I am so excited!! We have SIX fertilized eggs!! We'll get the embryo report in the morning and discuss with our Dr. if we'll do a day 3 or a day 5 transfer.
I'm hoping we'll have four tomorrow, at least two of primo quality.
This is starting to become very real. We have six beings attempting to grow. Wow! I know that the numbers will get smaller each day, but I'm excited to see our starting out so strongly!
On Wednesday, I purchased items as a "just in case" plan. As in, "just in case I DO have embryos transferred and they implant" plan. I bought bleu cheese, brie, had lox on a bagel, and will go out for sushi tonight (courtesy a 20% off 40th birthday coupon to one of our favorite places). I can't drink red wine anymore, or I'd splurge on a nice one of that. I suppose I should have some salami, too. Anything else?
I could be pregnant soon. Wild! We'll have to have some serious discussion about one vs. two embryos if that's even a possibility. I'd been leaning towards one until I was so scared on Day 5 with the poor results. If two transferred give us a 15% higher chance to have a child, I think I want to take that. I think that ultimately I'd rather have two and the issues with twins than not have one. With two transferred, there is a 50% chance of twins if a pregnancy results. We'll also have to take into account my history with the last pregnancy. My Dr. may decide that it's not worth the risk to transfer more than one at a time. I had issues with asthma and gestational diabetes, plus issues at the very end with unexplained bleeding and pre-eclampsia, but that was also at 41 weeks.
Ultimately, the decision will be under the best advisement of our doctor. Holy cow! After three and a half years, our next child may be growing a few miles away! I told the Hubs we have six fertilized, and he said, "Excelsior!". I do hope he wasn't trying a new name on me.
