until proven otherwise...

i guess I can say i'm pregnant till then? or do we say "i'm with embryo" vs "i'm with child?" (not that that's an expression i'd use anyways! ha!ha!)

The transfer was this morning. I'm SICK.... and it's 100% worse in the car (actually - i think it is basically ONLY in the car that i'm sick) and that really sucks when your drive is...... 4 hrs. that's how long it took us to get to the clinic this morning. 3 to get home. so 7 hours when your car sick - NOT GOOD!!

We transfered 2. The dr. strongly advised us to transfer 2 - as we had 3 really good embryos.... but that's it. NOTHING TO FREEZE. At least they don't think so - they'll give them more time and get back to us.

Thalia - I saw your comment on triplets - i couldn't agree more... that's the absolute last thing i'd want... I wanted 3 embryos because i wanted to up our odds of having it work period - but i had no intentions of transfering 3 "great" embryos - i was thinking more along the lines of 2 good ones and an ok one and manage to freeze others - but turns out that was not in our cards.

The dr. said that at 26 they rarely transfer more than 2 - especially not good ones like i had. the most annoying part of today though was that she went over all this while i'm "ready" on the table - it all made sense - but she said "think about it you still have a few minutes" and the dr. doing the actual transfer was already using the speculum on me (which i HATE with a passion) it was NOT a pretty site.

Of course if it doesn't work i'm going to kick myself that we didnt transfer the 3.
If it works and we have twins i'm going to count my blessing that we didn't transfer 3.
If it works, and only one takes - then i wont care about the third embryo that didn't make it to transfer.

it's weird though - that 3rd embryo is "good" but will never be used because we wont freeze one embryo.

As we walked out of the hospital my dh said "goodness, I'm already hating this 2 week wait - and it's only just begun!" he's soooo optimistic - which is NOT the norm for him... I often get upset with him over being too negative (not about infertility - i just mean in life... he tends to think things wont work until he can see that they do - where as i'm the other way around... and in this journey - the roles have been reversed... although that might have to do with all the injections i'm taking and he's not! ha!HA!)

thanks everybody for the well wishes... and for delurking to some of you :) thanks!

Glad the transfer went well...sorry you got car sick. Transferring 2 was a great idea...the thought of triplets scares me. Wishing you the best with your 2WW. Rest as much as you gain and remember you're PUPO!

Great news - two great quality eggs transferred. Everything has been going good so far. I am the negative one in my relationship, I'll probably say the same thing your hubbie did.
Car sickness sucks.
I hope you are comfy and back at home. Get some rest!
