Take Two.....

Well, today was the FET. We have got to stop showing up so early for these appointments. We keep getting there way too early and end up sitting in the car reading for almost an hour. When we finally went in, it was not long before they called me back to the room. I remembered my book this time so I was not as bored. I was hot in there though. It was almost 90 degrees today and these buildings do not have air conditioning. Finally a little while later, I was called into the room. They went to get Barry and I got into the "torture chair." It all seemed to go so much faster this time, maybe since we knew what would happen. While we waited, they showed us the 3 they would put back. They kept saying they were beautiful (I later asked what the difference was between these and the first cycle and they told me that there was no difference). ARGH! They put them in and that was that. They gave me the new protocol for the 2WW and I went to the recovery room again and had to wait 20 minutes. While I was waiting, the lady came in and told me about different meds I needed. Turns out that I have to do an HCG shot for a couple days so that the pregnancy hormone is in my body like it would be naturally. Confused, but okay. And I have to do the progesterone shot again. Other than that, everything is pretty much the same as before. We only have 5 left because we lost one in the thaw.

I am trying to take it easy but this whole "try not to think about it" mantra makes it difficult. I keep getting up and doing things instead of just sitting around. Then we got hit with this wind and rainstorm (the worst only lasted like 10 minutes). There was tons of damage to both cars and trees. We had some dents and paint chips and then a cracked windshield. Oh well, the military's fault (most of the damage was from roof tiles). A little stressful and hard to completely take it easy.

Oh, did take video this time but all 3 seemed to bunch together so they are very hard to see. But I will add a picture of the 3. They were a 5 cell Type B, 4 cell Type A, and a 4 cell Type B. I think that might be pretty good for a 2 day transfer. We also did assisted hatching so hopefully that helps. Look for the arrow on the picture, that is where they opened up the embryo's shell.

Okay, enough for now. Blood test is the 14th of July. That would be a great early anniversary present!

Again, sorry little ones, you did not make it. So sorry that we did not get the chance to meet you. I pray that some of your siblings will stick around for us to know.
