Frosties

Just got off the phone with my clinic...we have TWO frosties!  I know I am very lucky to have any left to freeze at all, but I can't help but feel down.  I really thought we would have more to freeze... 

Anyway!  I will keep my spirits up and hope that these two blasts just snuggle in and we won't have to worry about a FET at all!

 

PS -- For any of you that follow my blog, from here on out you will see discrepancies between what I post here and what I say on the blog.  We only told our family (and the blog) that we transferred one blast.  Also, we are telling everyone that our beta isn't until after the Christmas holidays.  Just in case any of you were wondering what in the world was going on...

    Two on ice is actually really good. I haven't heard too many people with more than that of high enough quality to freeze. They want really good embryos to survive the thaw and all that noise, from what I understand. So I think you should feel awesome about getting four blasts from a cycle!

    GL with beta!

    (PS: How are you going to explain to everyone if you happen to be PG with twins?)

    Thanks Scoop.  If we are lucky enough to get pregnant with twins, we would come clean about the transfer (obviously).  Our family has a hard time understanding that this IVF thing is not a guarantee.  If we told them we transferred two and only one takes, they would be devestated.  We told them that we transferred one excellent expanding blast, which is true.  We just didn't tell them we also transferred an early blast that they used AH on.  They would be so excited about twins that they will forgive our white lie about the transfer.  ;o)

    Ah! OK. Yeah, I totally get that most people don't understand the process very well. I'm all for limiting information as needed. Good luck!

    Nope you are definitely not crazy!  I meant to mention it in my PUPO post yesterday, but I forgot!  You ladies are getting the WHOLE truth!
