Asterimou: you may already know this, but 60% is bang on for fertilization rates--3 out of 5 is kind of as good as it gets. I'm glad Lister was able to achieve that with ICSI... I'm sure you were expecting more--I would be--but as we all know, all you need is for one of those embryos to stick and stay stuck... And you've now got three chances of that! I hope you do get to transfer tomorrow, but if they decided to take these to blast, then I really hope they all make it... Good luck either way! You must be biting your nails... I so, so hope this is YOUR 3rd-time's-a-charm!
Disneyfan: wow, I'm... speechless... Firstly, I'm really sorry about your grandma... I hope you find time and space to mourn as much as you need...
As for the BFP, I'm so, so happy for you!!!!
I'm sure you've got a lot of anxiety about this, too, but I really hope that what you really needed was a nice, restful break from TTC in order for it to actually happen... I really hope this LO snuggling into your lining right now becomes your second rainbow baby! Best of luck with the tests tomorrow--I hope your beta, and whatever else gets measured, comes out at great levels!
Wish: I hope you're enjoying your (relative) break!
Scooby: Are you in hyper-efficient-packing-mode?!
Amanda: Can I just say THANK YOU for sticking around and cheering us all? You are so, so sweet!
Boopin: I hope everything went well at today's beta!!!
AFM: After some clot stuff came out, I seem to be spotting again. My theory: a precarious scab had formed and has now been dislodged. Kinda can't wait for it to stop, but I am keeping Disneyfan's experience in mind--it's only been, like, a week for me. Hey, anyone know any decent clinics or ob/gyns in Australia?! My NY RE wants me to have a saline-infused sonogram after AF arrives, and I'll almost certainly be in either Sydney or Cairns when that happens... right around Christmas!
Oh, yeah, re. circus I think I'd mentioned it before, but my fave way of exercising became these circus classes: silks, static trapeze, and handstands. But this term with all the travel and being careful for different reasons and whatever, I haven't made it even once--I'm not renewing for next term, since I'll have to go back to NY--I'll stick to yoga and pilates and walking the dog instead...
