ET - 5dt

A few days late but I'm trying to capture the moments...

My ET was on Tuesday, Dec 13th.  Anxiety ruled the morning since we hadn't had any updates on our 7 embies since Friday.  I was trying so hard to go with the rule, that no news is good news!  But had a hard time convincing my mind to shut down.

When the RE came in to discuss "the plan", he gave us the long-awaited update.  4 embies didn't make it to day 5.  :(  The 3 growing were: 2 blasts - rated as "great" and "good" and 1 morula (a day behind in development).  I didn't ask for more specifics because I was thrilled that we had made it this far.  My hopes and prayers had been for at least 1 blast to transfer and not only did we have 1 but TWO BLASTS!!!!!  He asked us how many we'd like to transfer.  We asked his thoughts.  He explained that while the morula is a day behind, he's seen morulas become healthy babies.  And he went on to say while there would be a slight chance (<5%) of triplets, he thought we would "cross that bridge" if we came to it.  He recommended to transfer all 3.  We wholeheartedly agreed and transferred the 3 little ones!

My beta is next Thursday, Dec 22nd.  Lots of time to dream, hope and pray!  Snuggle in tight embabies!

  1. Wow - 2 blasts, that sounds promising! I am like you, a low responder. Reading your blog made me wonder if I should be upping my stim doses - I have always only done 300 gonal-f and 150 menopur. Thanks for sharing and best of luck with that beta!
