Ever since I started blogging, I love it. I love the outlet and I love the record. Lately though I have been super hesitant to post anything. I have no idea why. Am I being lazy, is it not giving me what it once was? Honestly I think things are going well and the more I talk about it the faster it will slip through my fingers. If I shout from the roof-tops, whatever good luck it is that we seem to be getting lately will disappear as fast as it came.
Well, here is my update. Of the 8 that fertilized, 7 of them made it to blast. 4 made it on day 5 and 3 more on day 6!! We were unbelievably shocked. That many making it to blast was so unexpected. Then we were told to wait about 3 weeks for our genetics report. I was out on the little boat at Lake Powell with my little brother and my 2 cousins. We went out into the only place on the lake that we had cell service. I checked my messages and never expected to hear one from my Doctor. Then the news: 4 genetically normal embryos!!!!!!!!! I screamed so loud while listening to the message that my throat hurt for days! Needless to say that us keeping this cycle to ourselves ended at that moment. I screamed and then jumped into the lake. We then went back to the houseboat and I ran to Mr. S crying with the news. It was such a wonderful moment. That was so much better than we had even dared hope for. 4 normal babies waiting on ice to come into our lives.
We then needed to decide about when to transfer. I could get on birth control for an August transfer, but I think we both just felt like we needed a bit of a break. I really wanted to get this show on the road ASAP, but we need to spend some time med free enjoying the summer as well. So it looks like we are on track for a September transfer. I am still so scared that my body is part of the problem and will somehow kill our healthy embryos. I guess there is only one way to find out!
