Happy Transferversary to Luna and @eggwhisperer and us! One year ago today Dr. Aimee performed our fourth frozen embryo transfer using our best embryo, graded 3AA, from our second egg retrieval. Prior to this we transferred a fresh embryo, did not stick, a few months later we transferred a frozen embryo, which also did not stick, and another frozen embryo, which did stick and split into twins but ended in miscarriage 💔 They would have been one this month. The shock and bliss we felt when Dr. A called us 8 days later last year with the news cannot be expressed in words. I did not think it would happen for me. I had lost hope and I was trying one last time. I can’t imagine if I hadn’t kept going. If you are going through infertility treatment you are in my heart and my hope. If you need a sign to keep going let Luna be that sign 🌙 If you need a doctor recommendation, boy do I have one amazing (goddess) woman for you to meet! #ivf #ivfjourney #ivfsuccess #ivftransfer #ivfpregnancy #eggwhisperer #3aaembryo #4thtransfer #oneyearago https://www.instagram.com/p/ClAYGtnL41s/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Instead of lucky socks, I wore my pineapple necklace during my FET. Tommorow is my first blood test to see if I'm pregnant or not. I thought this was really cute and it gave me something to hold on to when my nerves were starting to go up during the FET, kind of like a "grounding technique." It did make me feel a little better. .

To test, or not to test, that is the question. Did you take a pregnancy test before seeing your provider? Were you happy with your decision? Comment below, your answers could help others decide. I am 5dp5dt. I am going to try to hold off testing, just in case I get a false negative. Just a few more days until my first HCG, then another repeat HCG two days after. To me it seems like more of a rollercoaster of emotions to test early, but to others it may give them peace of mind. I will admit I am definitely tempted from time to time to test early.

Despite someone pulling the fire alarm right before my embryo transfer (see previous post), I was still able to do my transfer. And yes, I had to hold from going pee with a full bladder (required for transfer) while the fireman were inside for about 30 minutes. When I was finally able to go back inside I only had one thing on my mind while they were inserting my embryo..."please don't pee, please don't pee, PLEEEASE!" I had to go so badly now that we were running late for my transfer. Near the last few minutes I could feel my heart rate going down. They told me that because I hadn't been called back when the alarm went off, they hadn't thawed the embryo yet. So my embryo was perfectly fine just chillin' in cryopreservation while I was nearly having a panic attack outside on the sidewalk. The embryologist said my embryo looks "beautiful" and that it was hatching, which I've heard is a good sign. I was able to go the bathroom right after the transfer, THANK YOU JESUS! I cannot believe this happened today, but I'm even more surprised I was still able to do the transfer despite the situation. What a rollercoaster of emotions! Phew! Right now I'm just relaxing in my hotel. In the next few days I'll be writing a detailed post on my blog (see bio) keep checking back to hear more details of my FET transfer. .

Feeling like a turbo nerd with my face shield on my flight for my embryo transfer tomorrow. I was surrounded by a symphony of sneezes about every 15 minutes or so. Not to mention coughing too. Most of which was coming from the family in front of me. So I felt a little better having worn this dork costume. Hopefully it provided some protection. I have to take a COVID test at the airport when I get home, my work also requires it. The stress I'm feeling with the pandemic and fertility treatment at the same time, is nothing compared to the families who are struggling with positive COVID tests, with loved ones in the hospital. I pray for them and I'm hoping we get a vaccine soon. Yes my face shield may seem over the top to some people, but there are people in my life who are immunocompromised and I would feel immense guilt if I didn't take every precaution possible. Stay safe everyone. ♥️ .
