We had our follow up with the RE this week after our first failed IVF with fresh transfer . You may remember my post asking if any of you ladies got really sick during the egg retrieval process and medications . Well , I got weighed and it turns out I lost 32 lbs in that 68 week process , so yeah , she ' s obviously concerned about that protocol for me , but we got good news . Two more embryos that we were unaware of made it to the blastocyst stage and were put in the freezer . We had 8 eggs fertilize , but on the day of the fresh transfer they told us we had 2 blastocysts , one of which was transferred and the other frozen . They also said they would keep an eye on the others , but we never heard anything , so I just assumed we only had the one left . I am so over the moon happy about this . I ' m not really any more optimistic that this will result in children for us , but assuming they all survive the thaw and assisted hatching at least I have a couple more shots at this before I even have to think about the next steps . That ' s a kind of peace of mind you can ' t buy . Of course my husband is overly optimistic and is predictinghoping that our 2 children are both in the freezer right now . Only time will tell , but for now we ' re moving forward with a FET that will likely happen sometime in January or February depending on when my December cycle starts and how I manage on the medications . Happy Thanksgiving to all my other American friends . I hope you all have a little something to be thankful for too .
