I've stayed off the boards for the past few days --- just felt like I needed some time away as I tried to get my head in a better place for Friday's ET. I was also hoping to keep myself relatively sane during my weekend bed rest and figured that hanging out on TB and internet wouldn't help.
That said, I probably would have felt perfectly safe over here on IFV -- you all were definitely in my thoughts and I was anxious to read your updates today.
Like last time, we made it to ET with 1 lone embryo. It didn't surprise us, but we were definitely disappointed that the second one didn't progress. We are, however, very grateful that we had the one to transfer. I'm hoping that my body once again demonstrates its sticky embie prowess -- just praying that this embie came from a much healthier egg than last time.
My beta is 8/16.
Thanks for all your support -- I'm so thankful to be part of this safe haven!

*lurking...*
Sending you (((hugs))) joules. I have fx for a great beta for you. For now, enjoy being PUPO.
I'm sorry you are feeling down. I have gone into transfer with one embie in the past as well. It is very hard to stay positive with only one. As you know there are many women who get ku with only one embie. Hang in there. (((Huge hugs)))
Snuggle in little one, snuggle in for the long haul!!!
