Well it is 2 days since the embryo transfer. Everything went well. The 3 embryo's survived the thaw. However, the freeze/thaw was very hard on them. The 2 that were grade A's before the freeze, dropped to grade B's after thawing. One of the embryo's had lost some cell's as well, so I don't know what to think. At least they were still all alive!! I was so positive the day of the transfer. I am starting to feel a little more negative as time goes on. I just think if we would have transferred them when they were fresh we would have had a much better chance. Anyway I am now in the dreaded TWW (two week wait) until I will have my blood drawn and we will know! Until then I will be driving myself crazy wondering if it did or didn't work. The transfer itself went great. My RE was amazing and the whole thing only took like 10 minutes. They rolled a incubator into the room with the embryo's in it. Coy got to go over and look at them through the microscope. He asked me later if they were suppose to be moving around, I though that was funny! It was so neat to get pictures of them! Well I will post more when I know more. Once again, a big Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers. Coy and I both appreciate it!!

My Ultrasound on 9/21 went well, my lining was at 9.3, anything over 9 is acceptable. I am still going to be on estradiol, so it should be thickening more until Tuesday. Friday I went and got that dreaded stitch put into my cervix again, last time I was under anesthesia, this time I had nothing! The numbing part hurt, but after it was numb I didn't feel a thing, I think she put like 4 stitches in there!! She decided if she was going to do it, she was going to do it right. She said she wanted to put enough in to get a good lift on my cervix? Who knows? But she was very nice, I liked her a lot!! So it is Sunday night, only 2 more days to go and we find out if the embies survived or not. The freezing/thawing of them is rough, I am just praying we have one that makes it. The RE that did the stitch said she thinks we have a good chance, so I am holding on to that for now! I have acupuncture tomorrow for the last time, I am going to try to use that to relax me some tomorrow. I have a feeling I will not be getting much sleep on Monday night. We have to call the mailbox on Tuesday morning to see if any of the embies made it! So we will be praying like crazy until then!! Thanks to everyone for thoughts and prayers, we so need them right now!!

Well, Tommorrow is my second and last ultrasound for this FET. They will check to see if the lining is thick enough and will also re-check my estrogen level. If everything looks good tommorrow, I will start progesterone and will have the transfer 5 days later. Starting to get excited, but still worried about our frozen embies and how they will make the thaw!! Please send up a bunch of prayers that our embies will make it!! I will post more tomorrow when I know how the lining looks and what my estrogen level is. Thanks to everyone for your support during this very long journey we have been on!!!

Ultrasound and blood work went well yesterday, I had no cysts and my estrogen level was 23. So I started my estrogen injections tonight. Coy gave me the shot in my hip, not too bad, he does it fast, he is too good!! So we have started this whole circus again. I will take another injection on Sat. 9/12, then again on 9/15 and 9/19 and then I will go in for an ultrasound and bloodwork on 9/21. If lining and estrogen are good I will start progesterone on 9/25 and the transfer will hopefully be on 9/29!

I talked to the NP yesterday about my embryo's. She said they will thaw all 3 embryo's and that what you want to see happen once they thaw is that they re-expand. Apparently they take all of the water out of them to freeze them and put them in an a cyroprotectant solution. Once they thaw them, they wash the cryoprotectant off and then they want to see the embryo take up fluid and re-expand. If they don't re-expand then they will not be viable or live. I am putting my faith in God, that he will hear our prayers and make our dream of becoming parent's come true!

So please pray for our embryo's to expand!!

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers!!!

Finally 1st injection day is here!! I have started Lupron! Now the countdown is on until suppression check, which will be September 9th!! Very glad to be getting started again! I don't know if it is because I am used to needles or what, but I didn't even feel the injection today. Funny, I am thinking I must have been a baby the first time around, because now everything seems so easy. Funny how a new perspective will do that to you!!

So, I am in the waiting stage of the game, I am taking BCP's currently. I start Lupron this Friday 8/28/2009! Finally I am back to doing somthing! Funny, I never thought I would be happy about injecting myself with something, but when you are in the fertility game you wish for a lot of weird things. Those of you ttc will understand exactly where I am coming from!

I am on a support group board for those of us who are doing IVF, and two of the girls on the board that did FET's have gotten pregnant, so I hope the same will hold true for me. So happy for those girls, we have all been through so much.

Please keep praying for Coy and I that this FET works for us!!

Thanks!!!

Finally AF is here!! I will start BCP's on Friday 8/14/2009 and Lupron will begin 8/28/2009, Supression Check will be on 9/8/2009. Estrace injections will begin 9/10/2009. U/S and estradiol check will be on 9/21 and then the transfer will be sometime the week of 9/28/2009. Finally we are getting started again!!
