Just One More…

Well I’ve got nothing to do until the blood test (except pee on sticks, of course).  I’m just trying to patiently wait it out, but I’m not a really patient person, especially not when it comes to this.  But wait I shall!

Well after my slew of positives yesterday, my joy was crushed when the nurse at the RE’s told me it’s “too soon” for the tests to be accurate and I have to wait until April 16th for my test.  I knew she was just saying that because she HAS to, and she probably gets people asking for earlier betas all the time, but it still gave me just a bit of doubt.

Ok. Settle down, Sommer. Recap… held my pee as long as I possibly could. Mother Nature ruined it all and I had to GO, so I saved it in a cup. Nasty, I know. Unless you’ve ever really wanted to be pregnant, you just wouldn’t get it. Anyhow… (Read on …)

… or I might be pregnant. Hard to say right now. However, as most of you reading this already know, I am an insane pee-on-a-stickaholic and just can’t resist those darn devil wands. (Read on …)

Skip and I met up at the REs office at 12:30 PM today and headed in. We waited a few minutes in the waiting area and then Dr. B came to talk to us. He said we had two “really, really good” embryos that we’d be transferring in just a few moments. I immediately asked what stages they were, because last time, though they were Grade 1 (the best grade), they weren’t quite as far along development wise as we’d have hoped. (Read on …)

We’ve got 4 hours until the transfer and I am trying to tie up a few loose ends with work and get settled down and RELAX but it’s not happening!  My mom, who came to help with Calista while I am on bed rest is now sleeping on the couch because she’s sick, Calista is bugging me because she wants me attention, and I am trying to do too much at once. (Read on …)

That’s the way this emotional roller coaster goes.  I talked to Dr. B’s office today, and we’re still going to day five with the babies.  We now have four embryos (we had a late starter, apparently) and of course we won’t put back all four, so day five it will be so we can pick the best of the bunch.  C (the nurse) said two of them look “really good”.  I didn’t ask if that mean the other two looked bad or what, but two looking really good and a total of four feels like a good thing.

Late yesterday, I started having really bad heart burn. By bed time, it was nausea and I tried to sleep it off, but my legs were aching, and every time I moved to try to get comfortable, I felt like I was going to hurl. I played this game until 3 AM when I actually did hurl and went back to bed. But I still couldn’t get comfortable! (Read on …)
