Sunday- egg retrieval 16 eggs retrieved. I felt GREAT!
Monday- my RE called with first FERT, only 7 fertilized. I'll be honest I was shocked. We had ICSI so I thought more would fertilized. Hence my debbie downer phase begins. I talk to the RE about possible day 3 transfer instead of day 5. I was terrified we wouldn't have any left by then. She agreed to re-evaluate Tuesday night.
Tuesday- my nurse calls, we already lost one embryos and the ones left were barely dividing at this point. Later that evening I spoke with the RE, by that point we had one 5 cell, one 6, brand the rest were 2-4. My hope was a little restored. I was hoping that 5 cell was our take home baby. RE agreed to do day 3 ET with 3 embryos. YAY!!! For some reason I just think this gives them the best chance being in the mother ship!
Wednesday- ET. Hubby and I decided to go have a nice lunch and do a little xmas shopping (which was so fun and kept my mind off of things AND i had the best mac and cheese of my life!) I went to acupuncture before (And after) and had the ET at 4pm. The doctor was a little weird. He sounded like the guy on roller skates from austin powers. This was the first cycle where we got good news at the ET. My hubs and I were in good spirits and joking and laughing while waiting. So they Doc came in and talked to us about our embies. We still had a total of 6. We transferred one 11cell and two 10 cells. At first the Doc said they don't grade anymore!?! But after he left I asked the embryologist to come back and explain the quality. She said they were all "good." I of course said define good! She said they were like a grade A. They were dividing well and had no fragmentation. Which seems awesome! I'm cautiously optimistic. The only negative was the doctor came in and said "I know you have talked to dr. E and decided to transfer 3. So you know the risks and agree to reduce if you get pregnant with multiples." ERRR hold the phone pal. No I did not agree to that. Yes I'm aware of the risks but I will definitely not be reducing anything! My RE is aware of all of this. Fortunately after showing me some reading material he was satisfied and did the transfer. I don't know what the Hell he was doing down there but I've never had such a painful ET. It felt like he had some of my lady bites pinched. I left a mark on my hubbys hand from squeezing.
SOOO.....Now my 3 amigos are in the mother ship. I'm praying to God for some baby dust, sticky vibes, all of the above. I will be happy with 1,2,or3. I won't lie I am afraid of 3 just because of the complications but what a blessing anything would be. Again, it's in God's hands!
Here are my 3 amigos! Can't wait to meet you babies!
