Re: ***January Snowdrops Check-In 1/28/14**
I suppose I will update you all on my progress for the hopeful hearts. I had my baseline sono yesterday and all looks well, we will start Lupron on Wednesday. My favorite nurse did my sono and she was telling me I should put bak 2 this time cause as much as she loves seeing me she wants me to move on. I really appreciate comments like that and it shows me how much they care.
QOTD: I would meet... gosh this is hard!! lol. Well my inital response was Aaron Rodgers from the Greenbay Packers, but I feel like that would be a really wasted opportunity, and I should meet someone more profound... but not sure who.
ET 9/10 - transferred 1 perfect 5AA blast
7dp5dt BFP ~~ Beta on 9/19 - 77.4 Beta #2 on 9/21 - 357
Low heartbeat on 10/7 86, lower heartbeat on 10/11 76, no heartbeat 10/14/13. D&C 10/15/13
Tests revealed MTHFR c677t mutation, put on Folgard.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FET #1 1/6/14 - 4BB blast - BFN
Transfer is scheduled for tomorrow at 12:30.
As of yesterday morning all 8 embryos were still growing and 7 or the 8 had the right number of cells (4 had 7 cells and 3 had 8 cells). My big worry right now is that 4 of the 7 were given my clinics poorest grade. I know a lot can change between day 3 and 5, so I am trying not to worry too much about the grading. We had a grade 2 embryo become a grade 1 blast last cycle.
I won't receive anymore updates on my embryos until transfer tomorrow. The only reason the clinic will call tomorrow is to either cancel our transfer because we have no viable embryos, or push us back to a day 6 transfer if it looks like our embryos need an extra day. So I am hoping right now that I don't get any phone calls from the clinic for the next. 27 hours!
QOTD: This is a hard one, I'll think on it and update if I come up with someone.

Hi Snowdrops! Still in the two week wait over here as well. Beta on Monday. I will probably POAS this weekend so I have some idea of the outcome (as I am having to wait 19 days between ER and Beta - Grr!). Also, I hate getting called with the Beta result at work - I would rather learn from the stick if it didn't work and be able to process it over the weekend.
QOTD: I have no idea. Probably my Granddad who passed away 10 years ago. He would have loved my DH.
Married 10/06
Baby Girl "C" arrived on 10/07/14 (39 weeks, 6 days)
Good luck tomorrow to @sunshinedaisies000 and @twinkie0612 !!!

Hi ladies! Sorry I'm so late this week but I was on travel for my job.
We got our PGD test results yesterday and all three of our blastocysts are chromosomally normal! I'm thrilled and really hoping we have a miracle baby in the group. We are doing another retreival in February so we likely won't have a transfer until March but I'm so relieved.
