We transferred 2 8 cell blasts and we have 4 left over that were not quite blasts yet. I will find out tomorrow how many will make it to be a frostie. I am really hoping that this cycle works well for us. I need to buy some pineapple.

I totally forgot to ask what grade the blasts were today. So I will ask the nurse tomorrow when I call to check on my other embryos.

My clinic wants me to be on bedrest until Thurs afternoon. I am taking tomorrow off and then on Wed, I thought I would go out w/ my assistant and perform some client re evals without lifting or touching the children but just doing the computer work w/ of course my pillow under my computer. What do yall think??? The studies do not show that it is necessary for bedrest but I want to comply w/ their rules to the best of my abilities.

I can always tell my assistant that Wed will be a no go and then resume light duty on Thurs.

Thanks to everyone for all of their support and hopeful posts that this cycle will work for my family.

Resting on sofa and being pampered by DH who is getting us take out!!!

eat your pineapple and let your dh pamper you. hopefully you will get good news about frosties also!! good luck in the tww. LMD

I did not rest at all after transfer and it worked for me. My clinic does not recommend bed rest. I think light work without lifting anything on Wednesday would be just fine and would have been perfectly fine according to my RE. But you should do what you feel comfortable with and that which will leave you without any regrets. So if it makes you feel better to work and keep busy then do it. But if you have doubts about it then stay home and rest.

Wishing you lots of luck!

and sit on the sofa and do re evals through my assistant and do the computer work. I only have 4 patients scheduled and then come home and rest some more.

Thanks for your thoughtful post,

I hope the embies stick and you will have wonderful holidays.

When is your beta? My old clinic allowed me to go back to work the day after transfer with no lifting. SG requires 24 hours of bedrest.

Did you transfer on day 3 or day 5? You say 8 cell blasts but 8 cell are 3 day embryos. Anyway, good luck. Can't wait to hear how high your betas are

I asked the doc if they were 8 cell blasts and he said yes. Maybe he only heard blasts. Man feeling ignorant. I was just so excited to have my picture of them alone and then in the uterus.

It is a far different story then when we transferred only one 5 cell on day 3 w/ my OE last yr which of course was a BFN.

Thanks,

It is so exciting to be following your progress. I am happy to hear that it went well yesterday, and I wish you a peaceful 2ww! Congratulations on getting this far!

I hope my outcome is positive and I can breath a bit. I look forward to you and the rest of my secondary buddies finding success.

Congrats on a wonderful cycle and transfer!!! Can't wait to see the update!

I am sooooo soooooooooo hoping that this cycle works and I can put to bed my 35 month journey of TTC our next child.

Hoping all is well w/ you and glad to see you posting again on the other board!!!

Is this normal??? I would like to think that I am an informed consumer of IF but it seems that I still have much to learn.

So we have 2 frosties to use if this cycle fails which of course I am hoping it does not but happy w/ a possible second chance.

Thanks again everyone!!!!

Congratulations, and how excited you must be. Please take it easy, and we'll look forward to reading your updates over the holidays.

I just completed my transfer yesterday. This is the 1st time DH and I have made it to D5, so we're feeling more upbeat than with any other previous cycles. However, my numbers are not as high as your (11 eggs retrieved, 9 mature, 6 fertilized, and 3 made it to Day 5 with 1 supposedly "textbook perfect" blast transferred yesterday) so I am praying for at least 1 frostie to give us a little more breathing room. I keep starring at the picture they gave us and wondering if this could be my babygirl (or boy). However, I'm trying to take everything in stride cause there are many days/weeks/months ahead to go...

p.s. How did you decide to transfer 2 (as opposed to 1) blast? DH and I definitely don't want multiples so only transfered one blast, especially after the embryologist said there was one textbook perfect blast and he recommended that we only transfer that one since he was "pretty confident" that we would get pregnant. Of course, this is our first DE cycle at SG, so we don't know if they say that a lot or not.

So it was a no brainer to transfer 2. The nurse said we have a 25% chance of both sticking and and 70% chance of a pregnancy. I am hoping for a positive HPT and I will take whatever implanted 1 or 2.

After 35 months of TTC this child, I just wanted to give myself a good chance. We have 2 frosties in case this cycle does not work out. However, we are broke after this cycle and would have to save for a few months to do the FET so I am hoping that we don't have to.

I am glad that you got a great looking embryo to transfer and I hope you get 1 or 2 frosties.

We are now in this together. I felt some light cramping last night so hoping that it was implantation cramping. When are you gonna start to POAS??? When is your beta?? My beta is on the 26th but I am hoping to push for the 23rd if I get an early BFP.

So nervous and hopeful for the both of us!!

futurebeauty

I don't feel anything at all. However, I've never had a BFP so I'm not sure what to look for.

I'm not feeling upbeat any longer and worry this will be another disappointing cycle for us.

Beta will be on the 27th. Perhaps it's best to just start thinking about our next cycle...

Sorry just reread my post and hope that I didn't bring you down... Please ignore my post -- I guess I'm just anxious. I wish you the best of luck and can't wait to see your updates!

I am worried also that this may not work out and I will have spent so much time, effort and money for nothing. I am so hoping that this will work out this time.

My back started to hurt tonight like AF is coming so I am very worried but I can not do anything except hope and pray for a BFP.

Hugs to you BS,
