Baby's First Biopsy

All seven of our zygotes are still in the game, and they were biopsied today for the PGD (genetic testing).

Learn more about Preimplantation Genetic Testing here.

Here's a video showing how it works:


We're scheduled to do the embryo transfer at 2:15 pm on Sunday.

When we get there (around 1:45 pm) we'll get a full report, including the PGD results and how they're looking over all.

At that point, we'll make the final decision as to whether to transfer 2 (if there are 2 high quality ones) or 3 (if there aren't) embryos.

The procedure won't take long at all, and after a brief rest, they'll send me home to lounge around and eat bonbons for 24 hours.

Then, I'll be back at work on Tuesday.

I'll be scheduled for the official blood pregancy test on March 21, but I'll start testing at home long before that.

We don't expect to receive an update tomorrow, so no more news until transfer time.
