Hi Girls.

Special mention to Chubbs if the rest don't mind, as can't find her original message. I am sure it was her who said she only had one embryo suitable for implantation. I wanted to write this, as I know exactly how she feels. I have my ET tomorrow at 11:20 & am in the same boat.

Although I got 8 eggs, got phone call this morning to say only 3 matured/fertilized & unfortunately there was only 1 worth putting back. Have to phone clinic before go tomorrow to see if any better news, but not hopeful. How do you stay positive in this situation? Not expecting much at all now.

Sorry not to have replied to the others, but I am still getting used to this & couldn't get the other messages back to reply to.

Apologies to those I have missed.

I am thinking of you all though.

Keep in touch.

Love & best wishes, Mandy. :twisted: :cry:

Mandy
thanks for your lovely message. It does only take one embi to get pregnant but it hurts big time when firstly you are told that you had 8 eggs but only one embi to transfer. I have had three cycles now the first only producing one embi, the second two and this last one. Depending where I am on this emotional rollercoaster depends how positive I can be. The August Cycle buddies and this site have provided that support I need as no one really knows what it is really like to go through this. I think you do have to be positive even if it is one, but the embryos can develop in the first 48 hours so there may be more news on your others.

Todays a good day (although feeling very irritable) with DH around to distract me from my negative thoughts and it sounds from all your other messages that you have excellent family support.
I'll be watching your mails re ET and all the very best and thanks again for your supportive message
