Everyday since fertilization report I've been thinking of our embabies and where they should be at with development. Hoping a good number of them are growing strong. I love this diagram of the embryo development.... grow embies!! Grow!!
Great graphic! I'll have to remember this post in a couple of months when it will finally be my turn. Hope that lab in Colorado is working some magic on your embies!!!

Our diagnosis is male factor infertility. We started trying for kids in our late 20s and struggled a lot. We had our first son in 2007 after two IVF failures. We struggled again to have a sibling at local clinics in California. We ended up at CCRM for one last try and did CCS testing. We had 3 normal embryos and transferred 2 in 2010. Our boy/girl twins are now 4yrs old. We recently went back for our one last CCS normal embryo this Aug 2015. Currently pregnant and due in April 2016!!
