Transfer today went as smoothly as we could possibly have hoped. We arrived on time, bladder full but not bursting (after four cycles, I've finally got this part down) and were quickly called back. The embryo report wasn't as good as I had hoped. Both survived, but only one was expanding. The other was still "dehydrated" and showed some improvement before transfer, but still.
Dr. Down-to-Earth was encouraging, but not overly effusive. I am probably reading too much into it. I am considering this a transfer of a single embryo at this point, as I have little hope our second embryo will do much. I'm resting and taking care of myself and remaining hopeful and positive. It's out of my hands, anyway.
Do I sound conflicted? I am. I want to be all sunshine and roses, but I am all too aware that things might not go the way I want them to. Still -- it only takes one, and shitty embryos have been known to produce beautiful babies before.
If it isn't too much to ask, Universe, could you send a few unicorn sprinkles my way?

Congratulations on a successful transfer! I am totally with you on wanting to be just excited, but knowing too much and having too much experience to let loose and just hope.
ReplyDeleteBut, I'll be hoping for you!!!! Take care of yourself!
Congrats on your transfer. With so many variables and having been through so much no wonder you are confused, I know I would be (am still am in my own situations). Here is to many sticky vibes for those embies! Hope your 2ww breezes by with nothing but good news!
ReplyDeleteYay! Sending lots of sticky vibes your way!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!!! I will be waiting for news, and thinking hopeful thoughts for you for the next two weeks!
ReplyDeleteDear MoJo Snowbabies,
ReplyDeletePlease find a nice spot in Jo's ute. Snuggle in and grow. If you do, I promise to ohh and ahh at all ultrasound photos and milestones.
XOXO
Wishing you the best of luck!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy being PUPO :) I'm talking to the Universe about those unicorn sprinkles right now!
ReplyDeleteMy twins started out as real crappy embryos. I remember my RE being about as bummed out at that transfer as he's ever been. He just kind of shrugged his shoulders. I held out no hope at all. Miracles happen. I hope sooo much that it's your turn to get one.
Sending so many positive vibes your way! And telling the universe to get its shit together and make this THE ONE (or two?) for you!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for some good news and a bit of peace in the wait!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and sending best wishes! ~Denise
ReplyDeleteHow on earth did I miss the fact that you are doing a FET? I hope it works!
ReplyDeleteI hope that Reproducina works in your favor in a way that she never did for me and my IPs! Many, many huge hugs to you, my friend.
