Hey everyone, the lab just called had good news to report. Of the 11 eggs retreived 8 were mature. Of those 7 have fertilized and growing according to schedule. I will get my next update on Sunday and will then be told when the transfer time is on Monday. Of course the waiting is driving me crazy!! Sometimes I think that is the hardest part of this IVF game. The shots are simple compared to keep my PMA and not driving myself and dh crazy with worry. I know 7 is a good number but compared to how many embies I had to work with last time it seems so few. But it's quality not quantity right.
Sonya, Have you heard any further updates on your embies? I am thinking you will get another report tomorrow?
Nimble, the Poo question was great. I love how we are more comfortable asking a question like that here than to our doctors. It just shows how supportive everyone on this board really is. How is everyhting going for you now?
Kandice, Oh sweetie I wish I had the words to make you feel better right now! When I had my m/c they said if my body did not resolve it naturally I would have to have a d&c. That broke my heart and was to hard to face the truth, but on the other hand I had to realize that if that pregnancy did go full term there would be many problems with the baby. Although I would have loved that child regardless I want my child to have the best chance at a healthy life as possible. Sometimes I have to remember that God has a plan and a reason for everything. Now if you are like I was you are screaming" Well I wish he would let me in on his plan so that this would not hurt so much". I think almost everyone who has had a m/c (which is what you had) will say that we blamed ourselves but the truth is it is not your fault. To your Dad I just say Thanks you big jerk, I know he probably did not mean it the way it sounded but still you are in enough pain without his insensitive remark! I wish you and dh all the love and comfort in the world! Please try and believe that you did nothing wrong, it is not your fault.
