Relieved Does Not Even Begin to Describe It May 9, 2005

Yesterday was hard. The whole mother’s day thing combined with my pre FET freak out just about did me in. I survived, and I’m glad I did.

I made it to transfer today, and I cannot tell you how relieved I am. After waiting forever and a year to learn about our embryos, we found out that all 3 of our blasts survived the thaw and did not lose anything in terms of quality. Can’t ask for anything better than that. We transferred 1 grade 4 and 2 grade 3’s (1-5 scale with 5 being highest). This is our lowest quality transfer thus far, but I’m just so glad they all made it.

Wanna hear even more good news? I had by far the easiest transfer yet. It only took about 15 minutes, and my cervix didn’t even have to be dilated. My RE still had to mess with the tenaculum, but it went so much better than my previous ETs. They also took a peek at my lining, and it looked at least as thick as it was on Wednesday, so that was good news as well.

So, I survived today pretty much unscathed. Everything went so much better than I expected. Now I just have to survive the 2ww. Beta’s on 5/20.

All good thoughts are coming your way. Hope the 2ww is bearable.

So relieved everything went well! Now for the hardest part….waiting. The 2 ww is always especially difficult for me due to not being able to workout…or do most things I normally like to do for that matter! Do you have some things planned to keep your mind off things?

What great news! And amazing about your cervix. Dare I say it is like she (she being Cindy Cervix) knows what to do now? My fingers are crossed for you. Now if only the next ten days would hurry up and pass.

Thank goodness - some good news! I am so glad for you and your hub. Now all you have to do is let those 3 get nice and cosy, right?

Glad to hear it was the least painful transfer you’ve been through.

Do you have any good ideas on how to stay sane through this 2ww?
