Random Bullets at 1dp5dt

  • Got the call this morning that the other two blasts didn't make it to freeze. I'm disappointed but this wasn't completely unexpected. Dr. G told me most of the time 50% of embryos arrest day 3-5. I had 8 in good shape at day 3, so yesterday's 6 blasts was better than normal. At minimum, I wanted 2 to transfer and 2 to freeze, and that's what I got in the end. Her last cycle (the only other one where they didn't do a day 3 transfer) resulted in 1 tranferred and 4 frozen blasts (out of 14 fertilized eggs).
  • I took a nap for the first time in my adult life yesterday. And went to bed at 9:30. Slept for 8 hours. Got up and ate. Took 1/4 dose valium and slept for another 1.5-2 hours.
  • My mother's had LG out of the house most of the day, so even though I'm not technically on bed rest, I'm resting in bed. Trying to figure out how exactly I'll read another 200 pages in a prometrium/valium haze.
  • I'm still weepy and sort of wishing I had enough valium to drug myself through March 23. If I'm way crazy, I might ask. Not sure when the compulsive pregnancy testing will begin. Thankfully, it's back to work on Monday.
  • LG's reading homework was to read a recipe and cook something good. She made her mama some more gluten free brownies.
  • Speaking of which: must feed the embryos.

  2. Two to transfer and two to freeze sounds amazing to me - and oh, all that sleep sounds glorious! And eating yummy food is just what the doctor ordered! Stay warm and cozy and fed and well-rested...Stick, embies, stick!

  4. I'm sorry I've been MIA on the commenting, but have been following along your journey to transfer and am really so happy about where you are right now and so excited for you. This is a really great place, Gwinne, and I am hoping for nothing but the best outcome for you.

    Now go eat a brownie. And some of that coconut milk ice cream.
