hi Amy,
Hope you're able to relax and the wait isn't too unbearable.
I think you should be very pleased with the fact that you have 3
blastocysts. Most women who go through IVF are really pleased just to
produce a couple of good quality embryos. You've had excellent
results, 16 embryos! It's completely normal to loose a good few of
them if doing a 5 day transfer, this is why its only offered to
couples who have a lot of embryos, the chances of success as I'm sure
you know are higher with blastocysts.
As Kari says, try to stay positive, only a few more days to go.
Fingers and toes crossed for you
Samantha
