[Psalm23v6]

Em - I echo what everyone else has said! 7 is a great number and they all fertilized - that's brilliant. Keeping everything crossed for Monday for you. xoxo

Fingers crossed em xx

7 is great EM! FX'd they all make it to blasts and come through PGD with shining colors!!

 

[Em260]

Thanks, ladies. I think I just needed to readjust my expectations. I'm normally a glass half full type of person but I swear being on these hormones does a number on me sometimes. This journey really is a roller coaster sometimes. Thanks for all of your kind words!

 

[Dizzy dolly]

I'm up and down all the time as it is and I'm not even on the meds yet so I can more then sympathis with u xx what's meant to be will be I have every hope for you x

 

[Cowgirl07]

I am a half empty person too. I hope they come through screening fabulously

 

[Renaendel]

I think I am a glass half full person for everyone but myself, then it is doom and gloom. You are doing the best that you can Em.

One of my friends said to me the other day stop trying to cross bridges you've not even come to yet and she's totally right but I still can't stop myself with the but what ifs haha

 

[Wish2BMom]

oh em, I am an optimist to a FAULT and this whole thing has me up and down by the hour sometimes! if i say so myself, you're in good company here!

I love your friend's advice, dizzy! on another thread, probably last year, someone from Ireland posted a little proverb that has stuck with me - "What is meant for you will not pass you by". If I was still into tattoos, I'd totally put this somewhere.

My first IVF i opted for assisted hatching. For some reason I thought maybe since my IUIs weren't working my eggs were too tough for the little guys to get in. It worked for me. This time I opted for it because they told me that with frozen embryos the lining could be even thicker. It worked once for me so I'm not going to change anything and hope that it works again without complications.

 

[Wish2BMom]

agreed - it worked for me so we're totally doing it again!

Hi all! Some great advice being spread around today!! It's wonderful. Sometimes in this journey I find it hard to be positive but you ladies are making it seem like a glass half full day. So thank you for that.

update on me - we had egg collection today and they got 7 eggs. Less than I was hoping for but enough. We will get a call tomorrow morning to tell us how many were mature and fertilized then we are scheduled either for Sunday (3 day transfer) or Tuesday (5 day transfer). Praying we get some blasts so we can go to Tuesday!! Grow embies grow!

Today the RE approved us to go ahead with September even with DHs MTHFR diagnosis. His counts are high enough that it doesn't matter! He is still getting his homocysteine checked and probably will go on a better suppliment but his already good sperm are apparently going to get even better!
