Laugh or cry?

I wasn't sure which to do after todays call from the clinic!

Egg collection was fine yesterday. 15 eggs collected, 8 for me and 7 for the recipient.

6 of my share were mature enough to be ICSI'd and this morning the clinic called and said that I have 5 top grade embryos. I really didn't know whether to cry with relief or laugh with relief after having no fertilisation last time.

As there are no clear leaders, embryo transfer will either be Thursday or Saturday in which case it will be a 5 day blastocyst transfer. I find out at 8.15 on Thursday morning which day it will be - at which point if I have to go in it will be a mad rush to the train station to catch the train!

I'm just praying now that at least 2 survive until transfer day - whenever that is.

I am incredibly bloated and in much pain - walking is particularly painful as is laughing! But its *so* worth it.

Off to lie down again now...
