July

The retrieval is done. It was a little disappointing. They only got 5 eggs. Of those, only 1 was mature, but they inseminated them all anyway. All 5 fertilized. On day 5/6 only 4 were still growing. That day, they were biopsied for the chromosome testing and frozen. The results from the testing came back with only 2 "normal" embryos.

Facts to make myself feel better about the results:
*They will only implant 2 embryos to Caryn
*Caryn will not be able to do another round afterwards
*We really only started with 1 (rest not matured) and 2 is better then 1
*No extra charges for storage or decisions about any extra embryos.

But...it still feels like my body failed us again.

Caryn is getting ready for the transfer. She has had a couple visits to Arizona for them to do some tests and make sure everything is going well. The trips have been there and back all in the same day. Long days, but works best with the kids since I would normally watch them, plus nice to just have one day for it and be done. She has more details on her blog post about her appointments. July 12th we are going back to make sure her uterus is starting to look "homey" for the embryos. Then we will drive out on the 17th for the transfer on the 18th. We are staying in Arizona a little longer this time. First of all, the clinic wants to do blood tests on her on the 22nd and 23rd. So that will give her 5 days of bed rest at a hotel with me waiting on her hand and foot! Lol!

Anxious and excited about everything this month. Trying to remember to still enjoy each day, because I am just ready for it to be July 29th and have results of pregnancy test. That is the fork in the road.
