Holy hot dog! I don't check in for a few days and look at all of this excitement! 😀
Sis--Wahoozie!!!!! When I saw your tests, those looked like nice lines for further on down the road
I had no idea you were so early DPO when you took them!! Happy to hear that your doctor is going to get you in for another beta to help ease your fears. Does your insurance cover all of the betas, even if they don't fall within the doctors guidelines for when you should have them done? Like, if you get an extra one at your request, will you have to pay out-of-pocket for it or does your insurance cover it at no cost? BTW, I'm so GLAD you didn't go to NYC!!
Terri--Sending so MANY positive vibes for your perfect little embie!! I know that you're disappointed that there weren't more to test, but you have the best possible grade embie you can have. Out of all that drinking and carrying on that your DH did, you guys still created a very healthy little embie and the testing will tell u the rest. I mean if u think about it, in the traditional means of TTC, you typically get one egg that you know nothing about. Then you hope that the sperm will make it all the way to where she is hanging out. The timing of that happening has to be just right because you have such a short window before she says, "Hasta la vista!" You are in a spot now where you at least know that sperm met egg and that embie is going strong. Who knows how long just THAT part would've taken in the normal cycle (even without the sperm issues). And yes, I believe that Moni may have had only one to transfer and it was a grade C or something along those lines so she was not very hopeful. Just keep chanting in your head, it only takes one, it only takes one!!!
Blues-- How completely frustrating that the procedure was a bit of a waste and that now there maybe concerns that the fibroid is growing it will have to be removed. But read again what Terri wrote because that was perfectly put. And you know that the delay, if there is going to be one to remove the fibroid, is in the best interest of your process here, but nonetheless I'm sure it is very disappointing. Please keep us updated with your journey, it's so nice to hear from you and we all want to be pulling for you each step of the way!
Wish--I'm sure your baking skills are on point and they will turn out delicious!!! That is such a wonderful thing to do for their wedding. If you wouldn't mind sharing the recipe, I could use it for another event I have coming up. You obviously love that recipe so it must be good!
Driving--What?? Your little one is already a fluent reader in kindergarten?! That is absolutely amazing. And you think the baby is slow to crawl and he just turned 7 months?? Ummm, I think you guys make very advanced children !! And yes, you've got nothing to lose and you are both on board with the idea so go for number 3!
Joy, sorry about your wacky cycle and unfortunately I don't understand too much about temping/charting, but you obviously do so you would know if it's being wacky or not! Did you ever end up getting the OPK's that sis was talking about from target, I believe?
AFM--I'm in my insane month of September
This is the craziest month with birthdays and anniversaries. Just with my oldest stepson's family alone, it is his birthday, his wife's birthday, their baby's birthday, and their anniversary, all within the span of a week! And that's just part of the crazy. It's also my daughter, husband and mother-in-law's birthday as well. Clearly, our family likes to get "busy" in December! So, I'm a total fruitcake this month.
We are heading off to Michigan for a week and I will be very happy to get out of the Tennessee heat and humidity and enjoy the beautiful weather up in Michigan. It's one of my favorite months to go and visit there because the bugs are all gone for the most part, and the weather is nice and in the 70s and 80s during the day. Anyway, that's all from me. Hope everyone has a wonderful Labor Day weekend here in the states!
HA!!HA!! I had to drop him too.
but on the positive I'm up to 11 follicles. They want to mature those extra ones a little more, so I have another monitoring appointment on Wednesday, with my egg retrieval most likely on Friday. Terri - did you take that day off? How did you feel afterwards?
