3dp3dt

Still having cramps in my uterus/stomach area. Nothing too terrible but I can feel them. My newest symptom is sore boobs. OMG, I want to cry they hurt so bad. It's worse when I go to bed at night and don't have any support. I know this is a s/e of the PIO so I'm not getting my hopes up (yes, I am) but wanted to share.

Confession: I bought pregnancy tests this weekend for the first time in over 2 years. I plan to test some time this weekend.

I know, I know it's been no time since my transfer. I have been hanging around like a bum and letting DH take care of me all weekend and he has been great. Today I wanted to get out so we went to Cost.co and Walm.art. I think I over did it with being on my feet for so long. I have had some slight cramps and twinges in my stomach area. I looked it up on Dr. Google and it says it could be implantation cramping...which is OK with me;)

DH is absolutely adorable...he keeps talking about having a baby and how this little baby will be so loved etc. I hope that at least one of these embies sticks.

I'm having to lie to others though about not working out this week (they said I wasn't allowed). I feel bad but know that's what I have to do in order to keep it a secret. We only have 2 people IRL that know about our FET. We don't want people to know in case it doesn't work or something happens before 12 weeks.

Embies on Board

Transfer went well.
We transferred three B+ embryos, 6 cell, 7 cell, and an 8 cell.
I went to acupuncture right before and right after and it helped so much to relax me. I am a little sleepy now from the Valium so I'm going to eat some lunch and take a nap.

Thanks for all the well wishes.
Beta is 3/16.

Our beautiful babies (DH calls them Hewey, Dewey, & Lewey)



Getting ready


After the transfer

Update on Embies

OMG, OMG, OMG!!!

Email from embryologist:
Hi Meghan,

I am Dr. W, the lab director for embryology. I left you a message on the machine a couple minutes ago. I just want to let you know that we thawed all 4 embryos yesterday and all of them survived and look good today. We’ll schedule the transfer tomorrow. You do not have to call me back unless you have more questions for me. We will see you tomorrow.

Lining Looks Great

Lining is at 9.
FET is a go on Friday at 2pm.
I have acupuncture scheduled for noon.
Start PIO tonight (very nervous).
Will find out the status of embies tomorrow afternoon.

::EEEEK::

ETA: Nurse emailed and said embryologist won't know the status of embies tomorrow so he'll email me Thursday. I don't want to wait:)

How am I supposed to relax?

I know the best thing to make this FET work is to relax (mainly the day of the transfer) but all I can do is think about it and the possibility of it not working. I know the patches are doing their job because the CM has been ridiculous (sorry if TMI).

Lining check Tuesday.
Have an appointment for pre/post acupuncture on Friday.
Starting POM & bromelin tomorrow to help with implantation (don't care if it is a wive's tale).

Last alcoholic drink tonight (margarita at dinner)

:::NERVOUS::::

Sign??

A few posts ago I talked about feeling bad about possibly not being able to go to Vegas if I'm pregnant. Today, one of the girls called me and said that nobody could go that weekend because it's the golf fundraiser for our husbands' football team (they all coach high school FB) and we all have to work the tourney (wives included).

Hmm, maybe it's a sign that this might work?

In other hopefully news a girl on the IF board who froze her embies the same stage we did and transferred 3 just got a + HPT.

I upped my patches to two last night and am so excited for my lining check on Tuesday (besides the dildo cam)...I can't believe in a little more than a week I could be having my FET.
