Change of Plans

I went to see the RE today and got all my questions answered.

How many embryos will we thaw?
this is something DH and I will need to decide but I think we'll thaw all 4, RE is willing to transfer 3 based on my quality history

How are they frozen? (groups of 2?)
2, 1, 1

We will refreeze any we don’t use?
Don't think this is applicable but we can

What is the thaw rate for the stage we froze (day 1)?
same as day 3 or 5

Once they thaw do we wait for them to grow or just transfer at that stage?
Wait 2 days (3DT)

Is the success rate for embryos frozen on day 1 better than day 3 or 5?
Same

How many days will I be on estrogen patches?
7-14 depending on lining

How many times do I need to come in for lining/b/w?
b/w probably only once and same for u/s

After the patches and my lining looks good, when will the FET take place?
the next week

Do you require bed rest after FET? If so, how long?
take it easy for first 24 hours (won't be a problem because it will take place on a Friday)

What is my percentage of getting pregnant?
About 30%, possible more if we transfer more than two

Now here's the kicker...I am starting my patches TONIGHT instead of waiting until next month!! I am CD2 and that will put my FET on 3/5 as long as my lining looks OK.

SO EXCITED!!

OMGosh! I am so excited for you!!

Question...so of the 4 embryos, they will transfer 3 of the best ones? What will happen to the 4th one? They can't "refreeze" can they?

Bella

So. Freaking. Excited!!!!!!

I doubt all of them will make the thaw so we're planning on that. If they all do, we have to decide but we'll probably re-freeze
