My Dad kept asking how many we''d "implanted" too. Ugh. I think he''s got it right now.
Yep, I think the NT scan is to measure the thickness of fluid at the back of the baby''s neck - over a certain thickness means that the risk of Down''s is increased. I think they combine it with bloodwork drawn the same day to come up with a risk which gets compared to your age-related risk to see if you''re at higher- or lower-than-normal risk for Down''s and neural tube defects. I''m just looking forward to getting reassurance that baby''s ok and growing on track.
Melanie - I guess we''ll be thinking of each other tomorrow and hoping for great news for both of us! When''s your transfer time? It''ll be an exciting day for you. I wonder if you''ll see the embryos on a photo before they transfer? I was just so relieved to have a couple good ones to transfer, and as a bonus to have a few to freeze. They hadn''t checked mine on day4, so we went in for the day5 transfer with no idea if there were still any good ones left or not.
