I'm sorry that the news was not what you had hoped with the cryopreservation. <br /><br />I think the need for back-up plans is a natural part of navigating all of this but--of course--I'm hoping that there won't be a need for plan B, let alone C. <br /><br />Your attitude is admirable, your strength inspirational, your hope infectious. I hope good things with/for you soon and in the future. You certainly have every right to be disappointed in this news and also to feel attached to your embryos.

The huge rate of attrition is amazing, though. When I found out only 4 of my 8 eggs fertilized I knew it was pretty common but a teeny tiny little voice in my head was like "hey! keep a better watch on my eggs!" Silly, but what can you do, right?<br /><br />-A Here’s hoping that Plan A succeeds and that there is no need to go to Plan B, etc. Three to freeze is actually not too shabby.

I say this because you may have one or two little ones inside growing right now, so you want to stay on as much of an emotional even keel as you possibly can. (I hear you laughing, but stop it. I'm serious!) <br /><br />I'll say an extra prayer tonight that Plan C is thoroughly unnecessary.
