My embie was a high quality 8 cell and the transfer went very smooth. I'm hopeful! Thanks everyone for all the support.

I'm officially PUPO. Beta is 2/4.

Thanks Karen!

Rio-- I'm still pretty worried about the outcome of this cycle. The odds are not in my for a single embryo 3dt in a 38 y/o woman. But my odds aren't zero either! I know anything can happen. I do have hope.

Lou - I completly understand that you transfered one and you are super worried, but I have seen one 3day embryo become a healthy baby quite a few times in this board. Your uterus is nice and cozy after the D&C and your embryo looked amazing. I am praying so hard you get your BFP, again miracles happen when we least expect them! Keep your hope and PMA and "see" the baby sticking and growing. Are you going to POAS?

Lou – I want to say congrats on being PUPO! Remember during my last pregnancy, I only transferred a single embryo too and I have a beautiful daughter to show for it. I know the single transfer makes you a little nervous and I was too but it only takes one! I can’t wait to hear your beta…

Lou I am super excited for you to be PUPO right now! I've come to realize that stats are CRAP! I had a 50% chance of getting pg with my IVF cycles, and it took three times for it to happen...and then both took and now I have my girls! My SIL, on the other hand, was 42, had an 8% chance of it working and less than 1% of multiples, yet she now has 9 year old twins from her FIRST cycle. So yea, try not to get hung up on those stats (yea right, because it's soooo easy to not obsess over everything during a cycle).

Praying for you!

IVF 3: BFP! TWINS!
