Update

Well, we had our transfer on Wednesday. It was disappointing that only two had made it to blast as of that time (we had 21 fertilize). We had about 5 that were morulas and another 8 or so that were 12 cell. They normally transfer only two, but as we've already had two failed cycles we transferred 3. The two blasts and a morula. I thought we'd have lots to freeze, but only two more made it blast, so they were frozen. I've been laying around the house, and feeling very tired - laziness begets laziness, I guess.

They won't do a beta until 14 days post transfer - April 13th. That is a long way off, so we'll hopefully get some symptoms before then. I'm off of homerest tomorrow, so time will go by more quickly, thank goodness. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for your well wishes!

Hang in there, the 13th will be here before you know it! Sorry to hear you're disappointed in your frostie count. But 2 is better than 0? That is my fear. Hoping you will not need to use your frosties and get pg this time.....sending you sticky vibes!

Hang in there. the hormones are not helping your feeling either so remember you are pregnant until proven otherwise. At my last tranfer the doctor looked a me and said congratulations, youre pregnant!

My clinic does the beta 14 days post retrieval you might want to double check that they didnt mean post retrieval and not post transfer.

STICKY THOUGHTS!!!

Shell,

The waiting game is tough......take care of you and be as lazy as you can and drink lots of fluids. We are here for you in the meantime. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and will be waiting to hear your updates.
