About Me
I'm 37 and have been happily married since Sept. 2002. Ivan is truly my companion in life. Our TTC journey has felt like a never ending roller coaster ride. We had an ectopic PG in Dec. 04 and in April 05 found out my IF is due to tubal abnormality. We were told IVF was our only hope. July 05 we did IVF # 1 and it was a chemical PG. We did IVF # 2 in Oct. 05 and it was a BFN. In Jan. 06 we did a combined fresh and frozen embryo transfer and it was a BFN. We were determined not to give up our dream of having a baby. IVF # 4 was in April 06. The cycle worked like a charm and on December 20, 2006 we were blessed with Hannah and Matthew. |
Wednesday, April 26, 2006 A dozen reasons to be hopeful
ER went well. I'm still sore and very bloated but it is worth it.
Fertilization report: 24 eggs retrieved 16 mature 12 fertilized normally 75% fertilization rate...that is the best we've ever done. Since we are participating in the study transfer will be on Sunday. Right now my lil ones are in midtown while their culture is on it's way if not already in Vegas. We won't get any details until Sunday. I'm hoping for 4 so we will have 2 to freeze but 2 will be perfect. He forewarned me that in the end there wouldn't be too many embryos left but to remember they would be "competent". I'm feeling hopeful in the sense that this is as good as it gets. This is the best cycle I've had and in terms of embryo quality this will be the best. I'm trying to be positive BUT of course doubt/fear always creeps in. I won't even get into "what if it doesn't work" and believe that it can. So for the remainder of this cycle I will be believing and preparing for a positive. I can't believe I can actually have positive thoughts with the negative person that I am but for now it's the best attitude to have. 27 Comments:
