We got 8 embryos!!!!


I started this blog saying how I am feeling bloated and tired and constipated. Then I got a call from my clinic... out of the 9 they injected 8 took and are growing!!!! I am so over the moon with that!!! She also said that we are on course for a 5 day transfer!!! I am on cloud 9, the pain and constipation is gone.. all I have is a BIG FAT smile on my face!!! We got 8... we got 8!!! Keep growing embryos and keep strong...!!!! The transfer is set for Thursday the21st. We don't have a time yet but we should know more tomorrow!!!


Now DH and I are debating how many to put in. God and universe willing, we will have 3 blasts to chose from on Thursday. DH wants to put in 3 great looking blasts, I am thinking of putting back 2 great blasts and 1 not so good blast. I know last time we put in 2 day 3 embryos and they did not take and that my diminished ovarian reserve is just going to get worse and that the percentage of getting triplets is 5% or something like that, so I should not panic! We will discuss things with Dr. S. and see what she suggests we do. She has been right so far and I trust her judgement 100%, so if she says that 3 is the "magic number" 3 it will be!!


I am off to get some Gatorade as I am bloated and constipated! I don't think it's OHSS as it feels more like constipation but ER was tough this time around and the effects of that plus all the suppositories I took on the actual ER day and now the progesterone might be having an impact on my body.. So better be safe than sorry!! I want to be super ready for Thursday!!!
