Well, just as I was getting ready to go to the doctor for the embryo transfer, I got a call! The embryologist called to give me good news! 2 of my embryos are 8 cell, 1 is 7 cell and the other is 5 cell. Because they would normally transfer 3 embryos on a day 3 transfer, they decided to wait till day 5. They said the embryos are really good and they'd rather let nature (God) decide which two (or one) they should transfer. They didn't want to risk me getting pregnant with triplets. Because I'm short and petite, it would be a very high risk pregnancy if I ended up with triplets and they would prefer that not happen. Their goal is one healthy baby...two is a rare situation. So...we wait some more! This is actually really good news. It gives my body more time to recover from the egg retrieval. Plus, like a dummy, I was picking up my nephew today and now I really hurt. Those cute kids are so hard to resist, but I need to take it easy. My plan is to clean my house this weekend and get everything ready for Thanksgiving guests. Sunday, I will arrive at the doc's office at 9:30am and then the transfer will be at 10am. Then, it's bed rest until Wednesday morning. I'll definitely take it easy, but I have to make food for Thanksgiving! "Grandpa's dressing" won't cook itself! Plus, I'll have a great excuse to eat WAY too much food. Now if I could just get my appetite back. :) So...we wait...encouraged!
