We had our second transfer on the 11th! This one was so easy, it was ridiculous. We had three frozen embryos left from our last retrieval and decided to just transfer one. Our thought process was to maximize the number of frozen transfers. One, the process is way less painless and shorter and two WAY less expensive. Plus, one embryo at a time will keep the multiple chances down. I'm not really sure if that's true or not, but that's what we're going with!
We had to do some rearranging of the schedule due to a 30th birthday celebration, more on that another time and due to our Dr's availability. I honestly couldn't figure out when test day was. I emailed my nurse for confirmation and sure enough we go in tomorrow. FRIGHTENING!
I have not started yet. If you remember I started on a Friday and test day was Sunday. I have been feeling very bloated and heavy. Mild cramping is kind of coming an going, but absolutely no spotting. Today, I was so hungry at lunch that I was nauseous. But if I'm being honest with myself , that happens all the time, hahah. I am literally hovering between being super excited and hopeful and preparing myself for the negative results. The last time we tested was on a Sunday. So the only open lab was in the hospital downtown. If you follow the blog, you remember that horrid story. If you don't follow, you can re-read the disaster here. Testing was done at 8:00 am (was supposed to be there by 7:30 am, whoops!) and we didn't get the results until 1:45 pm. So now I am wondering if we will have to do that dreaded 6 hour wait again, or if since it's during working hours, we will have results sooner???? Am I rambling...I feel like I am rambling...Have I mentioned I'm nervous?
Last night I spent the evening thinking of ways I was going to tell Vance if it was positive. Vance KNOWS test day is tomorrow, but given our current situation of moving into our new house, we have been pretty preoccupied and I wouldn't blame him if he had forgotten. Hell, up until two days ago, I ALMOST FORGOT! So I was thinking how cool would it be if he DID forget and I got positive results back and called me for a random lunch date and was able to tell me in person and surprise him!!!!!! And then I quickly yanked myself back down to reality. STOP PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE, STEPHANIE! If this process has taught me anything, you would think it was to NOT GET AHEAD OF MYSELF. And yet hear I am, getting ahead. So, I am putting all ideas of how this whole thing will play out until we have something to play out.
Please wish us luck and if prayer is something you do and believe in, please send them our way. I am taking any and every offer of positivity and love and support we can get. This round has been hard because we opted to tell no one. We each got one person to confide in, should we need to vent to someone other than each other, but it kind of feels like because of that, we don't have everyone rooting in our corner like last time.
I will do my best to report back tomorrow. Last time I couldn't bare to put the bad news in permanent blog world yet. I was still trying to process the disappointment myself. Again, I will do my best. Thanks again for listening and hoping and praying for us. If it's not tomorrow, it WILL be another day. I know it.
