We have now officially cracked and told all family. I'm still trying to remain cautious, and fully realize that things can still go wrong and there are no guarantees. But I did get a fortune cookie back in May that I held on to, because I'm hoping it's prophetic. It reads, "You will have full contentment by summer's end." I take my final beta on August 12, which is the last day of my summer vacation. That's pretty eerie. All I know is that after everything Brian and I have been through this year, we're due for some miracles.

A+ for Effort
I'm happy to report that I slept so much better last night! This morning we got our punctual update from the embryologist. At this point, all 15 embryos have divided into 4 cells. I am still so amazed and excited! 13 are currently scoring A+'s, with 1B and 1C (Brian said that gives us a GPA of 3.8... I was always a good student.). So, she said it would be too difficult to choose the best ones tomorrow, meaning we will be going for a 5dt at 11:00 on Saturday! She cautioned us that typically only about 40-50% of them will make it to blastocysts, but that she's fully anticipating excellent embryos for the transfer and extras to freeze! I'm a little bummed that we won't get any more updates until Saturday, but so far so good.

ReplyDeletePeaches, thanks for your comments! I can't access your blog though. :(
ReplyDeleteYou started Lupron on the day of my 3day transfer. You started stimming the day I got my positive beta. Your transfer will be exactly when I reach the 6-weeks-pregnant mark. I think that means good luck, don't you? Congratulations on the beautiful embies! Sending sticky vibes for transfer day!
ReplyDelete15? That's a lot of kids, Lisa. You sure you're ready for that?? :) :) I wish you all the luck in the world. Keep us posted!
