2 Survived
The ER told us he had good news when we came in this morning. Much to our anticipation we were thinking all 4 embryos survived but he told us only 2 survived the thaw process. One of them had cleaved into a 9 cell already which was excellent and another was a 7 cell that was super hydrated which he said was good. We proceeded with transferring the 2 we had and hope that something happens this time. When I came out of the restroom, I saw the incubator wheeled into the hallway outside our room with a tiny petri dish under a microscope. Doug and I got to look at our little embryos in the incubator and it was simply fascinating. We saw the blastocysts, cells divided and all. It was the coolest thing to see because we are so used to just seeing images on the internet. These were actually our "babies". The procedure lasted about 5 minutes and it was done. The valium put me out pretty quickly so I slept during my recovery hour and then went home to start my 48 hours of bedrest. I am still using Crinone (progesterone) twice a day and then Vivelle estrogen patches - 4 at a time. Besides those 2 things, we just wait now until the 21st when we have our BPT. Staying positive and not obsessing this time.....maybe that will be better for my body. The kids are super excited so I would hate to deliver bad news again. We'll see in a couple weeks. What I am hoping is that this time I start to feel pregnant or that something is happening. I don't care if it is tiredness, nausea or whatever since the first cycle I didn't feel anything - probably because I wasn't pregnant. I am not thinking that this time will be different for some reason just because I haven't had time to think about anything. Baby Dust!!!
