PUPO...Again

Yesterday at 11 am...we transferred two perfect embryos and I once again find myself PUPO - pregnant until proven otherwise - and I couldn't be happier!


Of the 6 embryos that we had on ice, they thawed two and I am happy to report that they both thawed perfectly and continued to grow right away. At the time of transfer, one was 16 cells (this one we've called Frank) and the other was 14 cells (this one is Polly)....

So Happy!

This time around was so much easier. We knew what to expect, we were relaxed and we managed to keep ourselves quite entertained while we waited before and after the transfer...

Aren't we great parent material?

I wore my favorite rock climbing socks in for the transfer...the nurses and Dr. loved them...Adam not so much...

What do you think? 

The transfer was the easy part...waiting until September 30th for me beta...that's going to be the hard part but I will do my best to...laugh everyday, relax, be thankful for what I have right in front of me and there will be no PAOS this time around!

How was your Friday? Any big weekend plans?

Keeping Secrets

I've been keeping a secret. I'm not even going to make you wait. I'm just going to come out and say it. I really don't like when people say, "Hey, I have news" and then ramble on for fifteen minutes about how they didn't know how to tell you, and would you like the good news or the bad news first. I mean, if you don't know how to tell me, then maybe you should have thought about it a little bit more before you brought it up, because now I'm just sitting here waiting while you find the perfect words to share news that...let's be honest...probably doesn't impact me in the slightest. And as for the good news/bad news question? What do you think? If you're really asking, I'd rather not hear the bad news at all. Because who wants to hear bad news? Unless it's just "bad" relative to the good news, but not really all that bad in its own right, well then I guess I wouldn't mind hearing it. And I might like to hear it first

Unexpected?

Just got the call that I had been fearing but perhaps was expecting. The embryos were not there. We have nothing. Heartbroken doesn't begin to describe how I am feeling.

Dilemma

Image
I’m having a bit of a dilemma. Which is putting it mildly. I am not sure whether to shut the factory down for good, or keep it chugging along in its pitiful, yet marginally functioning state. If things were normal, if *I* was normal (cue hysterical laughter here), then I might be happy to let things chug along as they were and see what happens. But things (my body and I) are far from normal and so I feel like I need to make a decision either way. Which really sucks and makes me feel a renewed sense of frustration, irritation and mourning for the sorry state of affairs of my reproductive bits. We recently had an appointment with our RE to discuss our options and see where we stand. It was great to touch base with Dr. L but as expected, nothing has really changed. My fertility has been on a fairly rapid decline and there's not much we can do to change that (FSH last tested at 20). It was good to hear that my tubes are open and that my uterus appears to be in good shape but despit
