Today is day three and we're down to three. One embryo didn't progress to the next stage. The other three have, but one of the three is growing slowly. It's a bit of a change from day two where two were spot on target and two were fast growing and already at 7 cells. I'm not sure which ones have survived and which one stopped growing or is growing slowly.
I'm just feeling a bit distant, I'm not upset that we lost one and will probably lose a second one. My clinic has said from the start that not all eggs are mature. Not all mature eggs will fertilise. Not all fertilized eggs will grow into embryos. Not all embryos will make to transfer and not all transfered embryos will end up as a live birth.
I am staying busy and keeping myself distracted. My house needs a good clean (I let the housework slip when the orgalutran was making me feel nauseated. I just couldn't face cleaning the bathroom while feeling so awful) On the weekend I bought a simple but time consuming cross stitch kit and I've got a few others that need to be finished. And I've got plenty of tv shows and movies to watch.
Tomorrow we've got to be at the fertility clinic by 10.30am for an 11am transfer. Then a new kind of waiting begins.
Praying that all 3 stay perfect and beautiful embryos! I know it's hard but I pray you can stay positive and calm during the next few days.
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite verse, it carried me through some tough days:
But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient. They will not be overdue a single day!" Habakkuk 2:3
Praying for you and your babies!
