Update 2 - AW Update - Day 2!! FERT Report Day 1

anitaflora · March 2014

Update 2: Got a call this morning that all 3 are at 8 cells and we are able to wait until day 5 (Monday) for transfer!!! Absolutely on cloud 9 right now and just couldn't ask for a better outcome. We might end up doing a single embryo transfer and freeze 1-2 depending on how they do. But I am feeling so grateful and blessed. Thank you all again! Xoxoxox

____________________________________________
UPDATE:

(short version):

I feel like a complete AW, and I hope you'll all forgive me for being so... but I'm so excited.... tentatively!

Just got a call from the RE that all three are doing really well! Plan is to more than likely transfer 2 tomorrow, which would be day 3, but he said there was a small chance depending on how they do overnight that we might be looking at transferring 2 on day 5 which would be Monday.

Longer stuff:

I am so excited but also so, so terrified to be excited.

When I saw the phone number come up I was sure it was going to be bad news. I thought, well if they're calling me this early in the day it must mean they've arrested. Then I heard the RE's voice instead of the nurse and I thought, really - crap - this is going to be bad news.

But it wasn't!!! And I literally had tears welling up in my eyes. I keep reminding myself that making it to transfer is not a guarantee of any kind... that I may not get a BFP... that even if I get a BFP it might very likely turn into another loss... early like my others, or later.... so while I'm excited, I'm also very, very guarded right now and it's a really hard place to be. But I'm trying not to let myself worry too much because I really feel like that's just not going to get me anywhere. If I just let myself worry too much, I'm going to miss out on the exciting parts!

Thank you, thank you again so much for all of your responses and encouragement - apparently they've worked and I just can't say enough how thankful I am for the support of this community. I am so sorry that we are all here... I wish none of us had to go through any of the heartbreak that is TTCAL, but I couldn't ask for a more amazing group of ladies to share this journey with.

_____________________________

Of the 7 retrieved, only 3 were mature but all 3 fertilized.

So - I'm not holding my breath as much for this moment.

At this moment I actually have 3 fertilized embryos! So that's something to celebrate I think! It is actually really exciting to think, hey, my future rainbow might be one of those three dividing and growing right this minute!

But I'm also scared to death they're going to arrest overnight or before transfer. She said she would call me tomorrow to let me know how they were growing and we could talk about transfer times. And I guess... if I end up to be lucky enough... a decision on how many to transfer.

Fingers crossed I have a decision to make and make it to then!

Thank you for all the love ladies!

My guess is that if they make it it will be a day 3 transfer. But I think it's really going to depend on how well they're growing or not etc. I'm just trying to not think about it too much yet until I know that we have something to actually transfer... I've seen so many ladies be heartbroken that they don't make it to transfer... I know I could easily be in that situation so I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

If I was actually lucky enough to have them growing really, really well and the RE thought it advisable I guess we could go to Day 5 since I know that means it would be at the blastocyst stage which has a better outcome... but I have a feeling my RE is going to say let's not risk waiting at all and just transfer them. But I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Thank you to all you amazing, awesome, fabulous ladies for so many good wishes!!! They help me so, so much I really can't say that enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
