Embryos Day 2


Picture of a 4-cell embryo on day 2 of in vitro development. The embryo has gone through two divisions and has four evenly sized cells.

We should expect to hear from the embyrolgoist tomorrow about the status of our embryos. They have scheduled our embryo transfer for Monday at 2pm. In a normal pregnancy the sperm and egg meet in the fallopian tube and start the trek to the uterus where it would implant in the uterine lining, this process takes about 5 days. This is why we wait the 5 days until the egg is at the same stage for implantation.
