And Then There Were Four July 23, 2005

I got the fertilization report call this morning. Out of the seven eggs retrieved, five were mature and four fertilized with ICSI. I am thankful to have four but still very, very nervous.

In the past, I’ve never worried about having something to transfer. Now I am. I even asked the nurse who called me if they would call me on Monday if none of them made it. In the past we’ve had really strong embryos, so I have to hope that these are fighters, too.

Transfer is scheduled for Monday afternoon. If we have something to transfer, I’ll be having my transfer done under anesthesia again. Hopefully my wonky cervix will behave itself.

Until then, I’ll be holding my breath.

Your previous embryos HAVE been fighters! I am crossing my fingers that these divide and grow and am thinking about you through this wait.

Sometimes less is more. More strong, more able to fight. Thinking about you and wishing you well for Monday.

Holding it right along with you. And hoping like hell for good news and a cervix that throws caution–and wonkiness–to the wind. You’re in my thoughts :-)
