Is this real life??
I got a call from the embryologist today letting me know that at this point they are looking for the eggs to have divided into either 2 or 4 cells and that all 15 of our eggs have divided!!! We have 14, 4 cell and 1, 2 cell. I just can't believe it. We still have all 15 of our original eggs. I just don't even know what to think! I definitely thought that our numbers would have gone down by now and I have no idea how common it is to have all 15 still growing, but I will happily take it!
Transfer date is still set for Sunday 8.9 and I have no idea how many more updates we will get before then. I have also been trying to stay off of google during this time, so i don't even know what all is expected out of our little eggs at this point or what they are even called. When do they become embryos? I have no idea :)
I also filmed a little update on how I am and have been feeling. I am a beachbody health and fitness coach and I have been working on my own personal journey now for quite a while and this entire IVF process seems to have put that at a complete halt and actually helped me gain a few lbs along the way. Feel free to watch if you'd like, maybe some of you can relate?

Yeah!!! I\'d call them embryos once they are fertilized, although don\'t know if that is medically correct. You are doing awesome! hope you are feeling better also

Yay keep up the good news girl!
Lindsey, this is the best news!!! So thrilled for you!!! 15 embryos is amazing!!
15 and growing strong is awesome! I know you have a lot on your plate right now but I would love to hear more about your success with 21 day fix. I am considering trying it. We are doing a retrieval soon but not transferring until I lose more weight. I am trying for 40-50 lbs. You did a great job on your video!
Awe thanks Kristi! I would be happy to talk more with you about it all! Do you have a good email I can send you some info? And thanks for the encouraging words!
