Yesterday at around 4:00 pm, Dr. L called me to see how I was doing. Billy was really impressed that the doctor called me himself on a Sunday afternoon. I have to admit, I was really nice and did make me feel like I wasn't just a number.
He told me to call today at 8:30 am to see how my embryos were doing and if they were doing very well, he would think about doing the transfer today.
So at 8:15 am, I was sitting in the dressing room...Billy was laying in bed. I started to fold laundry waiting for 8:30. I hear "You do the jitterbug"....and I look over at Billy who was playing music on his phone. He looks at me and says - "This will be the last thing you hear before you get the embryo results". Ummmm...really? Thanks babe. LOL!!!
So 8:30 comes and I call. Dr. L gets on the phone. He said that we really did well. Most people do not get 9 embryos on a cycle..4 or 5 at the most. 2 of our embryos were a little slow but the other 7 were strong and looked great but he wanted to let them grow in the lab for a few more days so Wednesday will be our day. He also said that not all the embryos will make it to Wednesday but that was okay because we really want the strong one to transplant.
I was and still am a little bummed about the 2 embryos. And yeah I know..God's will and all but they are still embryos. MY embryos. 2 tiny pieces of Billy and I. The beginnings of 2 lives. I never really thought I would feel that way about them. It's strange and amazing at the same time.

So anxious to hear how you are doing. How many were transferred? How are you feeling?
ReplyDeleteI am good hun. Really anxious about Friday. They ended up transferring 3 instead of 2 because they were a little slow, which the doctor said was normal.
DeleteHow are you feeling?
