Navigating Parenthood: Embryo Transfer

Embryo Transfer

Today was the embryo transfer. We transferred one grade 2BB blastocyst. We only had the one reach blastocyst on day 5 so we did not qualify for the program that would have covered future FET if this one does not result in pregnancy. It was devastating; in fact tears rolled down my checks the entire time during the transfer. They wanted us to transfer 2 but wifey and I already discussed that we do not want twins and I declined... that was hard too.

Our embryos will continue to grow and we could get some good ones to freeze but we will have to pay for it.

Good news is I got a new job where I work and its a promotion.

Well... I am in bed rest till Friday and we have our first blood draw a week from tomorrow.

Please send us baby dust and sticky vibes... it's been such a long and emotional road and I am definitely feeling defeated.
