Transfer completed

Although we were really hoping for a 5 day transfer, Embro and the other docs thought it would be better to do the transfer today - Mother's Day (and one doc said that HAD to be significant for us) :)

Our toughest challenge was deciding how many of our five viable embryos to transfer. All of them were average, with some being on the better side of average than the other. Embro had advised us that if we do a 3-day transfer, transferring 3 would give us better chances of success because there is a good chance that one of the little guys won't make it due to their stage of development. However, transferring 3 does give us a small chance of having triplets.

On the other side, transferring two would give us pretty good chances of becoming pregnant, but not as good as transferring 3 - although our chances of multiples would go down, our chances of the cycle not working would go up.

I had thought, until we were at the office, that 3 was definitely the way to go. But then, when you're actually faced with the decision you wonder, what if, what if? When it came down to it, we decided that we both felt the most comfortable transferring 3.

So.... Surfer suited up in some snazzy scrubs, he took my hand and we went in the same OR as a few days ago. We were introduced to three of the most gorgeous little embroys you've ever seen and in about 10 minutes total, they were nestled into their new home.

Now, time will tell - and we know that whatever the Lord chooses to do with this cycle He will provide for. I can't believe we've come this far; it seems like a strange dream. I hope and pray that the dream will continue into my dream come true of motherhood.

I will post the pictures of our embies tomorrow when I figure out how to use my scanner and when I'm not so sore from those darn hip shots!

Lord, thank you - and may your perfect will be done.
