Anxiously awaiting my fertility report - *4th UPDATE - TRANSFER DONE*
I was totally cool all day, but now it's after 7 pm and I still haven't heard from Dr. B and I'm feeling anxious (this feeling seems to be a theme for me during this whole IVF process!  ). I sent Dr. B an email about 20 min ago.
 for good news!!!!!!!
1st UPDATE (Saturday):
Of the 10 eggs retrieved, 7 were mature, and 5 fertilized.
We're looking at a 3-day transfer (which would be Monday).
I don't even know how to feel right now.
2nd UPDATE (Sunday):
Spoke to Dr. B again today, and he said all 5 embryos are dividing and flourishing. He said if all of them continue to thrive and make it to 6-8 cells tomorrow, I'll be pushed to a 5-day transfer (Wed.).
So, as of now, I don't know if I'm going in tomorrow (3-day) or Wednesday (5-day). I'll know tomorrow morning around 9 a.m.
Of course, this adds to my anxiety bc I'm a teacher and not knowing if I need to take the day or not makes things extra complicated. Oy vey! 
3rd UPDATE (Monday):
Today is transfer day! (3-day transfer)
We will be transferring two embryos - 1 that is definitely 8-cell, 1 that is undetermined as of yet. Dr. B initially wanted to put back 3, but since fetal reduction is not something I would do in the event of triplets, we are sticking with 2.
4th UPDATE (Monday Night):
Well, transfer is complete!! We put back two grade 1 embryos - one 8 cell and one 4 cell. Embryologist said they look for 4-8 cells on a 3-day transfer, so I guess that's good.
We have 2 that are still growing (I think they were 4 cells, grade 2?). So we'll see on Wed or Thurs if we have any to freeze.
The whole process was pretty simple. It was very cool watching the embryologist putting the embryos from the dish into the catheter on a TV screen. And then seeing them transferred into my uterus on the sonogram machine.
The valium knocked me out on the way home, so I came home and slept for a couple of hours. Now I'm just relaxing on the couch (as I usually do ) and will be home from work tomorrow as well so I can take it easy.
My beta is next week on Thursday (5/19), so now I just WAIT and PRAY!!!

Thanks!  I have no idea why I have this weird feeling of disappointment. Maybe because Dr. B had mentioned a 5-day transfer yesterday. I've gotta get back to feeling hopeful and excited.

I know how you feel. I went through the same thing. He called me up on Friday morning and said to be in the city by 1 for my last IVF. My husband had to leave work and I had back up waiting to take over for me. Just try and relax. Everything sounds great!!
