I just got through the 8 pages I missed since Saturday.
Neffi211: Wishing you so much luck tomorrow!
Washingtonda: Congrats on your BFP! Can't wait to hear the official report tomorrow.
Colesmom: Congrats on 24 eggs!!!
TammyS: Keeping my fingers crossed that you trigger tonight.
Schel67: That was a great pic of your embryo. You have to love those physical pieces of evidence that this whole process really does work.
I apologize for not reporting sooner. I received the call on Sunday that 2 out of the 3 eggs were mature and fertilized. On Monday they called to say that the 2 embies were still cleaving and they scheduled my ET for 9:15 Tuesday morning. I was so excited that both embies had made it this far and keeping my fingers crossed that they continued to divide. I got to the clinic yesterday morning and when they took me back to do the transfer and the Dr. came in she started explaining how many follicles I had, how many eggs were retrieved, how many transferred, etc. etc. and she said that all 3 had fertilized. I said "wait a second, they told me that only 2 eggs were mature and fertilized." She said "you didn't get our call this morning?" Apparently they called and left a message at my house about 20 minutes after we left saying that apparently the 3rd egg did mature and they fertilized it the next day. They told me that the 2 eggs they were transferring were both Grade 1 (one 7-cell embie and one 6-cell embie) and that the 3rd egg was doing well as well and asked me about freezing it. I felt like someone had hit me upside the head with a frying pan!
Before I had been diagnosed as a low responder I had made up my mind that I would freeze 2 or more embryos for a second cycle if needed. With the chance of an embryo not making it through the freezing or the subsequent thawing I thought 2 would be a reasonable # to go with (meaning that if only 1 could be frozen we would not freeze it and start with a fresh cycle the next go around). So DH and I decided that with transferring 2 embies we would go ahead and start fresh with a new cycle if this one didn't work. I keep thinking about the 3rd embie and feel horrible that I would not freeze it but then I keep trying to be realistic and if both transferred embies take we are going be trying to figure out how to pay for 3 at daycare. (The cost of freezing one embie is $750.)
I am over the moon that both embies were doing well as of yesterday when they were transferred but have now started worrying about all of the cramping I have been having. I'm afraid that my uterus will expel them.
Seems that the dark brown stuff that I had when I wiped is now gone so I am glad of that. I prayed to get it but once I did I wanted it to go away. I was so scared that something else was happening. I was totally exhausted by 1:00 yesterday and when I got home I was knocked out. Fiance had to get me up for dinner (he's still waiting on me hand and foot (hehehe)).
