TTC after 35

Sitting here...**UPDATED**

On the train.. from Seattle to Portland..just crying :( I just want to know, I hate waiting.

 My cray cray IF brain is on overload.

This is day 6... 1104am PST... no call...no news..no idea if we have any blasts... 

I'm ready for all of this to be over, I want to move on with my life!!!!!!!!Crying

Thanks for listening....

ETA: After my meltdown on the train, I made it to my Portland office.  The cell rang just as I was walking in the door to my first meeting....I had to let it go to  voicemail.  I found a discrete location to myself and listened to the message from the embryologist...

We have four beautiful high quality blast that have been frozen / biopsied.  I don't know the exact grade of each one.  We should have the genetic results by end of week. I'm very caustiously optimistic.  I know, I need to celebrate the moment and I will..just wish my husband was with me. I also know, this is only the beginning of the process.  I'm staying positive, I believe in the power of prayer and positive thinking.

Thank you all, it really means alot to see the encouragement.
