Alright everyone, it’s cycle day 3 and we are officially kicking off lucky transfer #3! I’m back on the Estrace 4 times daily and we have a lining check next Sunday and a transfer date of 11/9/2012 if everything goes well.
Now for the big question…one embryo or two. Back when we started IVF we were certain that we would do a single embryo transfer for the fresh cycle and then maybe put two in for the frozen ones if that first try didn’t work. We chickened out on transfer #2 and only did one again. We honestly didn’t think we would get to the point where we would actually need to really figure this out. So naive. Well here we are. We have less than two weeks to make a crazy difficult decision that could have a serious impact on our sanity and wallet. I know for most people it would seem pretty obvious to put two in. After what happened with the triplets, I am scared to death of carrying more than one baby. Even one baby will be scary. The thought of doing a reduction makes me sick, but if it comes down to that and it is what my doctor strongly advises us to do, I most likely would. I just really really do not want to.
Anyways, so we are in information gathering mode, trying to come up with as much knowledge as possible to aid us in this decision. We have the opinion and statistics from our RE and next week will be discussing it with the maternal fetal medicine doctor who cared for us with the triplets and who will be my high risk doctor for my next pregnancy no matter how many babies we have. Get ready to give me your advice next week when I will lay out more information than anyone will probably want to hear after this appointment.
Thanks for all of the love lately too…your comments are awesome!!
