Okay so I'm stretching it with the adjectives, but I figured "thrilling" is about the most positive word that I can come up with. Of the 6 eggs, 4 were mature, and 3 fertilized. I'm trying not to cry, because I know the "one" egg could be in those 3, but I just feel like all the eating healthy, acupuncture, vitamins was all a waste of time and money. Once a poor responder, always a poor responder, once an old lady, always an old lady. I'll be fine, I'm just going to have a 5 minute pity party and then go on with my day. I am grateful for the blessings that I have in my life today, and they are many.
On top of my blessings, I just found out that my friend who's been fighting against cancer (sinus spread to brain stem) is in remission. His cancer is gone and he did it by doing alternative therapies (diet, holistic doctors, electrotherapy, herbs, vitamin C and hydrogen peroxide injections, saunas, and more I can't even remember). The regular doctors are astonished because they told him he would die if he didn't do more chemo and radiation. Praise God!

Hoping for the one for you. I understand your hurting and frustration. Keep hoping.
Try to stay positive, like you said, the "one" could be in there! I totally understand the disapointment with poor response, it's so frustrating when our bodies don't cooperate. When do you think you'll transfer and how many if you don't mind my asking?
That's awesome that your friend went into remission!
Hoping so much for you....
We will transfer all 3 if they are still alive! My doctor would've transferred up to 4 for me.
Oh and my transfer will be on Saturday, a 3 day.
So nice to have such an optimistic doctor! I so hope there is a future baby/babies in there!!
That is GREAT news about your friend. Isn't it horrible that it takes hearing about a loved one being diagnosed with cancer to make an infertile feel kind of lucky (for like 30 seconds...). How fortunate we are to be alive. But how I also hope you, too, will bring new life into the world!
You're right, your one could be in that group of three. I'm praying so hard that all three make it to transfer!!
But you're also very right that you have so many blessings in your life. To keep myself from freaking out last night when I couldn't sleep, I was focusing really hard on how wonderful and blessed I am now. At first it wasn't easy, but in the end I felt much better.
I'm sending you lots of LOVE and big HUGS!
Such amazing news about your friend going into remission.
We truly are blessed. So many women out there will never even get the opportunity we have. God is good...and I'm sure you will be blessed even more. You are in my prayers...you'll need them in the 2ww! It is terrible, LOL!
Ugh...I think I can understand your disappointment, too. On the other hand, I truly hope that you get to meet one or more of those embryos in about 8.5 months!
Ack! Don't those embryos know they are supposed to wait until they are teenagers to disappoint you!? I hope those three get it together and make you some baby. I'll be thinking of you.
3's the charm. Good luck!
Great news about your friend! I'm so hoping that those three are three tough and strong embryos. But if they are anything like you they will be! Your one might be in that group of three you never know. As optimistic as everyone tells you to be in this process, know that it's okay to feel down or disappointed sometimes too. I think because we have so much at stake emotionally and financially we get down when everything is not perfect. I have learned that that's okay, only you know how you should be feeling right now. And the great thing is that there is no perfect way to feel, only what is perfect for us as an individual. But despite all that, I hope you have three beautiful embryos to transfer. Thinking of you often. Good luck Sat, I had a three day transfer too.
Hugs
doesn't sound too bad to me. i'll be sending positive thoughts saturday.
Go girl!
I know it's hard to be happy when the numbers fall but three still has you in with a huge chance! It's just down to that one fighter.
I've everything crossed for you.
Also really pleased to hear your good news re your friend. It's always good to hear good news. xx
It's saturday morning and I just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you, and praying for a great transfer!
