FET update - transfer

We transferred a single two-celled embryo, the Draft Pick, this morning. We didn't get a picture like last time; the lab camera was broken. We did, however, get to go into the lab and look through the microscope, which was totallly cool. The Draft Pick looked good - all two round cells of it. (Yes, we're doing an FET with a TWO. CELLED. EMBRYO. Oh the optimism of it all.) A second had been thawed as well - to transfer one you really need to thaw two in order to be sure you have something good to work with - and didn't look very good; three very unequally developed cells so there is little chance at all that they will re-freeze it. Not much point, really, since it's pretty clear that it would never make it in the Big Leagues.

So our hockey team is down to eight. And the Draft Pick, of course.

Blood test in two weeks.

And just to keep up with my reputation of the ART cycle with the fewest possible updates, I should warn you not to expect any HPTs along the way. I just never saw the point.

Good luck in the 2ww then! How do you plan to distract yourself during that time?
