IVF Fertilization Day 3

I didn't have the transfer done today. They called me this morning and pushed it back until Monday, at noon (day 5). I have an appointment tomorrow morning to check for infection and fluid build-up from the egg retrieval. I haven't been feeling well and have been in a lot of pain so they are going to have me come in so they can make sure I am still doing okay. They said they pushed me back to a Day 5 transfer because we have a lot of embryos still doing very well. It is a good thing to do a Day 5 transfer because you have strong, robust embryos and pregnancy rates are higher on a Day 5 transfer. They will only transfer 1 embryo on Day 5. If we would have had a Day 3 transfer they would have put back 2. We are almost there...can't wait for all of this to be over. What a roller-coaster week and experience this has all been!
