Well yesterday was an ...umm, interesting day! Our transfer was scheduled for 11:30am so we leave the house at about 9:15am. I'm waiting for about 10 minutes for my *darling* husband. We get down the street & he tells me he forgot something at home. WTF!! So I go back and wait a few more minutes. Now we are cutting it close to time & still need to stop and get my 2 liters of water since my bladder needs to be full. I drove down there so he could get some work done on his lap top. I was averaging about 80-85mph to try and make up some time. An hour before transfer I need to empty my bladder and start drinking. Luckily there was a rest stop so I did that quickly. We were about 20 minutes from the clinic & what happens???? I get frickin PULLED OVER!!!!!!! We try to explain to the officer that we are going to the Dr for IVF. He had no idea what that was so we had to say "invitro fertilization" and it is very time sensitive. He seemed like he was a little understanding & then says he still needs to give me a ticket. Thanks A$$HOLE!!! It was a speed trap and I got clocked by a cop that was on a bridge...83 in a 65...oops!! So I made hubby call the office to let them know we will be late...I was a nervous wreck at this point. So I get a whopping $120 fine but he didn't keep my license & I won't have to go to court.
We finally make it to the office & they all had a good chuckle about me getting a ticket! At least they weren't mad that we were late.
OK, now on to the good stuff. They give me valium to relax me & the tech comes in to tell us they are going to transfer 1 blast. OH NO, I don't think so!! I put up a fight for my 2 blasts!! He kept telling me...well according to the American Reproductive Society (or what ever he said) and your age, they recommend one. I told him this is my FOURTH transfer, we've always transferred 2 and they've never worked. He said he would go ask the Dr about doing two. Dr agreed & we got our two!!! YAY!!!!! We had transferred an "awesome" grade 2 & an "OK" grade 3...both with GES of 70's. The transfer took maybe 10 minutes & then I just layed there while we talked with the embryologist. Betas are next week on 5/25 & 5/27. Originally they had them for 5/27 & 5/31 but we leave for Florida on the 27th so the nurse moved them up for us. =)
Ive been a couch potato ever since yesterday and it's actually kind of boring. Today while I was watching some TV I got a call from the embryologist. She said unfortunately none of the remaining 6 embryos will be frozen. This is so upsetting! She did say she has high hopes for our "over-achiever" though. Please pray that this one works!! We only have 1 more cycle left in the package that we purchased.
5 more days until beta #1................
I'm praying for your sticky beans! I hope you won't news that one more cycle!
