Transfer Day

Today was transfer day. A bit nerve wracking but I honestly went into the clinic with no expectations, mostly because there could be so many different outcomes for this FET. So I was very pleased to find that the clinic only had to thaw one vial (my oldest embryos) and both embryos made the thaw. They were a 4-cell and 6-cell, grade II. When the embryos were thawed yesterday each embryo lost two cells (apparently this is common). Fortunately they each regrew those two cells so at transfer this afternoon I still had a 4-cell and 6-cell. I still have 5 remaining embryos, all 4-cells and 5-cells.

So now I'm just laying on the couch at my friend Susanne's house. Tomorrow I leave to fly back home and I pray to God that the blizzard that's headed Northeast won't leave me stranded at the airport. I also hope to post my giveaway tomorrow so stay tuned!!!!

Oh, and beta day is February 9th. Only 9dp3dt so I might not get a positive pee stick till the day before or the day of beta. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

    That's the wonderful thing about FETs -- you get a BETA much faster. Oh and you don't have to take all those stupid meds or have an egg retrieval. Come to think of it, there are many wonderful things about FETs -- particularly when they result in real life babies! Keep thinking positive! Don't fret too much over those pee sticks. I took one 5 days after transfer of two blasts and another one at six days. They were both negative. At 8 days, I got a very faint positive and got my positive beta the next day. My little Andrew is napping as I type this. Hope you make it home safe and that those little embies have nestled in for a long, pleasant and uneventful pregnancy!

    Fingers crossed!! Remember that FET can work!! i would advise not to pee on a stick before beta day this time around, try to enjoy the "not-knowing" bit, who knows, you may be surprised!! Love, Fran
