My mind keeps going back to the, "Keep Calm and Wait Two Weeks" poster that I've seen on various blogs. I can see why it was ever created, especially for those who have suffered infertility at one point in time.
A lot has happened since I last posted, so I should probably go back to the Thursday of June 27th. . . . our 'retrieval date'. Under some much appreciated anesthesia (confession . . . I love it!), they were able to retrieve 13 eggs - which is amazing! 12 were mature, fertilized, and all continued to grow.
On 'transfer day', Day 5 - July 2nd, we had two blastocysts ready for transfer and several on their way to becoming blastocysts. In the end, we were able to freeze 6 embryos, which we count ourselves very lucky and with a lot less stress; should the time come that we are not pregnant. Have I mentioned that, 'The Day That May Forever Change Our Lives' is on Thursday?! I am going to keep my week FULL, so that I don't have much time to think about it. Can you blame me, though?!
Depending on the outcome, I will post in greater detail about our 'transfer day' - for several reasons (all good of course!). Exciting stuff!
Again! Thank you for all of the texts, phone calls, and methods of keeping me positive and entertained. I'm restless by nature, therefore, bed rest is not my idea of fun. The gratitude I have is beyond words.
