ET today

So I got up at 3am got dressed, straightened my hair and looked outside. It was an f'n blizzard!!! Got dh up and said we've gotta go now!!! So we left at 4:10am in my car (honda accord) we couldn't even make it out of our road so we had to turn around and go back to get dh's jeep. I can't believe how shitty my car is in the snow...

The drive up was absolutely horrendous. It took us 4.5 hours to get up there. I missed my first acu appt which i was very upset about but we got to CNY right at 9am. I took my Valium and almost instantly i felt like my body had left the building. I hated it. Dh said it's because of my empty stomach. He said he saw a few granola bars in the lobby do you want one and i said YES!! he then comes back empty handed..it was for a food drive lol...

We got called back at like 9:50 (could have done acu arghhh) and Dr K came in with such excitement!!He told me we got a gold star as our embies (all 6) were excellent. He asked us how many we'd like to transfer and i asked him what he suggested. he said 2 or 3 based on my age and number of years trying. He told us the chance of triplets were 10-20%, twins 20-30% and with putting back 3 embies we'd have a 50% chance of becoming pregnant. It was a no brainer at that point. 3 it was... Transfer was a peice of cake..Dr K blessed my stomach lol and i layed there with tears in my eyes for like 10 mins. Dh kept looking at the photo of all 8 embryo's..he couldn't believe it. He had tears in his eyes. Good news is we also have 3 to freeze!!!! This was great news after such a horrible ride. Nurse came back in with a pic of the three we transferred. They looked beautiful. I am already in love.

Afterwards dh didn't get to do his massage because we ran too late...i got in for acu at like 10:30. I feel asleep like 4x's during it hahaha...the valium worked great.

So am i technically pregnant at this point? lol...i am going to say i am (only to me and dh of course) until i'm proven otherwise.

Home finally now at 4:15pm and now i'm going to rest up. Snuggle in little ones. Please please please be our miracle. We love you!!

Transfer tomorrow

And i am sooooo excited. I can't wait to put some back in my ute and i'm looking forward to the less than 2ww!! With a 5 day transfer you don't have to wait as long. I'm feeling really good about all of this right now. I hope when i get to CNY tomorrow my embies are still thriving. I will be devastated if they are not. I didn't get a call today so i'm hoping that's a good sign.

We have to leave here at 4:15am and of course there is going to be crap weather. I'm looking fwd to spending some time with dh though. We have some very good quality chats on our long drives. It's always fun. He will most likely be yawning the whole way but i will remind him of his massage that he will be getting at 9:30am. I'm cutting it close to the transfer so i'm hoping Dr K is running on time. I'll let them know when i get there.

I'm excited and nervous. I have cleaned, paid bills, balanced ckbook and now settling in to watch the biggest loser. DH is still working that poor thing but thankfully it'll make up for the days he took off as he no more days left for this year. He promised this summer we'll take a short vacation somewhere so i'll be looking fwd to that. This year he went to FL and to Myrtle beach without me. FL to visit his parents and Myrtle for a boring golf tournament. Nice huh! he promised me he won't leave me alone when i'm prego so the golf tournament is off for next year lol.

Ok so now i'm blabbing...bed early tonight. Please pray my embies are still doing great and i still have my 6 great ones. Good night embies..i am in love with you already...

Thanks so much everyone!~~

Embryo update!!

I decided to call CNY today to see how my embies are doing. At first i hesitated because i know they would have called me if something was wrong but then i thought, hey they are mine!!

The embryologist didn't call me back for like 3 hrs. I was dying..i'm thinking she's not calling me cuz it's bad news...ugh.

Then the call came and she sounded really upbeat which made me know right away that they were doing good. She told me that the 8 were still cleaving and that as of now i have 6 great lookin embies between 6-8 cells. One of the other 2 has some fragmentation and the other one is a 4 cell. She said she's a pretty tough grader and she thinks 6 great ones. So this made me extremely happy.

Wed can't come quick enough~~~~

2 days after ER

And i am soooooooo f'n bloated!! I look like i'm 4 mos pregnant for heavens sake. Plus i'm peeing like every 2 hours. I usually pee like 3 times a day. And i am nauseous & tired. The nausea is probably from the Doxy.

I haven't heard from the RE's office about how my embies are doing...they are usually closed on a sunday so i didn't expect a call today. I'm going to call them tomorrow to see how things are going. I am one of those people that need to know. I can't wait until Wed. Plus i'd hate to drive all the way up to syracuse for nothing. Just knowing they are still doing well will make me feel much better.

