Boopin: hurray for the successful dental surgery, the Percocet, and the road ahead! So exciting you have a tentative transfer date! I think mine will be a few days after yours, but it will depend on when I get my next AF. I'm excited for you!!
Amanda: I think your plan is ideal. The embryo quality stats are in your favor, and of course, sadly, chromosomal issues are not the only potential obstacles... Personally, I'd rather spend money and time and energy on the transfers rather than on the testing--but of course, the testing can help you avoid eventual heartbreak, so it's hugely personal which way one goes. But again, I'm totally with you--I say, go for it. A 5-day blast is indeed already way more likely to work out than a 3-day embryo! As for the saline sonogram/hysteroscopy... Since you had a polyp in September, you might want to do that again. The doc who did mine on Monday said they do it before every FET, because polyps can show up anytime. So unless it's prohibitively expensive, I'd do that and stand the pain once more... Anyway, I'm sorry for your loss... it's really sad, but I'm also glad there's a lot of room for hope!
Also, I agree re. the ladies on this forum--thank you, gals, you are amazing and I feel really supported by you all!
Disneyfan: I'm really upset on your behalf about the 2 "normal" embryos not working out. It's heartbreaking, but it's also enraging. And I'd forgotten how young you were when you froze those. It all seems really wrong... But hey, I'm very hopeful for your medicated FET--I hope your body responds beautifully and makes an ideal home for that little frostie you've got. I think it's nice that you'll be coming into if after a lovely holiday and then your DD's birthday. A lot of positivity around, which I'm sure is really welcome after such disappointment...
Wish:
Hope: I hope you're enjoying your pregnancy, lovely lady!
I start norethisterone today, to downregulate, in preparation for the actual FET cycle. I don't like norethisterone because it means not trying naturally, but I keep telling myself it's all for a most excellent cause. I mean, I didn't know we even could make a blast in the first place!
