Home from ET

And they transferred my one perfect embie!!!!!

The embie is a grade 8 A - so exactly perfect for a 3dt. I am so happy!!!!!

There was one not so good thing about today. My regular RE and I agreed that they would do assisted hatching for a 3dt, even though their normal criteria is age 38. I will be 38 in May. I even checked wth them on Friday when they called and they confirmed it was ordered.

I guess I should have asked again first thing today because they didn't do it. It was one of the other RE's who did the ET and I asked her at the end. She was unsure and checked with the embryologist when he popped his head back in the room and he said no, because I didn't meet age criteria.

I was very upset. The RE went to review my file, she saw it was ordered. I cried. She tried to tell me how there is research that shows it isn't effective and it has risks, blah, blah. Then she said there is no way to prove it would actually help and I said there was no way to prove it wouldn't.

So basically she acknowledged that it was supposed to happen and there was a breakdown of communication. The RE who did the ET is going to call my regular RE later today to discuss things. I don't know if I have any recourse - hopefully it won't matter.

I am trying to stay positive. DH says we can't worry about this now. We have to stay focused on our perfect little one. So I am trying. Had acupuncture before and after. No embie pic, my RE's office doesn't do them. My beta will be on March 9th.

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. Please keep sending them!!!! I just know they have helped me so much!!

Go little embie go! I'm so sorry that they didn't do everything that was ordered. I've got fingers and toes crossed that your embie is a rock star.

Rest and take it easy and let that little baby settle in!

I'm praying for you and your perfect embrie. I really try to picture the embrie implanting and not worry about the assisted hatching. I think it's totally ok to be upset by it but worrying about it isn't going to help. If for some reason this doesn't take (which we're not worrying about now) I would ask since they screwed up if they'd cover maybe part of the next IVF. But since you're not going to have to worry about it because it is going to work. Your embrie is going to get snug like a bug in a rug! Good luck!

How frustrating! I'm so sorry that it didn't go according to plan.

I'm keeping everything crossed that embie sticks with you for the next nine months!

That's really annoying that they didn't follow the orders like they were supposed to. They should do something about it. Your little rock star is going to snuggle in anyway!

Snuggle in, little embie! I'm sorry about the oversight on their part, I don't blame you at all for being mad/frustrated.

I have everything crossed that your little embie is settling in for a nice nine-month stay.

Thanks girls. I really hope it won't matter either - at least that is what I keep telling myself. Trying to stay super positive and hope for the best. I've been in bed all day - watched some funny movies and took a nap. DH is heating up lasagna I made the other day and making garlic bread. He has been taking super good care of me.

Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers.
