Re: 6 Little "Stormies"
*** Ticker Warning***
I am so excited for you. I have been waiting for this news. I have everything crossed that I can possibly cross and am sending you all my prayers, good thoughts, groovy vibes and good juju. Whatever it takes!!!
Hell yeah! Now, even if you lose a few over the next few days though of course I hope you won't, just remember that I am sitting here nursing the only decent embryo left on day 5 and only a "fair" one at that! ;

I am so happy to read this! I was worried Sandy was going to throw a wrench in this!
How many will you transfer? Two, three? Or will it be a game time decision?
DS born via unplanned C-section at 40w6d
I will put two back if I have them. Hoping for once not to leave an ET in tears due to terrible embryos...

Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive. Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)
DE IVF #1 (4/26) BFN DE FET #1 (6/4) BFP! Beta 1=339 Beta 2=852 Beta 3=9957 EDD 2/22/15!!
