Transfer TOMORROW?!?!?! How did it get here so fast??? Will update afterwards.

CurlySu717, I'm so sorry. I know we've been talking about all this, but just ugh.

QOTW: we've lean red how the other deals with stress and disappointment and sadness and failure. And we have (and are still) learning how best to support the other in these types of difficult times.

[meepmeeps]

CurlySu717 , when you start your post, look for the button with the little red triangle with a ! in it, and it will make a little box for your spoiler. I can totally tell you're not bitter. When people are Chicken Shits, they just are, and it's not a matter of bitterness. I hope time flies for you, and sorry again about the cancellation.
longhornwino0907 , so exciting!!! Yay! Everything crossed. Keep us updated

SPOILER: Click to show

My repeat beta was 230.1
It was 76.9 at 10dp5dt and now 230.1 at 13dp5dt. So, that's not super high or anything, from what I've read, but they were very happy with the increase. Repeat is next Monday. I'm living in the huge temporary relief zone now, but I'm sure I'll worry and over analyze everything in the next 24 hrs. I think my little embie was slow to settle in.

[mugee]

Thanks for the check-in, CurlySu717. I'm out. I wish all of you only the best. At this point in time, I think my TTC journey is over. Will refocus now on my health.

[meepmeeps]

Oh no! mugee , I'm so so sorry! So many hugs to you. Let us know how you are feeling soon,  if u feel up to it

[kaliRN]

I'm PUPO! We transferred 2 grade 1 blasts today in Zlin, CZ! We may be able to freeze 1 or 2 tomorrow. I laid flat for my requisite 1 hour and now am on bedrest for the rest of the 24 hour period. longhornwino0907 is in transfer now and I'm so excited to be bedrest buddies with her!

[longhornwino0907]

I'm PUPO, too! With two beautiful little embabies! Kali and I are hanging out on princess rest for the rest of the day. to all of you!

[CurlySu717]

mugee , lots and lots of hugs!!  I'm so sorry.

Hugs mugee

[meepmeeps]

longhornwino0907 and kaliRN , yay girls!! Hope those embies are getting good and snuggled in! Good luck and have safe travels

[eroticantibiotic]

mugee, I'm so very sorry. There ought to be a magic combination of words to say in order to take away your pain. It is just f*ing unfair. I hope you and your husband are able to get through this and find joy. Or a winning lottery ticket.

[eroticantibiotic]

kaliRN, longhornwino0907, Princess day in the Czech Republic sounds very exotic and lovely. Rest up! You will miss resting up.

CurlySu717, boo for being an overachiever! Slack off a little next month, maybe just produce 2 follies.

meepmeeps, that number sounds HUGE to me! Congrats!!

[meepmeeps]

HeyMrsPotter, wow, isn't everything in IF so complicated?! That shouldn't be a surprise to me. Sorry it's taking so long but maybe they will have it wrapped up soon.

[therealbug]

CurlySu717, thank you for the check-in!

longhornwino0907, and kaliRN, yay for PUPO! Everything crossed for both of you!

bootsorhearts, Hey lady!

HeyMrsPotter, ugh. I'm sorry this is dragging out. FX they get the agreement finalized so you can get your treatment plan down.

AFM, the IVF nurse emailed us the link to look at donor embryos. There are 9 different profiles and she suggested we pick our top 6-8
Mr. Bug and I did a quick glance through and saw thee that we really like. Big reason she wants us to pick so many is in case there are some that have restrictions to the donation that would bump us (like preferring a certain religion). We will go through it more in depth again in a couple days. We still are working on the logistics of our taxes and will hopefully have a better idea by the end of the month if we can actually reserve any embryos.
