My doctor’s office called today and AMAZINGLY all 7 remaining eggs made it to blastocyst stage so they were able to freeze all 7!!! We have no idea how they found the 7th that was MIA yesterday but who cares he/she is back! It is awesome to know that if this cycle fails we have enough embryos to try 2 more times. It is also good to know that our embryos are strong and hopefully the 3 in me are just as strong.
I am beyond words happy things are going great and desperately hope everything stays that way. So far we have mastered each step with almost perfection but that does not guarantee a pregnancy in the IVF world. Basically all we did was buy a chance at a successful pregnancy. Things can go textbook perfect the entire time but doctors cannot guarantee implantation; if they could pregnancy outcomes would be 100%. Embryo implantation is a very complex process, which consists of a series of phases in which the embryo has to appose and attach itself to the maternal endometrium and invade into it; not simple stuff. So here is hoping for invasion; I have never wanted something to invade me so badly.
Guess I need to make mention of one last thing. Hopefully it is nothing but if it eventually turns to be serious you will all know something was wrong beforehand. I started spotting this morning and it has continued off and on all day. My RE nurse said spotting was extremely rare but could happen and to call if the bleeding became excessive. It is in no way close to excessive so I am just praying it stops soon. The waiting, guessing, hoping, praying never ends….
