Losing my mind up in here up in here

in Infertility

So.  The 6 day transfer was yesterday.  I have 2 beautiful little embies right now that I refer to as my Snowflakes.  It was snowing yesterday for one and for two, I noticed that the pic of the embryos looked almost identical to the snowflakes after they hit my windshield lol.

This was after they retrieved 32 eggs.  23 of them fertilized and 11 made it to blasts.  I feel so lucky to have had the cycle that I have had.  It comes with it's costs.  I still am living in a hotel (due to the stupid ish Sandy) until Dec 15th.  My beta will be 12/5 though, so one week from today!!  This has so far been the longest day of my life!!!  

Good luck to everyone!!

    Thanks!  It just makes it go by so slowly being here.  If I were home, I could be cleaning, cooking, or walking to friends.  Or knowing me, it would be just as bad and I like to just blame everything on the storm lol.

    Me 38 MH 41 - TTC since June 2010 - dx with Severe MFI. Straight to IVF with ICSI. IVF #1 - ER 06/13/12 - 9 Eggs Retrieved - 4 ICSI'd - only 2 fert. 06/15/12 - 2DT - 3 cell & 6 cell with fragmentation. Beta 06/29/12 - IVF #1 = BFN. 07/20/12 - WTF Appt -Told by our RE to quit IVF. Second Opinion from RE is good. IVF#2 - November 2012. Estradiol Pills Started 11/6. Stims start 11/16. ER 11/26 - 7 eggs retrieved - all mature. 4 fertilized with ICSI. ET 11/29 Transferred 3 embryos. Beta is 12/10. 1st Beta 81 2nd Beta 160 and 3rd beta 360!!! First U/S 12/21/12 - We saw one beautiful gest. sac. 2nd U/S is 01/04/2013 - H/B 183 02/05/13 - NT Scan - everything looks good and IT'S A BOY!  Aiden was born 08/20/2013.

    IVF #2 is in progress.  ER was 05/12/14 - 11 eggs retrieved, 8 fertilized with ICSI.  ET was 05/15/14 - we transferred 3 embryos as we did on the cycle my son was conceived.  We were able to freeze 3 embryos. Beta is scheduled for 05/26/14.  1st beta - 111.  2nd beta - 159 didn't double :( 3rd beta Friday 5/30) - not a lot of hope left. Beta # 3 is 247 - probably ectopic.  Beta # 4 is 813 - possibly vanishing multiple sydrome?  06/05/14 - 5w4days - first U/S - we see a gestational sac and yolk - still have hope!  06/17/14 - 7w1day - U/S and saw and heard the heartbeat - Finally!  06/27/14 - 8w4days - Baby and heartbeat look and sound great :)  EDD 02/01/14 and It's a boy!
