Hello ladies
Well, I'm officially
!!
ET went well. I must admit, tho. I was severely unhappy with the technician that assisted the RE. Not only did she press (unnecessarily hard, in my opinion) on my extremely full bladder, but she smelled like she had lathered up her hands in B&BW scented lotion!!!!! GRRRRRR!!!
- I don't know about others, but our clinic states clearly not to wear any scented or powdered things to the ET - same for DH! I didn't even put on make up today because I wear bare minerals and was afraid of the powderiness!!! She better not put my embaby at risk!!!!
which brings me to my next thing... RE called on the way to the appt. She said I had 6 blastocysts today and 3 pre-blasts. One of the blasts was an extremely high quality embie, she called it an A++ embryo. As I feared, she highly recommended a single blast transfer. I was disappointed. DH and I talked about it for the remaining 45 min of the trip and he convinced me to go with the recommendation.
I agreed, primarily because I know the additional stress that having a twin pregnancy and then actual twins (even with zero complications which we all know are quite possible) would have on my DH. Since my DSSs live so far away and we don't do daycare for DS and the fact that we don't have any family nearby that could help out ... it could really be too much to have a 2 year old and newborn twins.
I am somewhat sad about it, but realize that for us, it is likely the best decision... and if we do have frosties, which is likely, but we won't know until Monday -- then we can always do another FET later if we decide that we would like to have more... and hopefully my DH will be closer to retirement, if not retired and we will at least be closer to family should we find ourselves pg with twins.
I hope to be able to catch up more and do personals tomorrow afternoon or night... I am trying to type now on my DH's laptop as I lay on the couch with my required 24 bedrest (the nurse was like Nurse Ratchett this time - she said, "when i say bedrest, i mean, you can get up to pee. and 24 hrs starts when you get home.") anyway, the laptop is getting hot! i dont want to keep it near embaby too long..
oh and I got a pic this time!! my first blast, i guess, but very cool!
best wishes to all with upcoming procedures. i will check in on your progess soon. wishing you lots of sticky sticky baby dust!!
bfn trying again Feb!
, I know I know... Sorry...well I just want to say that after putting ice for 5 minutes, I did not feel the shot at all... I was telling my dh to hurry up and asking what he was waiting for, why it was taking so long but he was already done.... OMG I am soooo happy it is over with, I was so stressed... and after I was celebrating....not I am afraid about the IV tomorrow for the ER but I am sure it will be fine.. I need to relax and be realistic instead of panicking for nothing... I know I know DRAMA QUEEN again.... sorry....
