Egg retrieval June 28th. 16 eggs. Fert report: 10 were mature, 7 fertilized. Day 3: one dropped off - 4 8 cell excellent, 1 7 cell great, 1 6 cell okay. Day 5 transfer: only 2 left: an 8 cell and a 10 cell. RE said a good cycle for me (depressing-ish). We got twin-nervous and did the cautious thing and only put back the 10 cell. It was so depressing. I was crying when I told the RE our decision. To do all this and only have a 30% chance instead of 50-50. Especially with my background it feels ridiculous to be conservative about how many we put back. I feel like if this doesn't work, we'll do a frozen cycle for our 1 frozen. If that doesn't work, I'll never transfer just one again. I don't feel as upset now. But I feel like the odds are way against us this time. I don't feel any different physically... not that that means anything.
On the way to transfer I heard this Indigo Girls song i used to be into in high school and the chorus was "multiply life by the power of 2" and I thought it was maybe a sign to put 2 back. But we didn't. Hopefully the one we put in is still thriving.
J - I've been quietly following and I just want to let you know I have you in my thoughts and I'm praying for the lil guy or lil girl. Sending hugs, good thoughts, positive vibes, and anything else that might help even a teeny tiny little bit.
