Infertility and Me

We are 3 days post transfer.  Every day that goes by is another day closer to some hopefully, great news.  We got a small, early gift today!!  Jess called the embryologist this morning to get an update on our 8 little embabies still at the lab.  Unfortunately, 5 didn’t make it.  But 3 were of good enough quality to freeze!!  They all made it to the blastocyst formation.  One of them was graded an A.  The other two were B’s.  We got snowbabies!!  3 little angels in waiting!  This is great news!!  We only had a small chance to even fertilize with my sperm, and an even smaller chance to have any extra.  God forbid something goes wrong with the current implantation, we now have something to fall back on.  We have beaten all the odds, and I am so relieved, and happy.  It lifts a huge weight off our shoulders, and it’s one less thing to think about!!  I don’t know too much about the grading process, but here is a good site that gives some info: Embryo Grading

Not much news on the implantation front.  Jess continues to get new and weird symptoms each day.  I’m chalking them up to early pregnancy symptoms, but who knows.  There are so many things that could, or may not happen during the implantation process.  There is no clear indication either way, and the only way to tell is to wait for the blood test.  We both get nervous with every new symptom that arrives.  For example, Jess is getting some cramping a lot lower than she has ever had it before, as well as some clear discharge that started today.   Dr. Google can’t pin this one down!   It could possibly be the beginning of the formation of the mucus plug, or it could be the reaction to her progesterone shots, or a million other things!!!!  I’m going try and not look up every symptom from now on as it might drive me crazy!!

I had to go back on antiobiotics today.  I am having the same post surgery incontinence symptoms I had after the last surgery.  Nothing too major or embarrasing, just annoying.  Last time, the cipro did the trick!! As for the surgery, I’m almost back to normal.  I’m feeling much better everyday.

Keep the good thoughts and prayers up!!  It has all worked so far!!!!!