Well i'm going to go lay down..feeling so gross.

Fertility report!!

So out of the 9 eggs 8 fertilized!!!!! Yippppeeeee!!!! Plus they told me i'm doing a 5dt as well. I can't believe it. I am just in shock right now.

Thank god i'm home...can't wait for dh to get back with Toby our little love. I have missed him terribly and can't wait for him to come in running like mad down the hall and jump on me and hug and kiss me like mad.

So now we wait..

ER results

We got up to Syracuse at around 11:30pm last night. We had good intentions of stopping at a nice restaurant on the way up but everytime you had to get off I90 you had to pay a damn toll and plus there weren't any that suited us so we ended up stopping at a rest service and I had a toasted bagel w/butter and dh had Burger King. Not exactly my perfect last meal before not being able to eat until noon the next day lol..

We are staying at the Quality Inn and it is really clean and comfortable. I was extremely happy about that.

Got up at 6am. COuldn't sleep. We left around 8:15 and got the CNY at 8:30. The appt wasn't until 9am. But i just wanted to get in there. Filled out the paperwork and waited. I got called in at 9:05. The nerves started to set in. Got undressed, smocked up and iv in. Dh came into the room. The nurse came in to discuss what was going to happend. Then we got the blow....Dr Kiltz was not doing our retrieval like i was told 2x he was. He was doing transfers today. We were getting Dr Massey. Never heard of him and apparently he is new to the practice. I wanted to cry. BUT i decided to trust him and not worry about it. He came in and said he was hoping to get 1/2 a dozen eggs from me. He seemed nice and i trust Dr Kiltz enough to know that this guy knew what he was doing...

Dh didn't want to be in the room with me. So he left I got my drugs and next thing i remember i woke up really groggy but feeling ok. The Dr came in a bit later and told me they got

9 EGGS!!!!!!

Dh came in and he told him and the Dr seemed really happy about that number.

Cuteness alert - dh told me that he had to go out to the parking lot and dry heave as he was so upset seeing me like that today. He said he didn't take it well. Poor thing. He looked much better when he came in afterwards.

So tomorrow is the fert report. Tonight we are going to a hibachi restaurant as I deserve it and i feel great other than the cramps in my stomach but I do honestly feel great. Peeing is kind of sore and when my stomach gets gassy it hurts lol.

So please pray for a good fert report tomorrow. Thank you ladies for wishing me good luck. That was really sweet of you all!!!

PS and the best part of this whole thing? No PIO shots!! Yeah! I was dreading doing more needles. Doing Prometrium 3x a day. I could care less about the mess. I just wear panty liners. Better vs the needle anyday!!!

ER is scheduled for Dec 4th!!

4 is my lucky number so i'm pretty excited about this. I booked our hotel tonight so we are all set.

First, my follie scan. All was looking good except when she checked my lining..it measured at 6.12. I asked her what it was supposed to be because she moved on to measure the follies. She said a 7. So of course more concern. She counted about 6-7 good size follicles and a bunch of others that may or may not catch up. She asked me to get dressed while she went & talked to Justine. I swear it felt like i was in that room waiting for her to come back in....i waited for like 15 mins. I figured it was going to be cancelled. Justine actually came in with the nurse and advised that my lining is fine. She looked at it and it's how the nurse measured it. Plus she said it'll grow in the next few days. She is happy with how things are going even though i am an office mystery as far as my numbers go. Here are todays:

E2 2093
LH 5.75 (way down from before!)
P4 6.4

Justine says the magic words. Trigger tonight at 9:30pm on the dot!! ER on friday at 9:30am with Dr kiltz which is what i was hoping for.

Only thing is if i get a 3dt i won't be able to get my acupuncture as the spa is closed on sundays...booooooooo.. this was of course the most important part of this whole acupuncture experience. It's important to have this done before and after the ET. So if that happens i'll be kind of bummed.

We will be leaving tomorrow night right after work as it's a 3.5 hour drive. I have to leave my little darling of a dog with my IL's which is so upsetting. I hate leaving him & he hates it when we leave him. I hope he'll be ok. I am bringing my puter with me so i can post friday night with the results.


Wish me luck!!! I'm kind of scared...but i'm excited as well!!!
