Next Steps

I saw my specialist today - to work out the next phase. He asked me if I wanted to start preparing for a transfer now - which took me by surprise. I am still super tired, and he must have seen I was not quite ready for it. I said I thought I would wait till I got my next period - and he was happy with that. Actually he was very happy for me to wait, and give my body some more time to calm down. I have already got AF since the Egg Collection, so I know it won't be a ridiculously long wait.

Now for the FET (frozen embryo transfer). He wants me on hormones, as my periods are so erratic. The minute he mentioned more medication I was reluctant. He reassured me that is was just an estrogen pill, and some progesterone suppositories (to thicken my lining). At about day 10 I will go in for a scan to see what is happening, and to prepare for the transfer timing. I am pretty nervous about this next step - which shows me I am really not ready yet - even for a FET. Hopefully I will be emotionally ready soon (and maybe I should get another counselling session.. something to think about). He did mention how much easier an IUI was - and I said I didn't think I could go another IVF  again. He said he doubts I would have to, as he is pretty positive with these embryos we will get a result :)

So the results are..
2 A grade embabies
2 B grade embabies &
1 C grade embabies

Right across the board there in relation to the quality.

So I guess the plan is the first FET - 1 of the A grades will go in. If it fails, will put in an A and a B and see what happens...they each have a 33% chance of working :) odds for once are in my favour :)
