INDIE RAD: I am so sorry for your sad turn of events.
Please keep us updated on your next step. I know there is a beautiful child out there for you somewhere, whether it be from IVF or adoption.
We had ET today. We knew we still had 5 embryos still splitting, but the embryologist wanted us to transfer today, so we went in this morning. The RE came in and told us we had 5 embryos, three 8 cell and two 7 cell. They are all Class 1. The RE was very positive and said they were much better than last time. It turns out that we transferred a 5 and 6 cell, because that is all we had, and got the BFN.
The RE stated that they were comfortable with transferring 4, due to my age. Multiples implantation is much less likely in my age group. Triplets would be a very very low percent risk and if we were open to multiples such as twins, they would go with four. They also explained that if we were going to transfer four, waiting to blast state offerred no benefit. So, we did it, and I had four embryos transferred. They are watching the fifth, and if it makes it to blast state, they will freeze it.
While we were doing the transfer, one stayed in the cathater, so we had to transfer twice. The RE stated that for some reason, they seem to see a lot of pregnancies when an embryo stows away in the cathater. So, I am taking that as a good sign, I have at least one sticky embryo.
I am feeling really positive this time. Everything at this point is going so much better than last time. We got a great photo of the embryos that we transferred.
So, now I am officially in the 2ww. My test date is April 1, hopefully no April Fools day jokes that day. I am on my 24 hours bedrest now and my DH i taking wonderful care of me. I have an acupuncture appointment tomorrow afternoon. The acupuncturist states she will do a treatment that will get things flowing to the uterus which hopefully will help with implantation. One funny thing about acupuncture, when I showed up last Thursday, my acupuncturist was not there, and apparantly had an emergency in China, so she would not be available to do a treatment before and after transfer as we had planned. I was very upset. I did find another acupuncturist (the one that treats at my clinic) and she stated the treatments previously were most important, but she could see me tomorrow.
I know this two weeks will be hard, I've been through it before, but I also think my experience will help. I know that you can have every symptom and good sign, and it doesn't necessarily mean it will be a BFP. I am not going to read anything into each sign (I say that, but time will tell, won't it)?
I really feel that this is my time.
I wish "STICKY BABY DUST" to everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kris
