and we have a FET plan.

Great! I'm so excited finally the nurse from the clinic rang this morning with dates for my FET cycle. So I will be on the pill until the beginning of June and will start injections (don't remember the name) on the 28 May for 3 weeks the I will have 3 ultrasound in the middle of June and if everything looks good I will have the transfer on the 26 June!!!

Now finger crossed everything will go well. I am happy because there is definitely less medications, less pressure, less work for my poor ovaries. I just have to hope my body is ready for my little embryos and that they will thaw ok and grow.

After ER I had 13 embryos frozen on day 1. So the nurse told me they will thaw all of them and grow them hopefully to day 5. Then they will choose the best 2 and tranfer them. I can't wait to have them back.

What are your thoughts on 2 slash 1 embryo transfer? At my clinic they like to tranfer 2 at a time because they say there is more probability of success. I wasn't sure and I wanted to talk to the embryologist about tranferring only 1 considering that it is my first transfer and apparently I don't have any fertility issue (just bad luck) but after reading about it and talking to DW I decided to go for 2 embryos tranfer. 

If we have twins it means it was meant to be. If we get pregnant with one we will be as happy. I have to say twins kind of scare me, we are living abroad, our family are far and so we don't get much support but I guess we will have to manage! I always wanted a big family anyway ; )

Well all this "if" I get pregnant...

Positive thinking. Positive thinking. Positive Thinking. 

I should start meditation.

  1. We had a discussion with our specialist today about the number to transfer. She said they normally only transfer one (which is all we were planning on) but she did say sometimes she recommends two if the quality of the embryos is less than ideal, if the chances of it sticking are low or if the chances of any extras surviving a freeze / thaw is poor. So we are just going to wait and see what the embryos look like first (if we get any!) and then decide :). I agree the idea of twins can be scary but you could still end up with twins even if you only put one back and it split :). Anyway - great to hear you finally have the plan for your transfer next month! Very exciting! Good luck :)

  3. Definately hope you get a BFP :). AF is due mid next week for me so the drugs will start not long after that. All going well, pick up and transfer will be around the middle of June :).
